Got myself a new grinder a few days ago so thought i might do a review of it so far. my first ever review of something so be nice lol.


Smart crusher 2.5" 4pc grinder with keif catcher

got this grinder from a good auction site a few days ago for £19.50 including shipping. been using it for 2 days now and im loving it so far :)

first of the shipping seemed pretty good, arrived in scotland within 5 days from USA. now i dont order much from US but that seemed decent to me. was packed nicely to.

the grinder itself is made from aluminum, ive read mixed reviews on aluminum grinder, some say its bad as aluminum shavings make their way into your herb, others say if you clean your grinder out properly before use it will be fine. i decided to take a punt on the aluminum lol.
it seems to be machined well, no loose shavings or metal rubbing/grinding together, feels sturdy and has nice sharp teeth (17 on lid 12 on base).
the magnet on lid is strong to, there is also a teflon ring on the grind compartment to stop metal rubbing together, gives it a nice smooth action.
the mesh compartment seems solid aswell, it seems to be built into the grinder rather than glued on like some cheaper versions (like £19.50 aint cheap lol). cant really comment on its keif catching abilities yet as its only 2 days old. comes with a little tiny scraper to collect it though.


not much of a review i know, hopefully pictures will make up for it ha..........

I have the exact same one. I live in the US though so it was a lot cheaper for me. Unfortunately I lost the scoop so I just use my knife. I do love it and it's the best grinder around out of all of my friends.

Nice review man!
It does seem to have lifted a lit of kief though (thanks to whoever pointed that out!)
I have a similar one, came with the same wee shovel thing too; I use it ALL the time, its a brilliant wee tool!

Haha class, a mate of mine always offers his grinder to anyone who's about to roll and with that much kief from just 3 spliffs I can't blame him!
Nice review, gotta get me one of those, the one I have is so full of resin I could scrape an eight of thc from it haha :p

...If you use the grinder upside down , the kief wont fall thru and will stay with the bud .

I have one similar to this but a different brand... The kief falling through isn't an issue for me still more than enough crystals on the bud to get high :) The only issue I have is that after about a year of daily use the mesh get's really clogged up and I'm lucky if I get 0.1g from a half ounce of nice bud. Plus a lot of the crystals start to form little hash clumps around the metal frame of the grinder... I tried peeling them off once with a blade but it scratches the grinder and you end up with little metal shavings in the hash which I don't really think is advisable to smoke lol

Get 500ml of ISO & throw it & your grinder into a suitable bowl for 20 mins... take out grinder, shake & clean with kitchen towel.... job done :)

But that would waste all the crystal build up that I can't smoke anyway ;)

Might give that a try actually, good shout! was just looking at new ones on ebay to buy.

Well... funny you should mention that! It becomes a suspension in the ISO, evaporate the ISO & purge the oil you have left & then smoke it as oil :) - or just dump the ISO!
