        A:  Great question, I never thought about that. I didn't purchase a warranty. I am guessing if you bought it recently they would exchange it.

              Q:What is a steel tamper used for
              by|Mar 10, 2017

              Answer This Question

              A:  You use it to pack down soil or other materials. You lift it up and then slam it straight down and it flattens earth. You can use them on sports fields around the pitchers mound. You can use them in your yard to pack down soil loosened by critters....If you have stones that you want flattened instead of irregular depths in a garden you could hammer them down with it.

                  A:  This tool is ideal for tamping asphalt, gravel, stone, and dirt. For example, it could be used for installing pavers and repairing blacktop. It helps make the surface flat and compacted.

                      I didn’t realize how heavy it would be, but that’s a good thing. I’m almost a senior citizen but there are areas of the yard where the dirt and gravel needs “fixing”. I lift it up about maybe six inches—if that—and gravity takes care of the rest. I like the wooden handle over anything else because wood absorbs the shock. This is well made and should last for years. I also added an image saying where it’s made….

                      Heavy duty tamper, impressed with the weight. Used it to tamper the ground for a 20'×15' 3000g pond.

                      My purpose for the tamper was to help create a transition between my driveway and our newly paved road. Our municipality did not mill the road first but rather paved over the existing pavement. This created a steep incline into the driveway. The tamper worked well with Road Rescue Asphalt Repair. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Road-Rescue-50-lbs-Asphalt-Repair-AP-50/206597770

                      worked great
                      The price was a little steep for the product. It worked very well by compacting the ground door my block wall.
