Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 2.25" SMART CRUSHER Quality Tobacco Herb Grinder (non-aluminum grinder)
Customer Review: Best for the money.
Summary: 4 Stars
I had trouble deciding on trying my luck on this one or spending seventy dollars on a titanium top-of-the-line grinder at BC. But honestly, no matter how high-quality of a grinder it is I just don't like spending seventy dollars on a grinder. So I tried this one and will list out the pros first:
-First off I ordered it on Thursday, the 1st. It was predicted to arrive between the 7th and 22nd. I got here this morning on the fourth so it was a really speedy delivery. To be expected I guess because it shipped just north in the same state as me.
-The magnet is plenty strong. You can hold it upside-down and shake it and it won't budge. I can even lift the whole thing from just the top part and it will keep hold.
-It annihilates anything you put it! I put a pretty large nug in there, ten seconds of twisting and I opened up to see absolutely nothing left in the top chamber! Very good it's job.
-Good feel, looks nice.
-$30! (including shipping)
Cons-
-It didn't come with a velvet pouch as pictured or as other users said they received in other reviews of this product.
-The screen, as mentioned by other users, is too fine. Almost nothing gets through to the kief chamber.
Overall I would recommend this to a friend. Unless you want to spend an extra forty bucks for those couple perfections. The only con that actually bothers me is that the screen is too fine. And I would have liked that pouch that I thought I was promised when I payed for it.
Customer Review: Better than the SharpStone
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using a 2.5" SharpStone grinder, and this beats it hands down, with a much nicer feel, 24 grinding "nubs" to SharpStone's 12, and also no tight lid leaving aluminum residue around the outer edges after grinding.
Another review gave this only 3 stars, saying that it has a weak magnet, however it works just fine: turn the grinder upside-down and the lid doesn't fall off, even with a bit of shaking. What more does one need?
Also, someone noted that this model's kief screen is too fine to be effective. While it does look that way, I'm finding that it is equal in "production" to the SharpStone.
One complaint that I have with both products is that they require too many turns to tighten the parts together; surely these could have been machined so that a single twist would do the trick, eliminating the need for a fine touch in order to get the pieces together without stripping the threads.
Customer Review: Buy this if you are trying to compare!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this a bit ago thinking that the price is right, but perhaps the quality was going to be on the lacking side. I was wrong! This is a supreme deal for a grinder, since the unit has ALL the features of a nicer much more expensive unit. First, the material it is made of is not just a light aluminum, but it is a heavier alloy that just gives it a nice feel. The grinding action is perfect for creating perfectly smokable or vaporizer ready material, and with the nice built in screen you don't have to worry about losing your precious 'fine material'. The top is magnetic too, and the thing even came with a case! Comparable to a $80 unit in shops, I would highly reccommend this grinder!Customer Review: Chromium Crusher

With an assortment of uses and layers that can unscrew for easy cleaning, this crusher is compact and simple to use, and produces great results. The sifter is genius.Customer Review: Chromium Crusher!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pretty amazing grinder, especially with a price that you CAN NOT beat. The only complaint I've heard about it is that not much pollen is able to collect due to the very fine screen, but to get around this, just put a coin in the middle compartment and give it a shake with your ground herbs. I just started using a quarter, and you get a much better yield, and with the screen being so snug, there's no chance for damage.
Enjoy your freshly ground herbs! You can even vaporize them to add a nice fragrance to your humble abode.
