We don’t believe in planned obsolescence and we don’t believe contractors should have to rent their gear. We want you to own our tools – and we’re confident that once you do, you’ll come back for more. Not only that, but our parts are virtually 100% interchangeable with other major brands. Whether you lease-to-own or purchase outright, our approachable prices and long-lasting tools will put you in charge of your business in ways you’ve never been before.
Drywall Master was founded by Larry D’Souza, a longtime veteran of the automatic taping and finishing industry. Before DMT, Larry and his partners had already defined the industry by starting one of the first companies to sell a complete set of automatic taping tools. Between 1980 and 1987, that business grew from a small company to an international presence, with dealers on four continents representing most of the industrialized world. One of our main design engineers, Robert "Johnny" Payne, was also a longtime veteran of Ames Taping Tools who worked directly with Stan and Bob Ames to develop some of the very first Taping Tools.
