Buyers Products SaltDogg WB400 Walk-Behind Drop Spreader, 2.5 cu ft Poly Hopper (200 lb), Stainless Frame/Agitator, 44 in Path, 13 in Pneumatic Tires, Rain Cover & Screen, Made in USA

The spreader drops the salt okay but the flow control is very cheaply made and difficult to use. I also did not receive the clear plastic cover that was supposed to be supplied with the spreader

I would not recommend this product to anyone serious about the quality of their tools. It is already overpriced, but because of the very poorly constructed drop adjustment mechanism, it makes it an even worse deal.

Works great.

This expensive spreader is sturdy, but unfortunately is not well designed for purpose. It often leaves clumps of material (salt or gardening additives) or none at all. The flow control is regulated both at the bottom, by means of a wing-nut fastened plate that restricts the size of the openings, and also to a certain extent by the open/shut control up at the handle. Neither control is particularly reliable.Assuming it worked, there would be a substantial time-savings in using such a wide spreader, but it is cumbersome to use in tighter areas, as well as its being very heavy, even when empty.We are very disappointed, as we hoped that by spending more we would obtain something more reliable than the typical $60-$150 drop spreaders.
