Have you considered just renting a tamper for 1/2 day? 1000 sq.ft. shouldn't take more than a couple hours and for $100/day I think it would be much more cost effective.
$40 for a whole day here and I don’t have something I used twice in my life taking up room. I love tools but having a big heavy hardly used tool taking up space being in the way sounds badHave you considered just renting a tamper for 1/2 day? 1000 sq.ft. shouldn't take more than a couple hours and for $100/day I think it would be much more cost effective.
I need to do a good deal of tamping. I don't rent tools, I buy them or I make them. I have a HF 70lb jack hammer which has treated me exceptionally well over the years. I've been looking for second hand tampers and they're $800~ locally, which is a bit more than I want to spend. Then i came across a tamping bit that would fit my hammer, but I was afraid that the additional weight of the bit might be hard on the motor and shorten it's life. Has anyone considered something like this?
This is the bit:
