Customers are overwhelmingly satisfied with this handheld spreader, praising its precision control, lightweight design, and exceptional versatility.

The 5-lb hopper capacity and battery-powered convenience make yard work manageable, even for extended periods. Reviewers consistently describe it as well-made and durable, with reliable performance across seasons. A few note occasional material jamming with certain prill types, but nearly all consider it a superior replacement for bulky manual spreaders.

Great little 5lb spreader.
Would RecommendPerfect spreader for small to medium sized areas. We do not have a big front yard so I have no need for one of the larger push style spreaders. I already have Craftsman tools and with this being on sale it was a no brainer to scoop it up. This thing works flawlessly with grass seed and fertilizer. I like the dual adjustment for the door opening on the bottom and for the mixing speed for agitator to keep everything flowing. Even with 5lbs of seed inside it's still easy to carry and use. Eve...

Ditch the push spreader and pull the trigger
Would RecommendThis product spreads like no other! The feed selector is easy to use and understand. The hopper is just large enough that is holds a decent amount of product without being too over weighted. I used this to spread grass seed and when you kick the dial up to high, it felt like it was being tossed into another county!!!! I can't wait to see what it does for ice melt, but for grass seed and fertilizer, it beats hand tossing or pushing a spreader around

Nice spreader

Great for small yards
Would RecommendI bought this to replace a hand crank version of a similar spreader and the powered version is much easier to use because it does not keep doping fertilizer when you stop and is much more consistent in the spread.

CRAFTSMAN Handheld Spreader
Would RecommendEasy, compact and ready to use in a few minutes. Better than the old big spreaders that take up much more room.

Good spreader.
Would RecommendDoes what it states—it spreads whatever you put on it. I like it a little bit better than the push style ones mostly because I am tall and those have low handles.

Great Automatic Spreader, better with small prill
Would RecommendThe automatic spreader is great. I did run into issue with sta green 20-0-0 as the prills would occasionally get stuck under the spinning disc. Easy enough to manually spin to remove but annoying to take away 1 star. Smaller prills worked fine
