The speaker highlights that while specialized tools exist (like those from Chapin or Yardworks), successful seed distribution doesn't always require an expensive device; even manual hand-spreading is effective if done with understanding of pattern and coverage.

Goal: Choose an appropriate tool for distributing grass seed.
