What's that HAMMER garden tool?(long vertical to wack hammer,ground stone/pebbles?)

Danny_G

What is that tool that gardeners use, to compress and press pebbles/stones in a channel /trench in a garden?

It is a vertical pole, with I think a plate at the bottom,
you hold it from the top and you wack down,

The plate Wacks and Hits the stones/pebbles to compress them so that they are tight.

What is the tool called? and where can you get it for at a good price?


and this tool is NOT an Electric tool, but a manual tool

A jackhammer? With a compactor plate?

I think you mean a tamper (sometimes also referred to as a rammer)

Tamper as stated is what you described. I bought one to compact some MOT grade 1, found it ineffective and gave up and hired a plate compactor from HSS instead. Would probably be OK for smaller stones though.

Yes I have this one, it is a much better tool than the Screwfix one where the head is far too big.
