How to use a Crank Grinder

Using these manual grinders is extremely straightforward. Simply load with your dry herbs or tobacco mix of choice, replace the lid, and turn the grinder handle to start the grinding process.The ground herbs will fall through and collect in the grinders storage compartment. Many 4-piece hand grinders also come with a kief catcher (or pollen catcher) compartment, as well as a plastic pollen scraper tool.

Are Crank Grinders a good option?

Hand crank grinders are much easier to use than a traditional grinder, delivering perfectly ground herbs every time - this is especially useful if you are using your herbs for vaping. Finely ground herbs vaporize much better compared to when they are broken up by hand which can often result in dense clusters that don't vape particularly well.

Can a Crank Grinder crush Trichomes?

Trichomes produce the cannabinoids such as THC and CDB, giving the cannabis plant its amazing qualities. Therefore, over-grinding can reduce the potency of the herb.
