Walensee Steel Tamper with 48 inch Handle 8"x8" Garden Tamper with Rubber Grip All-Steel Heavy Duty Tamper Tool for Leveling Ground Gravel Soil Asphalt Sand Installing pavers and Repairing Blacktop

This steel tamper is very solid and well made. The 48-inch handle makes it easy to use without bending over, and the rubber grip is comfortable and secure. It’s heavy-duty and works exactly as expected, making tamping much easier and less tiring. Great quality tool and definitely worth it.

Likes: 1) It's a good weight (9 lbs) 2) It's VERY STURDY 3) It's "customizable" 4) The supplied nuts are nylon "locking" types - they WILL NOT "spontaneously loosen"! 5) The steel tube material is BEEFY - it won't "easily crumple, etc." with use 6) The "bracket welds" on the "tamp plate" are impressive - I don't expect them to break under "normal use" 7) Assembly is VERY EASY - the holes actually LINE UP! Dislikes: 1) As noted by other reviewers, the SCREWS are a bit long! 2) The "tamp plate" material "could" be a little thicker (i.e., by 50%?) This tamper does a Very Good Job of "compacting" yard waste (chopped blackberries, etc.) in the disposal bin. I put it together using ONLY ONE handle tube (the one with the rubber end) as that's all I needed for using it and, to my "surprise", the finished length is PERFECT for my use! Assembly: DO NOT USE the enclosed "nut wrench" - rather use a 1/2" socket and ratchet handle. Trust me, the ratchet will make tightening the nuts a lot easier. The enclosed HEX WRENCH is more than adequate for "holding" the bolts while you tighten the nuts. Yes, you can "over-tighten" the nuts a little - this will help prevent "rattling" by "compressing" the steel against itself. Bolt length: I appreciate the "generous" bolt length, however once assembled/tightened, there is "quite a bit" of protruding threads (between 3/8" and 1/2"). However, this can be alleviated by using a hacksaw or "Dremel" tool with a cutting disc to lop off the extra threads. Just remember to FILE DOWN the sharp edges afterward (especially the HANDLE bolts)! :) Otherwise, this is a Very Good "budget" tool for the "casual, etc." gardener.

Clever packaging and good overall product.. saved me 20$ vs hardware store. Other reviews are correct.. the extra long bolts stick out quite a bit and are annoying. Not a deal breaker for me since I’ll use sparingly for minor yard projects but wouldn’t buy otherwise. Bolted components for the shaft vs a store bought singular shaft make it so that it feels a bit loose and upon impact you can feel it clink/shift in your grip a bit. The 10x10” size is nice and larger than others I saw at Home Depot 8x8

I used around my new cement drive and walkway. Worked well, easiest way to build yard up and compact it. Just bolt handle together and bolt tamper on with 2 bolts. Highly recommend product and seller.

I bought this steel tamper to help level some dirt and gravel for a small patio I was building, and honestly, it's been one of those "why didn't I get this sooner?" tools. It's simple, super solid, and kind of satisfying to use. The handle is just the right length so you can get some good force without killing your back, and the plate is heavy enough to do the job but not so heavy you can't lift it after ten minutes. I used it for a couple of afternoons in rocky soil, and it doesn't seem any worse for wear. Bonus: it's weirdly fun to stomp down dirt with this thing. If you need packed earth, this tamper gets it done.

Works great leveling high spots

This tamper works well but isn’t very sturdy feeling. It comes in several pieces and has to be built using screws. No big deal but don’t expect a tamper like you’d get at a home improvement store. The joints where it connects stay somewhat loose.

Has worked good for yard project. Don’t know if it’ll be good for every day. Use the Worth money. If you for occasional DIY

Werkzeug beiliegend, Zusammenbau dadurch noch einfacher. Verarbeitung ist gut. Liegt gut in der Hand, hat ein angenehmes Gewicht.

Good Product Sturdy, easy to put together works well

田んぼのあぜ道の補修に使用。 少し疲れますが、重くていい感じに補修ができます。翌日少し腰が痛くなりました。
