I've got a large 3" 4-piece Mendo Mulcher with kief catcher, but removing the grind plate is very difficult with the lid on.

I also have a small Brilliant Cut grinder, but they don't have an option for a catcher, which I sort of prefer.

How is the Santa Cruz Shredder? What is everyone else using, besides sissors or quarters in medicine bottles?

It is pricey, but here is the last grinder you will ever need to buy.

I have had mine for years, and have zero regrets.

I own one. I'd love one with a kief catcher, but it's not an option. I was hoping for similar alternatives.

I have been mulling this for a while, and I think I hqve concluded that the keif catcher just adds unnecessary work.

Mixing keif into normal doses has always been better for me, compared to a straight keif bowl. As such, i have little interest in seperating it from the rest of the flower anymore. I get better results just having it a part of the mix.

So imo, keif catching is a sub par practice that results in degraded results.

Edit- keif / kief

Yep, I have one - the teeth hold a strong point, and the strong magnetic core is handy to hold dosing capsules while loading individual ones for my Rogue/Edge capsules.

Mine has held up a LONG time and still looks great despite wear/tear. My Santa Cruz Shredder didn't hold up half as well

Came here to mention them. Daily use for 3 years and only had to clean it once. Never got stuck
