CRAFTSMAN V20 Handheld Seed & Fertilizer Spreader, 1.2 Gal — 6-Speed, Cordless (Tool Only)

This compact, battery-compatible spreader gives homeowners a fast, accurate way to treat lawn and landscape tasks throughout the year. Designed to work with the V20 battery platform (battery and charger sold separately), the unit balances capacity and portability to help you seed spring lawns, feed turf in summer, and spread salt or ice melt in winter. Adjustable settings let you dial in the output for consistent coverage no matter what material you’re using.

How does the V20 spreader deliver even coverage?

The spreader combines a calibrated tub opening with a variable swath and six speed settings so granules exit consistently. That control reduces clumping and overlap, producing a uniform application across each pass.

• Adjustable swath from 4.5 to 5.7 inches for targeted coverage
• Six speed levels to match walking pace and material flow
• 36 unique spreader combinations for different materials and particle sizes

What size jobs can it handle and how long does one charge last?

With a 1.2-gallon tub the spreader covers up to 5,000 square feet per tub, making it suitable for medium-to-large residential lawns. Runtime depends on battery choice and settings; lighter settings extend coverage, while higher speeds use more runtime.

• 1.2 gallon capacity supports broad coverage without frequent refills
• Up to 5,000 sq ft distributed per tub under standard test conditions
• Runtime varies by V20 battery model, speed setting, and walking speed

Which materials can I apply with this spreader and how adaptable is it?

The V20 Four Season model handles a wide range of granulated and pelleted products, from grass seed and fertilizer to salt and ice melt. Its adjustable door and speed settings help tailor flow for different particle sizes and densities.

• Works with seed, fertilizer, salt, ice melt, and similar granular products
• 36 spreader setting combinations to fine-tune output for each material
• Useful for year-round lawn maintenance and seasonal treatments

How easy is it to use and maintain?

The tool is built for simple, one-handed operation and easy clean-out between jobs. Lightweight design and cordless convenience reduce fatigue, and routine rinsing prevents material buildup in the tub and door.

• Handheld form factor for maneuverability around beds and walkways
• Tool-only package pairs with existing V20 batteries and chargers
• 3-year limited warranty for residential use
