Chapin, Shaker Spreader for Turf Salt, Load Capacity 4 lb, Max. Spread Width 3 ft, Model# 8740A

My wife really loves this for applying ice-melter on our stairs, as it provides lots of options for distributing (difference sized openings), and is much small and lighter than the ones sold by the ice-melter companies. She would highly recommend !

This ended up being larger than I expected, which is actually a plus for covering more area without constant refills. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, and the grip feels comfortable. The different opening options are useful depending on what you’re spreading. Simple and works well.

I purchased this to spread some grass seed in bare spots on my front lawn. This hand spreader didn't disappoint. It worked just right spreading the seed nicely. Some reviewers had a problem with how the lid screwed onto the container. You have to make sure when doing so to tighten it until you feel a click. Then the lid is on tight. This spreader worked great for us and I would recommend it.

This spreader worked great. Slowly spread it a long ways as opposed to dumping it in heaps and not finishing the job.

Good so far for distribution of ice melt. I use the wide opening. Sturdy. Easy twist on and off. I have a separate cup for the ice melt bag to pour into this one. Holds enough for one driveway distribution. The long "spout?" makes shaking it all out that end easy. I wish there was an opening between just fully open and the largest available holes to maybe just make it come out a little less, but it's ok. Not mad I bought it.
