Evolution Power Tools H320-E Hulk Electro Plate Compactor, Electric - Ideal for Levelling Pavement, Artificial Turf Ground Preparation, Patio, Blockwork, Sand, Soil & More - 3 Year Warranty, 230V

Excelent little wacker plate. Easy to manager and get into tight spots. Dose a fine job of leveling hardcore making it co.pact enough to put up a seed or preparing for flag stones. Not to much vibration through the handle and not too much noise would highly recomend and cheaper than hiring one. Top marks

Fast delivery, item as decribe. Does the job I want, excellent.

It's quite small and light but as long as you only compact a little bit at a time it does the job. Only bought it because the cost of hiring one is quite high with delivery included. Now I can take my time doing the job and when finished I will just sell on for £100 or so and save a heap on hiring one

Brilliant bit of kit

Bought this after seeing a review on you tube by the gosforth handyman. I’m doing a lot of patio work (for the first time) on weekends in my garden so didn’t want to hire one. First impressions were good. Feels well built. Took about 5 minutes to put together. I’ve never used a walker plate before so wasn’t sure what to expect. It obviously vibrates heavily which does start to hurt your hands after a couple of minutes. Probably because you have to hold tight to direct it where you want it to go. The front does bounce up and down a bit at times. I’ve been doing it layers and everything is well compacted and stable. This is aimed squarely at the diy man. Not for professional tradesmen and for that I’d say it does exactly what’s it’s meant to.

this is a great tool and easy to use just take you time as it works better on wet than dry

I've only started using this compactor, having chosen to buy and take my time rather than hiring and being instantly against the clock. So far I am very impressed and it is very good at compacting MOT type 1. I am using it in a narrow space and it's small dimensions and relative light weight mean it is perfect for my job. If you build up shallow layers of the hard core as you should do in any case, you will find this machine can easily do the job. Very happy with my purchase.

Convenient light to use beening electric. Compaction extremely poor on MOT CRUSHED stone sub base for layers for layers above three inches or 75mm deep. Just about dose the job.
