TAMPING TOOL
A tamp having replaceable tamp plates which, when operatively coupled to a tamp handle, can rotate relative to the tamp handle, or a longitudinal axis of the tamp handle, when in use to better allow a tamp plate surface to conform to the material being tamped, while allowing the handle to be more easily maintained in an orientation desired by the user and while reducing or absorbing shock. The tamp may also include “dead blow” material such as steel shot or the like to improve the inertia, efficiency and impact of the tamp as it is being utilized, while reducing recoil effects.
