Handheld Salt Spreader (Or Grass Seed)

Gripping tight control over how and where you lay salt, grit or seed? The Handheld Salt & Grit Spreader gives you that precision without hauling around a big machine. Perfect for driveways, steps, walkways, and smaller scale winter jobs. All year, any season.

Why Use This Handheld Spreader

• Flow control with ease: 6 aperture (hole) settings let you adjust how much material disperses, so you avoid overdoing it or leaving patches untreated.

• Adequate capacity for spot work: Holds up to 4 kg (approx) of salt or grit, making it ideal for targeted areas without constant refilling.

• Built from corrosion-proof plastic: Designed to resist rust or damage from repeated contact with salt, de-icers, and grit. 

• Versatile use: Works with de-icing salt, grit, even grass seed or fertiliser when seasonal needs shift. 

• Manual, spot-spread efficiency: Use when a wheeled spreader is overkill: on steps, narrow paths, entrances or tight spaces. 

When & Where to Use It (and When to Up Your Tool)

Best for:

• Clearing small driveways, walkways, porches or steps

• Patch treating icy areas rather than full lot coverage

• Situations needing precision (edges, around planters, stairs)

• Year-round use (salt in winter, fertiliser / seed in summer)

Not ideal when:

• You must treat large expanses rapidly (use wheeled or vehicle-mounted spreaders)

• You have to cover uneven terrain at speed

• Bulk, continuous spreading is needed — this is for spot work, not mass coverage

Technical Specs & Highlights

• Capacity: ~4 kg salt / grit load

• Flow Settings: 6 aperture options to regulate spread

• Material: Corrosion-resistant plastic (polyethylene or equivalent)

Tips for Best Results

1. Use dry material: damp salt or grit may clog the aperture.

2. Choose the right aperture: smaller holes for light dusting, larger for heavier spread.

3. Sweep the tray first: remove ice, snow, debris so the spreader contacts the surface.

4. Apply evenly: walk at steady pace so distribution is consistent.

5. Clean after use: shake or rinse residual salt out to extend tool life.

6. Store dry, protected: avoid long contact with moisture or full sun that may degrade plastic over time.
