“Got fed up of trying to hire and pay huge costs of so doing. Used the Hulk to prepare a sub base about eight square metres. Works really well on soil and MOT type 1. Four passes enough to get a really good base for concreting. Bargain at this price especially when you compare to cost of hiring.”

“A neat and handy unit for carrying out small compacting tasks such as during relaying /repairs of uneven drive block paving. It tends to 'bounce' a bit occasionally - but I think there is a skill in understanding how best to avoid this problem. Although a lot can be achieved by hand with a rubber mallet - the blocks do seem to have a lot more even appearance using the Hulk. Pleased it is compact and easy to store. Some over-centre clamps on the handles would have made it easier to collapse and fold over the handle sections for even neater storage. The 'rubber' compactor pad is difficult to fit - I was quite surprised after some period of struggling that I managed to do it. The fixings need a redesign and at very least some longer bolts. However, for the price, I think it was a good buy and takes the hassle out of hiring equipment for small tasks that can then be spread over a few days/weeks.”

“Great bit of kit. I used it to compact soil around my swimming pool (5m X 10.5m) on three sides with width of 2m before laying artificial grass. It did the job perfectly. Will also use to compact hardcore for base for store. Would recommend for keen DIY.”

“Very good except for bolts holding handle on vibrate loose all the time”

“A good tool for Heavey Domestic work. On 'Type 1' little and often is the way to go, about 30mm per layer. Its nice and quiet so you dont need ear defenders. Its light enough to be fairley easy to pull around, but a little more wieght would help the action. Its got a good length of power cable so you dont need the clutter of lead reels on the work site. All things considered its a good little tool about the garden as well as a building site, but it would be great if the top handle could be easily folded to make storage easier, I would recomend it.”

“Easy to use, compact design. Has made an excellent job in preparing a reasonable area of thick clay which has been compacted with type one sub-base prior to artificial grass laying.”
