Walensee Steel Tamper 48 inch Steel Handle 10"x10" Garden Tamper with Rubber Grip for Laborsaving All-Steel Tamper Heavy Duty Ideal Tool for Leveling Ground Installing pavers and Repairing Blacktop

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.

Easy to put together .. made of good materials.. the tamper is solid .. worked very well.

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

This works great its sturdy and solid the only downside is is that if the dirts alittle damp it will stick and clump on the plate, im gonna try to remedy it by coating it with tephlon or even a cheap can of silicone spray to coat it with periodically while in use.

I like the sturdiness of this tool. I liked that it wasn't too heavy to do the job, yet got the job done. I used it to tamp the sand down before I laid some dog turf. Oh and the price was much better than in the store, you don't wait long for delivery, or have to go to the store!

Works well but your hands will be sore in weird places.

It’s good, but not totally solid when built

It tamps. Boy does it tamp. Maybe a little slippery with the handle but heck me it tamps.

Worked great to pack in the ditch I dug to bury some electrical wires

I love it it’s very good

Just arrived - can't want to use it
