Take a bite out of winter with Chapin’s 1.6-Liter hand crank ice melt spreader. It features a rugged poly scoop with a toothed edge for cutting through ice melt/halite making scooping easy. The thumb-controlled gate adjustment and trigger gate control are designed to handle the ice-melt smoothly, enclosed gears keep debris out. The impeller is designed to provide an even spread pattern. Great for steps, sidewalks and areas a larger spreader can't go. Not recommended with rock salt, sand or sand mixes.
