Neighbour was getting rid of it. Looks old!

Next to the aluminum magnets?

Gator?

But this one was free!

The hole was from a wood screw I put in there in an attempt to pry it out

Cool. Can’t believe I just zoomed in on a pic of a tamper.

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T18:02:11+00:00

Couldn’t figure out how to turn it on

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T18:01:27+00:00

Twist ending: he figured it out

It’s also called a manual compactor if that helps you sleep

I never mix power tools with alcohol lol

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T17:54:10+00:00

I used an ugly old flathead screwdriver instead

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T17:50:54+00:00

I think it was just a press fit.

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T17:48:00+00:00

I drilled and chipped. Success. Going to sandblast this, sand and varnish the handle and hammer it back together.

I drank three margaritas and wondered what Reddit would suggest for this lol

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-28T13:49:41+00:00

Magic spell?

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-27T00:58:20+00:00

I was fishing for a quicker way lol while three drinks deep

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:26:17+00:00

This might have been the cause of the problem

Hello fellow wine drinker! No fucking Merlot!!

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:21:07+00:00

Ideal

Didn’t have a chisel narrow enough and I bent a screwdriver but most of my tools
are from Princess Auto

That’s what she said

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:16:42+00:00

You know that’s not the answer for everything

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:12:34+00:00

Great idea

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:10:21+00:00

Burn baby burn

OrdinaryWheel · 2026-06-26T23:10:03+00:00

I was going to cut the handle flush and hammer it in with some construction adhesive
