Effortless Mud Dispenser
The back-saving cordless mud pump from Graco can be programmed to dispense an exact amount of compound to fit the tool you're using.
I’ve slung a lot of drywall mud in my day. I started out shoveling mud onto my hawks and into my pans with a 6-in. knife. I then upgraded to banjos, then bazooka-style tapers that require a hand pump. I used that same pump to fill the various flat boxes I eventually acquired. So, when I came across the new Graco PowerFill 3.5 Pro Series, which as far as I know is the only cordless mud pump out there, I knew it was time to graduate to the next level.
I spent a little over $1500 for my Graco PowerFill 3.5, which included a battery and charger. That’s a little spendy, but I typically work with other finishers, and I’ve noticed a savings just on time spent waiting at the bucket in the refill traffic jam. You can buy one online or at specialty tool retailers.
