Abstract: A tool is provided for filling sandbags in an efficient and easy manner, even with a single individual. The tool is in the form of a chute suspended above ground by a plurality of legs. The chute has a mouth at one side and a spout opposite the mouth. The mouth presents a large target into which sand can be placed. This sand then travels through the chute and exits through the spout. A sandbag is placed over the spout so that it captures sand exiting the chute. A fastener is provided, such as in the form of a clip, which removably attaches an opening of the sandbag over the spout. A ballast bag is provided which can be filled with sand and suspended from the chute to enhance the stability of the filler. The legs are removably attachable and the chute is configured to nest with other chutes.
