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. Review: Perfect for spreading seeds, or whatever. I prefer it to other methods. - 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. ## Features - 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 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09C6LR1Q2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,795 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #3 in Lawn & Garden Spreaders | | Bottle Type | Shaker Bottle | | Brand | CHAPIN | | Brand Name | CHAPIN | | Capacity | 1.8 kg | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,933 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00023883087401 | | Included Components | Chapin 8740A: 64-Ounce Black Poly Hand Shaker Spreader for Turf, Fertilizer, Gra | | Item Type Name | Chapin 8740A: 64-Ounce Black Poly Hand Shaker Spreader for Turf, Fertilizer, Gra | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Chapin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8740A | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Hand Shaker Spreader | | Model Number | 8740A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Reusability | Reusable | | Shape | Cylindrical | | Style Name | Hand Shaker | | UPC | 023883087401 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Bottle Type:** Shaker Bottle - **Brand:** CHAPIN - **Capacity:** 1.8 g - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![CHAPIN 8740A 64 oz All-Season Hand Shaker Spreader, Seed, Fertilizer & Salt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fKQepdHlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why is rock salt not recommended for this model?** A: I see no reason rock salt couldn’t be used.

Happy to finally have it! *by M***G on September 11, 2025* I've been eyeballing this for a year, waiting for it to go on sale, scooped it up, and was like whoa!! When I opened the box it was bigger than I expected sturdy plastic, its gonna hold what ever I put in it.. my only thoughts on it, is how much I could struggle with opening it with a winter jacket and Mittens, or even gloves, because I can struggle with it as is now, because of my size and weak fingers. My second thought is of coarse I take care of the products I buy, but my adult men... not so much.. would they be absent minded and whip it here or over there when they needed to put it down or use it as a hammer to dig out cold salt rock or sand in the winter.. yes.. would the plastic break in my hands.. no, would it break in their hands when its cold out.... not sure, but im getting irked just thinking about it, because everyone knows how plastic is in the winter... ill keep you posted after 2025 for sure... Feb. 16, 2026. ... K im back for my update.. so far in new england we've had a few good storms, and very cold ice days were this Shaker was used by myself and my guys, unbestknown to me at the time, but it was fully intact when I inspected it, so 5 stars for holding up! Before the storms hit, I ended up grabbing it and switching it to the front door, where it sat inside the warm house, yeah I know.. I should have left it in the back hall in the freezing cold just to see how it held up, but I just didn't want to chance it have everyone touching it before I could try it out myself, especially hearing about how the other one was used to get the salt rock up onto the roof, I was glad this was safe and far away from his hands. But I noticed I did have some good quality shaking problems with the salt I grabbed from the dpw yard.. you know that real clunky stuff.. it would get stuck between the biggest opening, irritating, but not too bad. Twisting it off, originally I thought id struggle, but with Bulky jacket and Mittens using all that material I didn't have a problem twisting off the top to refill. I dont have much else to add, except I was happy to have it, glad no one decided to use it to break ice like they did out back and im thinking the front of the house is where it should stay, that way I can enjoy it for along time, because its a real nice item I like it a lot, if that does change ill definitely post another update here! ## 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.gr/products/359507012-chapin-8740a-64-oz-all-season-hand-shaker-spreader-seed](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/359507012-chapin-8740a-64-oz-all-season-hand-shaker-spreader-seed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
