Stainless steel tamper MEGA 480×130 mm with serrated tooth 8×8 mm - model 61622

Hand tool tamper MEGA 480×130 mm with serrated tooth 8×8 mm is a stainless steel compaction tool designed for preparing and leveling soil, gravel and paving base layers. The tamper's rectangular face measures 480×130 mm and features a serrated 8×8 mm tooth pattern that increases mechanical interlock with aggregate, improving compaction efficiency. Corrosion-resistant stainless construction ensures suitability for outdoor use and reduces maintenance needs.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to rust, making the tamper suitable for repeated use in damp or outdoor environments. The serrated tooth pattern enhances grip on loose materials and helps achieve more uniform density across the compacted layer. The elongated rectangular face offers a balance between coverage and maneuverability, allowing controlled tamping along linear areas and broader surfaces.

Suitable for

• Compacting soil and subsoil before laying pavement or slabs
• Leveling and stabilizing gravel and crushed stone base layers
• Tamping bedding material for paving blocks and kerbstones
• Small-scale landscaping and site preparation tasks

Key specifications

• Tamper face dimensions: 480 × 130 mm
• Face pattern: serrated teeth, 8 × 8 mm
• Material: stainless steel
• Type: hand tamper for manual compaction
• Typical applications: soil, gravel, paving base layers

How to use

Position the tamper on the area to be compacted and apply evenly distributed downward force while lifting and repositioning along the work line. For best results, work across the surface in overlapping passes to achieve uniform density. When compacting coarse aggregate, use slightly heavier strikes and ensure the serrated teeth engage the material to increase interlock. After use, clean off adhered material and store the tool in a dry location to maintain the stainless surface.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and sturdy footwear. Combine manual tamping with mechanical compaction methods for larger areas. Inspect the tamper regularly for wear on the serrated face and replace if teeth become excessively worn to maintain compaction performance.
