Chapin’s 8740A 64-ounce hand shaker is available for year-round use. It’s not limited to salt and ice melt. You can use this from spring to fall for seed and fertilizers and throughout winter for salt, ice melt and sand. Our 8740A hand shaker spreader is designed to go in areas where a standard spreader can’t go. It easy to operate with one hand, with or without gloves. There’s less wear parts and simple twist to change openings based on your material. You can even store it with ice melt, salt, seed or fertilizer in it and it stands upright on a shelf.

Bought this for four of the men in my family. My husband used to use a solo cup. The guys love this handy salt spreader.

I picked up the Chapin hand shaker spreader to manage our lawn care and winter salting tasks, and it's been a solid addition to my gardening toolkit. The 64-ounce capacity holds enough product for small jobs without constant refilling, and the wide opening with an easy screw top makes adding seeds or salt super straightforward. What I love most is the three different opening sizes; I switch from fine grass seed to coarse ice melt without breaking a sweat. Its large grip handle is comfortable, fitting my hands well even when wearing gloves—definitely designed with user comfort in mind.On the downside, I did notice that it can feel a bit flimsy when fully loaded; gentle handling goes a long way here. Ultimately, it’s portable enough to toss in the car or store on a shelf, making it convenient for spontaneous yard work days. For the price, it’s hard to argue against its value—just be mindful of its durability when handling heavier products. Perfect for families wanting efficient lawn maintenance without spending a fortune!

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.

I like this cheap handheld option for spreading grass seed. I only needed it for patches, so I didn’t want to get a large spreader that’s more expensive and takes up space in my garage just to sit there 99% of the time. This is large enough to not have to make a ton of trips back to the bag yet small enough to sit on a shelf in the garage. The adjustments will also make it easy to spread rock salt during the winter. It’s thick and study plastic so I’m not worried about it breaking on me. Good purchase

This is perfect for places in my yard I needed to overseed. It was also great for scattering fertilizer for my roses. Made out of very tough material, three easy to adjust holes for the right size of product being used. I fully recommend this seeder!

Works great for applying grass seed in damaged areas in the lawn. Now I have to find my golf clubs (they're missing for some reason)

Such a great, handy tool!! Strong and durable, with plenty of dispensing options according to the particle size. No more struggling to pour salt, etc, out of large heavy bags. The scoop is fairly long, so a small bag of salt, seed, etc is more difficult to fit the scoop into to fill it, so you might have to pour from a small bag to fill the scoop. Regardless, it's a great spreading tool and has a very comfortable handle. So easy to evenly spread whatever you need to spread!!
