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.
64-OUNCE BOTTLE: high-capacity poly bottle with a wide opening and easy screw top, quickly remove the lid to add your preferred seed, salt, fertilizer, etc. and simply screw back into place
TURF AND SALT: year-round use; for steps, sidewalks and small paths in the winter; grass patches, shaded areas, gardens, and small sections the rest of the year
3 OPENINGS IN LID: twist lid to choose small, large and wide openings; each designed to fit different particulates like ice melt, salt, fertilizer, grass seed, sand and most pelletized products
LARGE HANDLE: easy to grip, scoop and fill; accommodates small and large-sized hands, with or without gloves for use any time of the year
PORTABLE: keep it on a shelf, in a closet or in the car and pull it out when it’s needed; you can even store it with product inside when not in use
Customers find the spreader excellent and good value for money, particularly for spreading granular lawn products around the perimeter. The tool is large enough to cover a large area, and customers appreciate its adjustable openings that accommodate various sized products. They like its convenience, with one customer noting it’s perfect for bare spots in lawns and gardens, and its control features, with one mentioning it can adjust how much comes out. The lid functionality receives mixed reviews – while some say it seals fine, others report it keeps coming loose.
