I was driving along and my regular tamper hit the floor, so I reached for what I had... and it works! Well. Probably get lead poisoning. But you know whatever lol.

 

[johnnyflake]

Nothing special for me!
I use the raised 3 1/2" Golf Tee, on the left end, a lot and the one on the right end, a lot as well.
The raised golf tee works really well and it has a pick, so to speak, on one end. The cost about $4 for a pack of 20

 

[luckysaturn13]

You guys are genius! Turns out I've had a tamping tool all along lol

 

[Griz]

I ordered a custom made tamper from a carver on etsy, he just e mailed and it's on the way to me, should be here Friday, I will post pics when I get it. It is awesome.....

 

[mikeman84]

Here are the 3 I use, the wooden ones I made myself. Nothing fancy but the work.

 

[irie]

Not my actual finger but you get the idea

 

[SeaGarr]

Not my actual finger but you get the idea

You sir - have an iron disposition .

 

[irie]

nahh, ash is a good insulator, and guitar is a good trainer

 

[SeaGarr]

Yup - that'll do it .

 

[Grrrrr609]

Not my actual finger but you get the idea

Old man in a pipe shop told me, "God gave ya 10 tampers".

 

[irie]

old man aint lyin!

 

[Griz]

Mailman just dropped off my new tamper, carved by Rik Ruff, found him on etsy.
These are ones that I made, all deer antler, the third one is turned on the lathe, I'm going to have a friend of mine carve it soon.

This is the one Ric made

I had him carve Rev. 20:15 on the end.... I was gonna make ya look it up yourself, but I'm a nice guy so,
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"

Every time someone quotes that...


Without Fail!!


Awesome tamper buddy! All of them!

For whatever reason, that made me chuckle out loud.

[cgraunke]

@K Williams, you make me want to step up my tamper game, too.
I'm still using my pipe nail from @Grrrrr609 that he sent as my newbie pipe sponsor!
Love that Boswell shotshell, and the Lowborn are particularly sharp as well.
