I haven't tried it. But it looks awesome! I was saying to myself that I would buy one next time I wanted to buy a legit tamper. But damn. $200 is more than I can spend on that part of the setup.

Thanks for sharing though.

'I want it all and I'd like it delivered.'

At 200-Bucks - that's a bargain!

I do have the Mahlgut Palm Dozer & Buzzer Tamper. However, I would like this too...

how do you like them?? I've never tried a distribution tool like this. I doubt it'll be too much help with my hg-1 because I use the tumbler but I can't wait to try it with my versalab

To be honest it looks more annoying to have both things in one device than it does convenient. But I like to press the top of my levtamp.

I do like them; in combination with the Blind Tumbler it's a near perfect set.

I have one, it is nicely made and does a nice job at distribution.

I've already thought doing something like this desing and my concern when I thought it it was the following: if you have your hand dirty you would transfer its dirt to the distribution face every time to use the tamp face... Hope you understand what I try to explain.
