This little tool tamps freshly poured ready-mix concrete to (A) help fill the forms, and most importantly (B) push down the aggregate--the little stones--a little bit to bring the fines up to the surface. That makes troweling the concrete surface using a 12 inch steel float to a nice, smooth finish.This little tamping tool is good to use on small projects like narrow walkways. In no way would it be suitable for driveways and even longer sidewalks. I had considered just making one out of scrap expanded metal and angle iron. But this is much simpler and does the job.
