## Overview

The Chapin 8740A Shaker Spreader is a lightweight, ergonomic tool designed for precise spreading of turf salt, fertilizer, and grass seed.

Ideal for small outdoor areas, it ensures efficient winter and year-round lawn care without the bulk.

## Description

Keep your sidewalks, steps and small areas clean in the winter. Our 8740A hand salt shaker features a scoop-to-fill design with multiple openings to apply large and small particulates. This model can be used year-round with fertilizers and grass seeds as well as ice melt. Not recommended for use with rock salt.

Review: 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.
Review: Spreading grass seed? Don't feel like investing in a push or pull spreader. Buy this! The large handle makes it relatively comfortable to hold and easy to use. Fairly ergonomic design. Choose your feed or spread rate by rotating the dial and you're off and running. It's built well and holds more seed than I thought it might. Super functional and makes spreading a faster and more efficient process. I'd imagine you could use it with fertilizer too. Lastly I like that it's made in America (I think.)

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 !
