I swear by this thing. It is my go-to when correcting dead or patchy spots including dog urine burns. You can use it on existing grass as it will generally till the area while keeping the living grass interact.
Generally speaking this is for spot corrections and smaller areas (up to 100 sq feet.) I've used it on up to 300-500 sq feet but you'd better be prepared for a workout if you want to tackle anything at that size.

Does he have any gardening equipment to add to the mix? I've heard that a Weed Eater can do some real damage.
...and no one is gonna mess with a man wielding a Garden Weasel.
If the spots where you are trying to reseed are large enough I would recommend trying to break up the top layer of soil. This will disturb or breakup the preemergent layer and allow for better seed germination. A product like this is great for tilling small areas. Good luck!
I like to leverage the body contact side of things, as such the bottom part of the harden weasel is probably the most unusual one I have for mine.
Fluorescent tubes are also quite fun as well.
If it is an old septic tank, you should be able to map out its dimensions with a soil probe like this one: Bully Tools 99203 Soil Probe Steel Tstyle Handle, 48_inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KOMTJ7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q4a2CbHZX0AK1
If you can’t , then panicking is always an option.

I like to get them out of the pot, knock off what soil I can and gently squeeze the root ball at first, then use a pencil on smaller plants to kind of gently take out the roots, on larger plants I will use a small hand rake type of thing or something like this https://www.amazon.com/Mumusuki-Stainless-Tweezers-Farming-Ergonomical/dp/B07TX84BS3/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=bonsai+tools&qid=1569519652&s=lawn-garden&sprefix=bonsai&sr=1-5 but a pencil or chopstick is fine. Just take your time and go slow and try not to break too many roots
I'm in Clayton. Had similar results to you OP. Seeded on 10/5 with GCI TTTF blend, but had bad seed to soil contact in some areas. I did a second reseed yesterday. Spread the seed with a rotary spreader, mixed it in to the dirt with a garden weasel cultivator (linked below), then covered with a thin layer of topsoil. This upcoming week looks like great weather for seed germination in our area.
