Why People Choose Santa Cruz Shredder

• Patented Tooth Design – Bidirectional, serrated teeth cut (not rip) herbs for a fluffy, even grind that improves burn and vaporization.
• Medical-Grade Aluminum – Aerospace aluminum that’s CNC-milled and then hard-anodized so it won’t chip, flake, or contaminate material.
• Rare-Earth Magnets – Secure, snap-tight lid with an easy, single-hand twist and no accidental spills.
• 4-Piece Layout – Grind tray, sifter screen, and kief catch with rounded, easy-clean corners.
• True Large Capacity – Ideal for group sessions, pre-roll prep, or loading storage jars fast.
• Smooth, Grit-Free Action – Proprietary ring + tolerances prevent metal-on-metal grind or squeak.
• Made for Daily Use – Corrosion-resistant finish, tight tolerances, and a design that shrugs off drops.

How to Use (and Keep It Gliding Like New)

1. Load loosely – break large buds by hand; avoid over-packing.
2. Twist gently – 3–6 turns is usually enough; let the teeth do the work.
3. Tap to settle – flip and tap to move fluffy material through the holes.
4. Collect kief – open the base when you want an extra-potent sprinkle.
5. Quick clean – brush teeth/screen; ISO wipe the threads and walls.

Pro tip: a heated loading tool makes sticky material easier to handle. Pair your grinder with the Puffco Hot Knife for clean, precise transfers.

Care & Troubleshooting

• Sticking or squeak? Brush out teeth/threads. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol and let fully dry before reassembly.
• Screen clogged? Tap gently from below, then brush. For deep cleans, soak the screen section in ISO and rinse.
• Material too powdery? Use fewer turns; this grinder is sharp—stop when pieces are fluffy and even.
