Tampers make it easy to firmly pack materials like loose soil, clay, sand and aggregate like gravel. They’re also indispensable when it comes to making surfaces denser and more level. This is essential when it comes to sod repair, compacting trenches or preparing paving surface foundations on drives, walks and patios.

Reinders offers only the industry’s best dirt, soil and irrigation tamper tools by time-tested brands like Corona, Kenyon and Seymour Midwest. Here’s a roundup of our superior products.

For more than ninety years, Corona Tools has been leading the pack with the highest quality tools and equipment for commercial lawn and landscape contractors and irrigation professionals.

Got a job that requires tamping in trenches and tight spaces? We highly recommend the Corona - 3.5" X 12" Dirt Tamp with 58" Handle. This top-rated steel tamper for dirt provides the perfect combination of weight and strength and won’t break like wood. Constructed of the highest-quality welded steel and armed with a 58-inch steel handle, this super-strong dirt tamper comes with a ¼-inch-thick steel plate head and gussets for ultimate strength and uniform tamping.

Need a larger tamper head with the same, long 58-inch handle? We also offer Corona’s 8-inch-square dirt tamper.

As the premium brand owned by global toolmaker giant Seymour Midwest, Structron Tools is known for commercial-grade hand tampers that offer more power and fit better in your hands. That’s because Structron has always been a toolmaker, not a commodities distributor.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use tamper for dirt and soil, this one has a 5 out of 5 Amazon rating.  Its 8-inch-square, cast-iron head still delivers superior force, however, for compacting trenches, repairing sod or preparing paving surface foundations on drives, walks and patios.

As one of Seymour Midwest’s specialty brands, Kenyon is known for focusing specifically on tools for the professional landscape and irrigation industry. So you know their hand tamper tools for soil, dirt and other materials have been created with your particular jobs in mind.

If you’re looking for an irrigation hand tamper with a lightweight but strong wooden handle, this is the one to get. Its 10-inch-square, cast-iron head is securely fastened with a wedge and screw with four braced corners. Its 44-inch-long, precision-lathed, turned, American ash handle, meanwhile, is made of the strongest wood available.

Designed for rugged, professional use, this one-piece tamper for dirt’s 10-inch-square, ¼-inch thick steel base plate creates a strong base for flattening and leveling asphalt, dirt and other materials. Offering a 60-inch handle of steel with 12-inch, double-dipped vinyl grips, this heavy-duty, maximum-strength option is also comfortable and easy to use.

Like the 10-inch-square steel head but need a shorter handle length? Try the Kenyon - 10" X 10" All-Steel Tamper with 1/4" Base Plate and 48" Red Handle.

Or, if you like the 48-inch handle, but need a slightly smaller, thicker steel head, choose the Kenyon 8" x 8" All-Steel Tamp with 3/8" Base Plate and 48" Handle.

Need a dedicated trench tamp for tight spaces, mounds, places and trenches? Reinders recommends the Kenyon 4” X 10” Trench Tamper with 58” Steel Handle. With its narrow steel head and long handle, this trenching tamper is perfect for compacting the base of a trench.

We also offer Kenyon’s 8" Tamper Boot with a no-fail Velcro enclosure, for softening the blow and preventing soil from sticking.
