Is this grinder any good???

[Rapidfire187]

What's up guys? I've been wanting to buy a grinder for a while, and now that I've learned more about kief, I've decided to get one. I found this collection on a site, for a good price but it looks plastic and I want to make sure that plastic ones are of atleast decent quality.

Has a kief collector, which is my main purpose for wanting a grinder..

looks like a nice one... plastic is fine as long as it is good quality

just eyeball your grindings, make sure no pieces of plastic wind up in it ... maybe buy a color that will stand out from the herb ... :jointsmile:

My buddy has one of those, sometimes a little bit of weed gets caught on the rim between the outside but thats really the only downside. Oh, and theres this one part while grinding that the green can go where its not grinded (right in the middle) and it kind of piles up there, but you can easily just move it back to a regular spot.

Pretty good over all and catcher works nicely.

I prefer the metal ones.

Don't but a piece of plastic that you can't touch first. Cheap plastic grinders will lose spikes in your herb. I use a plastic grinder myself. But I bought mine at the store and was able to feel the good strength of the plastic I was buying. I was able to check if the spikes were molded in well. Unless you can hold it before you buy, Go with killerweed and buy metal.

Zcomp is right. The plastic will brake off. Get the metal one.. I have 1 and nothing has broken yet!

I've not used a plastic kief grinder before, but I own 2 or 3 plastic grinders of all different brands.
Never have I had a problem with the acrylic "grinder teeth" falling out, The one way they would "fall out" is if you were to smash it with a fucking hammer, not by grinding herb.
It's the grinders with pins as the teeth you have to watch out for.

Once used a plastic grinder, sold it right away. My previous was a plastic with metal knives. Now I have a small metal one. It's the greatest. Thinking of getting a kief-grinder soon.

Funny you should mention the pins. Thats exactly what I have. And exactly what I was referring to. The pins, Not the little pyramid's is what breaks(usually on a twig).
Except the one I have... Its heavier than any other I've had. And for 2 yrs now its been used for grinding herb and twigs. Its so strong that I scrape off the jammed kief without even scratching the plastic.
