rammer
Device for tamping
A rammer is a tool or device for ramming—compacting, driving, or forcing something into place.
Construction workers use rammers to compact soil or gravel.
In historical artillery, a rammer pushed the charge and ball down the cannon barrel.
He tamped the earth with a rammer.
The word also describes anyone or anything that rams.
