Fertilizing insecticide granules
Cut my time fertilizing insecticide in half easy to put on easy to walk with, but I do recommend wearing a apron sometimes does get on your shirt and pants.

POOR DESIGN/FUNCTIONALITY
If you're a lawn/pest tech no need reading any further. I tried this item after issues with the Solo chest spreaders but it has its own issues. I recommend neither of them. With this one:1. The directional disk also turns when you slide the lever that opens/closes the gate, rather than remain where you selected.2. When spinning the handle to distribute fertilizer, its not a smooth operation, instead it's a rough grinding operation3. The distributor disk as designed causes a ton of the fertilizer to fall close to you and less of it fanning out further away from you even when you turning the handle rapidly4. Push to open/Pull to close is personally easier to operate and this is the opposite5. Distributor disk gets stuck frequently during operation due to fertilizer getting under it6. Very difficult to clean the agitator area inside the hopper when dust from fertilizer builds up, due to the access being in front rather than top (at first sight I liked the idea of front-load).7. Forget about using to fertilize narrow strips or edges along concrete, too much wasteNot sure where to look to now because I will not go back to Solo because of their issues

Great for pitched terrain!
It makes casting fertilizer much easier on steep banks and uneven ground where a rolling a cart just doesn’t work.

decent product
It works well enough for me. It is able to get the job done. It's a lot better than a few of the other brands that I've tried.

Great quality
This is a high quality product. It is easy to maintain spread rates. I would recommend this if you require a nice spreader.

Does what it says, but uncomfortable to wear.
I guess if I were 5'5", it would be ok - but I'm 6'4" and not a beanpole. This thing is damned uncomfortable to wear - I actually ended up having to make a strap extender for it, to keep it from riding right under my chin. For the price, it needs to come with a longer, more adjustable strap for those of us who aren't petite flowers.

Narrow broadcast
This is a marginal product at best. The handle sticks some but the bigger issue for me is with the width of the broadcast. I am spreading rye grass and can only get it to spread a 6 to 7 foot pattern. My old sack spreader doubled that before it broke. Maybe a positive would be that you will get more exercise because you have to walk a lot more to cover the same area.
