hand spreader fertilizer

Listed capacities range from about 0.5–0.6 gallon up to roughly 2.3 liters (about 77.8 ounces), depending on the model.

Broadcast distances listed include about 5 feet and 10.5 feet. Some units also include edge-control features to keep product off non-lawn areas.

Handheld spreaders are typically made of plastic—often described as impact-resistant or durable—and commonly include ergonomic handles and twist-off lids for easy refilling.

Handheld spreaders are shown for year-round use: spreading grass seed and fertilizer in warmer seasons and dispensing salt or ice melt for de-icing in winter.

Some handheld models are described as holding enough product to cover up to about 2,500 square feet, though coverage varies by model and product used.

At least one handheld model lists a one-touch control and up to 23 spreader settings; some models also include edge-control technology to help manage application placement.

Edge-control technology helps limit spread onto non-lawn areas. Adjustable spreader settings and shorter broadcast distances (for example, about 5 feet) let you fine-tune where product lands.
