Proudly made in the USA and backed by a 2-year warranty, this spreader is engineered for efficient, reliable winter maintenance. ## Description Designed for residential use, Chapin’s 81008A 80-pound residential salt/ice melt spreader has a weather-resistant poly hopper to fill with your preferred ice melt, halite or small particulates.
