Rammer

A rammer is a heavy-duty tool used for compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt, typically in confined spaces where larger compactors cannot be used. It consists of a weighted base attached to a long handle, and it is operated by repeatedly lifting and dropping the base onto the surface to be compacted. Rammers are essential for preparing the base for sidewalks, driveways, and other hardscape installations, ensuring that the ground is firm and level before the final surface is applied. The tool’s design allows for precise compaction in narrow trenches and around obstacles, making it ideal for detailed landscaping work.
