and boon is still young guy, he needs to please many woman in evening so better have clean fingers,
Looks like a trowel, and if you listed carefully, I believe he refers to it as such.I'm inclined to say that articulated tamping tool (around 12:30) has to be the most specific tool that I've ever seen. Anybody else own/use one?

Gloves? Yeah, that was one of the things that was new to me when I went to the repotting Intensive. I had never used gloves before. Thought it was kind of strange. But Boon and all the more experienced students put them on, so I did too. And I found it was nice to be able to do all the dirty work, and still have clean hands. It's now become part of my routine when I'm repotting. It's optional, of course.
One of the other students had discovered the black ones at Advance Autoparts. They are a little thicker, so they hold up a little better.
I teach classes, and when I teach repotting, I give my students a pair. They seem to appreciate them.

Lenz danced to the beat of a different drum.Its kind of funny but thirty some years ago I was hanging out with Lenz and he was repotting trees and tending trees and collecting trees--basically doing tree stuff. After watching him do the tasks with minimal tools--mostly with just his fingers, I asked him why some bonsai people used chop-a-sticks, patty trowels, dedicated repotting scythes, wee brooms and wear little white gloves and such when repotting (I had just witnesses this at a bonsai camp get together) and he explained that this propensity pervades many arts and and often is exaggerated by students. He explained, to me a young man, that using piles of bonsai tools is, not only a distracting waste of money but often just cultural imitation and can end up being a distancing mechanism that diminishes the tactile and organic factors that are the most important. He seemed to always used the simplest and most direct methods. If he needed to settle soil it was with his fingers and hands (and water)--never a tool. He would make fun of a long water wand or fancy tools and always repeating that they just moved you farther and farther from the trees.
But when I repot, I DO use my tamper.
Because I have it. I used to use my small one. But now that I have the one with the long handle, I use it. I find it works better than either my small tamper, or the flat "spade" that is on the back side of a pair of tweezers. If I didn't have one, I would use either of those. I mean, I went without one for years. But now that I have one, I use it.Why?
