I'm a 71 year old woman who takes care of a small lawn (front and back) at my home. My old spreader was much too big when I moved into my present home, and it was getting harder and harder for me to maneuver with arthritic hands and back. When I saw the Snap Spreader I thought it would be perfect for me....and joy of joys, I IS! Light weight, easy to use and store, and the products help make my little place look fabulous with green healthy grass! Love it!
