Better than the SharpStone
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.
Buy this if you are trying to compare!
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!
What are people QQing about???
This thing is excellent, yet people are crying about it? I do not understand...
The reality of the matter is:
Extremely sturdy construction, nice and SOLID with a bit of weight to it. I don't know about anyone else but when I buy metal stuff, I want some weight. I don't know why this matters to me... Regardless, it's solid.
It grinds perfectly, no "big chunks" left behind as one user commented. Not sure if they're doing it wrong or what but I have not had a single problem with the grind quality.
As for the room this thing contains -- another complaint by more than one user -- how much room do you need? I mean, unless you are lung cancer waiting to happen, there is plenty of room for the grinder to pack one, maybe two fairly large pipes in a single grind. Don't be lazy and do a second grind if you have to. Who stashes their herb in their grinder, anyhow?
Anyway, great product, I love it, looks sweet, and you can get the...
