Important Considerations In Buying Herb Grinders

By Lisa Kelly


Several weed, marijuana, and herb enthusiasts look for the perfect shredders they can use for their hobby. However, many of these people are also not very much well informed that there are several dangers that come along purchasing ones that are not of high quality. Many choose to buy those sold in head shops or gasoline stations without realizing that they may be harmful for their health.

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.

Of course, the first that you need to take note of is the material from which it is made of. The most common ones are made of plastic, wood, and metal. There are a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages that come along the material so it is important that you do your homework and research on those to be aware rather than just choosing by aesthetic or price.

One of the most important parts of a shredder is its teeth as it is the one responsible for all the work. Plastic crushers have teeth made of plastic, woods commonly have nails, while metals commonly have aluminum. Choose the one with the most durable teeth that will not break or rust easily so as to get value for your money and to avoid contamination on the ground product as this are dangerous.

Another thing that has something to do with its teeth is its size, shape, as well as the number that one has. Most would have 25 to 50 sets of teeth in a diamond shape, the shape which is the most commonly used. When looking for a grinder, find one that has many of these because the more that there is placed, the better the grinding of the herb will be.

The holes on a shredder allow the ground herb to drop or fall into the second compartment. Many brands utilize circular hole pattern, while there are those who use other patterns such as oval shaped holes. What you need to remember in choosing one is to look for the pattern which would allow only the completely ground material to fall into the second compartment.

Shredder lids should also have magnets on them, although there may also be others that will not. Ensure that you choose a shredder with properly attached magnets on both lids so as to prevent them from popping off. When shredding, there is a tendency for both the lids to come off and cause spillage which is why its vital to choose one that is sturdy.

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.

Finally, its also important that one considers the extras that may come when they purchase such like a scraper or a pouch. There are a great deal of manufacturers that have included pouches for protection as well as to make it easier for one to carry the device easier while some have included extra scrapers. Choose one which includes useful extras so you do not have to buy them individually yourself.
