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: Great for Use With Ice-Melter - 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: Great for lawn fertilizer without a bulky spreader - I've used this for fertilizer and Revive on the lawn, and it's been great for those jobs. It's a simple, useful tool that has worked really well for my lawn-care needs. The small size is a big plus. It takes up much less storage space than a traditional walk-behind broadcast spreader, which I appreciate when putting everything away. If you want a compact hand shaker for lawn applications, I've been really happy with this one. ## Features - Easily scoop-to-fill design - Multiple openings to apply large and small particulate - Ideal for steps, sidewalks and small landscape areas - For use with ice melt, fertilizer, grass seed and most pelletized products - Handle designed to accommodate small and large hands, with or without gloves.Rock salt is not recommended with this model ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09C6LR1Q2 | | Brand | CHAPIN | | Brand Name | CHAPIN | | Capacity | 1.8 g | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,891 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00023883087401 | | Included Components | Chapin 8740A: 64-Ounce Black Poly Hand Shaker Spreader for Turf, Fertilizer, Gra | | Item Type Name | Spot Spreader | | Item Weight | 318 g | | Manufacturer | Chapin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8740A | | Material | Grass | | Material Type | Grass | | Model Name | Hand Spot Spreader | | Model Number | 8740A | | Model name | Hand Spot Spreader | | Number of Items | 1 | | Reusability | Reusable | | Style Name | Shaker Spreader | | UPC | 023883087401 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CHAPIN - **Capacity:** 1.8 g - **Colour:** Black - **Material:** Grass - **Model name:** Hand Spot Spreader ## Images ![Shaker Spreader for Turf Salt, Load Capacity 4 lb, Max.

I prefer it to other methods. *by M***3 on 20 July 2026* OK, I've got the push spreader. However, this is so, so much easier to use and easy to clean. Material is sturdy, solid plastic which has held up and cleaned up well. Easy to store because doesn't take up lots of room like traditional spreaders. Perfect for spreading seeds, or whatever. I prefer it to other methods. It's great. Love the simple, classic design. Highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chapin 8740A: 64-Ounce Black Poly Hand Shaker Spreader for Turf, Fertilizer, Grass Seed, Salt and Sand, Year-Round Use, Large Grip Handle with 3 Openings for Pellets and Particles - Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Thrives in Many Conditions, 5.6 lbs. - Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3, Weed Killer Plus Lawn Fertilizer, Controls Dandelion and Clover, 5,000 sq. ft., 14.29 lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/359504646-shaker-spreader-for-turf-salt-load-capacity-4-lb-max](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/359504646-shaker-spreader-for-turf-salt-load-capacity-4-lb-max) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
