## Overview

The Chapin 8740A Shaker Spreader is a lightweight, manual turf spreader with a 4 lb capacity and a max spread width of 3 feet. Featuring multiple adjustable openings and an ergonomic handle, it’s designed for precise application of ice melt, fertilizer, and grass seed on small outdoor areas. Its scoop-to-fill design and versatile use make it an essential tool for efficient year-round lawn and walkway care.

## 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: 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 !
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.)

## Features

- Easily scoop-to-fill design

- Ideal for steps, sidewalks and small landscape areas
