    A: Hi, the approximate assembly time for the Chapin 8201A 80 lb. Residential Salt Spreader is 5-10 minutes. The only assembly required is bolting the handle in place with the provided nuts and bolts and threading the auger to the shaft inside of the hopper.

    Can't use it with rock salt no thanks

    5 months ago
    Remember if you could assemble it yourself do that I bought one that was pre-assembled because they assemble them at the store it was missing the sifting grate, cover and one of the augers and when I mentioned it to one of the team members they swore up and down that none of the things that were missing were included in the Box and of course there was none to exchange and it is for ice melt or pellets not rock salt rock salt will not go through it because the construction of it won't allow rock salt to flow through it so if you're getting it to use for rock salt you might as well forget it for the price of it in my experience I had I don't recommend it you're better off with a bucket and half of milk jug

    No, I do not recommend this product.
