Tampers for VST baskets on a budget
{link} I know this is over your $50 budget but I really enjoy using the 58.4mm skate tamper {link}. It's $99 right now, though I've seen it listed a few times for $79 - probably during holiday sales. A 58.4/58.5 tamper feels so much better than a 58.0mm tamper due to the lack of play in the
