Product Description

Smaller seed-spreading jobs are a snap with Precision’s Handheld Broadcast Spreader. Weighing just more than a pound, the heavy-duty-plastic spreader features an ergonomic handle and holds three pound of grass seed or 6 pounds of pelletized material. Suggested uses include seeding small areas, hills, uneven ground, and wet terrain that don’t suit a tow behind or push spreader. The hopper conveniently doubles as a scoop. Adjusting the flow is as simple as sliding a control, and smooth cranking of the plastic wheel on the side engages the spreader mechanism. Built of heavy-duty plastic for years of use, the HHBS125 comes fully assembled and ready to use — no need to reach for a wrench with this tough little yard tool.

Amazon.com

The packaging on this multipurpose hand spreader boasts it's "the quick and convenient way to spread," which it may very well be; it features three settings, a hopper that holds approximately 6 pounds of fertilizer or ice melt or 3 pounds of seed, and a spread of 6 to 12 feet. However, the heavy plastic hand crank is difficult to turn, so although it may be quick and convenient, it's not top of the line. Nonetheless, for the price (and for those who already have a rolling spreader for large spaces), this device certainly gets the job done.

Likes: compact easy to store size, inexpensive, simple to use. Negatives: requires frequent filling, only use with small granuals, difficult to get even coverage. Only recommend if you have a small lawn. Only used once so far, but I think it will last for years to come.

Used a few times with no problems. Like this type of spreader design over the big drop type. However, I've upgrade to a battery operated design from a different manufacture. New device is one hand operation by push button and easier to get even coverage. Still will keep this one as a back up.

Bought this spreader to use on snow and icy sidewalks and driveway. Good size because if any bigger it would be too heavy once filled with de-over. Works great for fair price!

Great hand spreader but...

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020

When you open the hopper it immediately starts falling out. I use it for fertilizer for the patch between the road and my sidewalk. I feel silly having to get a head start on walking before I open the hopper, but it serves its purpose and spreads fairly even. Couldn't ask for more at this price.

Waste of money and time

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought the spreader thinking this was a good product mainly because of what the seller say's it can do and how could the product is. Well when i went to use the spreader from the first time and no matter what setting you put the spreader on for the flow of fertilizer to spread out the spreader gets stuck and you can not turn the handle. So I tried it again this time with such a small amount that you need to keep putting such a small amount of what your using for the spreader to work that it will take you hours to get the job done. I tried it another day. same thing no matter how much product I put in the spreader it gets stuck. There is no point in using this at all. I had to throw it away. The product detail on how good it is and how it works is no good and did noting but wasted my money

Not worth it.

This thing is not worth the money in my opinion. It works, somewhat. Large bb size 10-10-10 have difficulty going through. The ergonomics are horrendous and when you fill it there’s nothing to help keep it level. POS in my opinion.

Very Sturdy Product

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013

My first one lasted twenty-three years and it was only my heavy hand that broke it; the fact that the manufacturer is still making the same product with virtually the same design is its own testament! Definitely would recommend to a friend!
