Product Description
Milwaukee Tamper Shank
Model Number: 48-62-2097
The Milwaukee 48-62-2097 is a Tamper Shank — the replaceable shank component designed for use with the Milwaukee Tamper Plate 48-62-3060, providing the demolition hammer attachment interface that connects the tamper plate to Milwaukee demolition hammers for soil and fill compaction work in confined trench and footing areas. The tamper shank serves as the structural connection between the hammer's tool holder and the tamper plate face, transferring the demolition hammer's high-frequency impact energy from the tool holder to the tamper plate with the efficiency and structural integrity needed for effective compaction. Because the tamper shank is a separate replaceable component from the tamper plate, it can be replaced independently when the shank sustains damage or wear without requiring replacement of the full tamper plate assembly — a practical serviceability advantage that reduces the cost of maintaining the complete tamper attachment in working condition over extended use.
The tamper shank's replacement design recognizes that shank damage is a more common service event than tamper plate damage in field compaction work — the shank interfaces directly with the demolition hammer's tool holder and experiences the full impact loading from each hammer strike, while the tamper plate itself primarily experiences the lower-stress soil reaction forces. Having a replaceable shank provides a cost-effective maintenance path when the shank bends, cracks, or wears to the point of poor tool holder engagement without the expense of replacing the more substantial tamper plate. Always use the tamper shank with the correct Milwaukee tamper plate (48-62-3060) and compatible Milwaukee demolition hammers for the complete compaction attachment system as Milwaukee designs and rates it.
