Handheld Salt And Fertilizer Spreader That's Easy For Kids To Use  

Published 10/06/2025

Question:

Can kids or teens use the Meyer ME83FR easily? I’m trying to get my son to help with the sidewalks this winter.

That’s a great idea, Nicole - the Meyers handheld spreader # ME83FR is lightweight just a few pounds empty and the hand-crank design is easy for most people to handle. Just remind him to keep the hopper less than full so it’s easier to control, and avoid over-cranking so the salt doesn’t fly too far. It’s a great way to make winter chores a team effort.

Do you usually use bulk salt or bagged pellets? That’ll help fine-tune how smoothly it flows for him. Anyone else have younger helpers using theirs?
