For tight, deep compaction work, choose the SuperHandy Jumping Jack
Trying to compact trench backfill where a plate compactor won’t fit?
Introducing the SuperHandy Jumping Jack, built for contractors, landscapers, utility crews, and serious DIYers who need dependable compaction in narrow, deep, and hard-to-reach areas.
Instead of fighting wide equipment or wasting time with manual tampers, a jumping jack delivers focused, vertical impact compaction right where the soil needs it most—inside trenches, along foundations, around posts, and near edges.
That matters because these are the exact areas where poor compaction turns into real problems later: settling, uneven surfaces, dips in repaired ground, and callbacks that eat up time and profit.
The SuperHandy Jumping Jack helps you compact backfill more consistently, giving you a firmer base for patches, walkways, or any surface that needs to hold up under use after the job is finished.
It also keeps your workflow simple. You can compact in the footprint you already have, instead of widening trenches just to get equipment access or doing multiple slow passes with less effective tools.
And because it’s made for tight-space jobs, it’s a practical solution for routine trench work, repairs, and small-area prep where a plate compactor is either inefficient or impossible to use.
If you want clean, reliable compaction in confined spaces—without slowing the job down—the SuperHandy Jumping Jack is a straightforward tool that helps you finish backfill the right way the first time.
Why Choose The SuperHandy Jumping Jack Tamping Rammer?
-
Packs material in trenches and tight runs where plate compactors can’t reach, so you can compact the actual cut instead of widening the job just to fit equipment.
-
Helps reduce settling and soft spots in backfill, which means fewer call-backs and fewer “repair the repair” headaches after the ground has time to move.
-
A better tool for cohesive soils (like clay) and trench backfill work, where surface vibration isn’t enough and you need concentrated downward impact to lock material in.
-
Keeps workflow moving on utility, plumbing, and drainage jobs—compact as you backfill instead of stopping to hand tamp or leaving weak sections behind.
-
Makes patch and edge work more predictable by compacting where it matters most (around foundations, posts, and tight corners) without fighting a wide machine.
-
Cuts down on labor strain compared to manual tamping, especially when you’re doing repeated lifts/compaction passes in long trenches or multiple small areas.
-
Helps you finish jobs cleaner and flatter by tightening the base before the next step (gravel, base, concrete, pavers, or asphalt patch), so the surface holds up better over time.
-
Practical for crews and serious DIYers who need “jobsite compaction” without bringing in larger equipment that’s inconvenient for small areas and confined spaces.
