This is a very well designed tool, and it's helping me get much more mileage out of my salt supply (which is being consumed by this New England winter we're having).When I first read that it holds 10 lbs. of salt, I thought that was not enough, but I was wrong -- it's just the right amount. That weight lets you shake and spread the salt easily.In the past, anything I tried (including flinging the salt by hand) proved to be inaccurate and wasteful. I'd get little piles of salt right next to bare spots. And I'd end up using way more than was necessary (basically, just from putting down too much trying to cover the bare spots).With this, I get a very even spread very easily from the start, and every pound of salt is obviously a) covering more square feet than before and b) leaving no bare spots.This is particularly important for my 50 foot driveway. It's packed gravel, which "eats" salt much faster than pavement. If I can't get the right spread much of my salt will be wasted, then I'll run out, Home Depot won't have any left, etc. I've found that, if I just focus on the two tire tracks, I can get the driveway done with this device in about 15 minutes, and it takes me about seven or eight refills at most (about two 40 lb. bags) to get a nice, dense coating that cuts through the snow and ice and keeps working for days on the gravel. Very gratifying!My only concern: the top is hinged on two sides (with a split down in the middle of the top) and the "hinges" are actually just molded plastic. So, you're bending plastic over and over again each time you open it and I wonder how long that will last. But I've opened it dozens of times with no actual signs of wear, so I'm not going to worry about it.Simple, reliable device that just works and is very easy to use.

We had a lot of snow this winter and a lot of days where it snowed, then was warm, and then freezing cold again.....making for a lot of slippery ice. This little item really helped ALOT with spreading salt evenly. Spreading the salt evenly with something like this makes it a lot more effective than simply throwing handfuls of it. What happens when you throw it randomly is it tends to clump together unevenly. Some areas have too much salt and others not enough. You get stubborn patches of unmelted ice plus salt piles people step in and drag into the house. This device solves that problem cheaply and efficiently. It's very good and spreading the salt evenly...which is a lot more effective and the salt goes further when you have to cover large areas. I found it especially effective with calcium salt (which is expensive but worth it), particularly on thick, hard to remove patches of ice. I actually purchased a propane ice melter this year and didn't use it once because this cheap device was so effective with the salt.

It arrive broken. The plastic is clearly not meant for this usage. I will not purchase anything like it again. Horrible Horrible Horrible

I was skeptical at first but this let me lay down a nice even layer of salt with no piles and without having to throw it by hand so I'm very happy. You just open the top like a clamshell and pour in your salt. Then you twist the bottom to the rate you want it to fall and you walk around lightly shaking it. I moved it in a twisting/shaking way and it did my drive-way and sidewalk nicely without throwing a lot into the lawn and without dropping clumps.It was well worth the couple of dollars I spent on it.

Works well for sidewalks. It's a bit cumbersome and I wish the setting for how much comes out was marked clearer and worked more smoothly. It's difficult to fine tune. I still use a cup and bucket for the driveway - used to play softball and I can get even coverage on that large area, but for the sidewalks, this works better.

Worked well and was easy to use. You can regulate the amount of rock salt that is dispersed.

This is a little pricey but works great and makes dispensing the product stupid proof. My child can dispense it without clumping the stuff and creating hot spots that damage the cement.

Highly recommended!Purchased to salt paths and small car park outside office during icey spells.Works brilliantly and so much easier than using a shovel or by hand.You have to shake your hand up and down or twist back and fourth and it evenly distributes salt while walking.Well worth it.

Produit pour disperser le sel que ce soit sur la route ou dans des mauvaises herbes. Très bien. Solide mais je trouve le produit un peu cher pour du plastic dur.

Much better than scooping salt back and forth to a bin or from a heavy pail.

I bought this in anticipation of it snowing this winter but it has not done so yet.I have given it a "dry run" with a salt grit mix with the largest opening selected, I also tried it with some sand I had left over from the drive blocks.So far my only concern is that the hinges that open the top are not really hinges but a thinner bit of plastic and I am not sure how these will stand up to much use. If you want one of these search for the best price as they vary tremendously for the same item from the same manufacturer.I will update this review when/if I use it in anger.

Too much comes off the shaker also if you have adjusted to very small. The plastic hinge part is no good it breaks easy had to duct tape it. Not worth for $110. Should be made stronger & less price for plastic
