Features

  • 1.6-LITER (0.3-GALLON) HOPPER: large poly hopper with tooth-edge; you can easily scoop ice melt/halite to fill the hopper instead of pouring in product, quick with less mess or waste
  • THUMB-CONTROL GATE ADJUSTMENT: adjust the gate opening with one hand while still cranking the handle and spreading with the other; you dont need to stop and adjust the gate, you can just keep on walking and the impeller is designed to deliver an even spread pattern
  • LARGE HANDLE: easy to grip and fill with one hand; accommodates small and large-sized hands and the easy-crank handle is large enough to grip if youve got gloves on
  • POLY CONSTRUCTION: its lightweight and easy to clean; less metal means less wear and tear and corrosion, poly is protected from ice melt/halite and other harsh winter particles
  • PORTABLE: keep it on top of your ice melt bucket or on a shelf, store it in a cabinet when not in use or keep it in your trunk; it doesnt take up much space and you can pull it out when you need it
  • IDEAL FOR SMALL SPACES AND QUICK FIXES: use on sidewalks, walkways, stairs, around vehicles and smaller areas where larger spreaders cant go
  • *NOTE: not recommended for use with rock salt, sand or sand mixes

  • Works great with small granules. NOT rock salt.
As a maintenance mechanic at a hospital, we maintain the helipad & sidewalks in winter. The icemelt we use at the hospital works great in this spreader! It throws out a wide 45° right to 45° left area. It covers the area with a nice even consistent blanket. The hand crank is enclosed so it doesn't get dust build up or granules lodged in the gears. ... show more

  • Not impressed, disappointed
First time I used this product it broke. I loaded it up with salt to spread around my driveway and went to work. Within the first 30 seconds it was stiff to move the handle. The handle was the first thing to break. I had already loaded it up with salt so I tried to move the handle around without the peg and it was very stiff. Mind you this brand new, not clumpy salt. When I continued to try and spread the salt, the handle would get stuck and not move. I continued to try and loosen the handle by moving the spreader disc and it wasn’t budging. Eventually after trying to rotate the handle the mechanism that connects the handle to the spreader wheel broke and the handle spun freely without moving the spreader disc completely making the device unusable. Disappointed in the quality. I live in Montana where I need a dependable device like this. Unfortunately I was hoping this would be it. ... show more

  • Saves on salt with a nice even spread, but limits your salt options.
Pros - - Gives a nice even spread, makes you realize how much you're using more salt then you have to when you're spreading by hand. - Small, and is designed to be shoved right into a bucket of salt. Cons - - Right handed only. If you're a lefty, this is going to be a bit awkward to use. More than you think. - The spreader mechanism is pretty small, so if you're going to use this, you're not going to be able to use some of the chunkier (and usually cheaper) salt out there. I found that in my area, the only salt that worked reliably with it was the most expensive salt they carried at anyplace around me. It would work alright with some other salts, but would jam, and the jams are pretty difficult to get out. If you're used to buying the formed pellet salt, as opposed to the more rough cut stuff, there aren't really any issues with this, it works great when it works, and the lefty thing... well that comes with being a lefty. If you're looking to save money, and part of why you wanted to get this was to use less salt, you're going to spend more on upgrading to the fancy salt then you save by reducing waste. ... show more

  • Nope
I am a homeowner (Non Commercial) and I have been looking for a descent hand held salt spreader for quite sometime. The walk behinds are too expensive for what they do. There just really doesn't seem to be anything on the market aside from a sturdy plastic cup. Regular seed spreaders (like scotts) jamb with the larger ice melt crystals. They get stuck under the spinning wheel or clog up at the top and fail to feed down to the spreader wheel. These items the auger/agitator in the tub is too small and not sufficient. I thought this could be the answer. It has good size and a hand crank but the agitator is small and plastic attached via plastic to the plastic post on the spreader wheel. This broke on the first use and it hasn't worked since. Back to the hand held bucket and cup. ... show more
