Chapin Salt and Ice Melt Spreader
Best high-capacity spreader for homeowners managing icy winter driveways.
This heavy-duty spreader turns the chore of de-icing into a quick, mindless task. Its massive capacity and spiked auger mean you won't be stopping to unclog salt or refill the hopper constantly, though its larger footprint does require a bit more storage space in your garage.
