Important Considerations In Buying Herb Grinders

By Lisa Kelly


Many people look for grinders that they can use for their herbs, weed, or marijuana. But there are many of these people who do not know how to look for high quality ones that do not endanger their health. Truth be told, those that you see in gas stations or head shops may not be as reliable as they seem because they can be dangerous.

Even when there is a huge variety of grinders that you can choose from, it is important that you thoroughly know the things that need to be considered when you want to purchase one. Much information about herb grinders such as material, value, and ability should be considered. The list below will provide you with some tips to follow so that you choose the best one for you.

There are three materials that a shredder can be made out of, wood, plastic, and metal. There are many advantages and disadvantages for all types of materials and it is up to you to determine which one suits you. Keep in mind that it is inconvenient for you to buy something because of its looks or because it is cheap.

The teeth of most acrylic grinders are made out of the same material which can break easily, while the ones in wood are mostly made of nails which can rust overtime. The teeth on metal ones are mostly made of aluminum and sometimes, are coated with titanium. Consider choosing one with the most durable teeth as it will be one of the many factors that can affect the quality of grounded herb.

Teeth come in many different shapes, sizes, as well as the number that a grinder can have. Most have as little as 25 to more than 50 teeth with a diamond shaped pattern. Because this is the part which does all the work, its important you choose which is the most effective when it comes to grinding your stuff.

The next thing that comes close to the teeth are hole patterns on the crusher. Most grinders would commonly have a circular hole pattern although others may also have a different one, such as an oval shaped pattern. These holes serve as the entry way for the crushed herb to go to the second compartment so pick one which minimizes the possibility of having improperly ground herb on your product.

You should also check for magnets on the lid of both compartments which composes the grinder. This is because there is a tendency for the lids to pop off while grinding which may spill the herb, so the magnets will be vital in keeping them together. Look for one with strong magnets that are also strongly attached so as to keep them from becoming loose in the long run.

One also needs to look at the design of the shredder. Choose one that not only fits your lifestyle, but also has a design that makes the task easier. Most have come up with innovations such as removable screens for easier cleaning as well as handles or finger placements for easier grip.

And even when they seem little, extras such as pollen scrapers or bags that come along the tool is also something you need to take note of. Choose ones that comes with a couple scrapers for extra in case you lose the first one you have been using. Bags will not only help you carry the equipment everywhere but also protects it from being dents or scratches especially when not in use.
