Santa Cruz Shredder – Best 4-Piece Grinder

The SCS is, in my opinion, one of the best-engineered grinders that you can buy. It’s made in the USA, uses an innovative technique to “shred” herb, and never sticks or catches on anything. It shreds everything without a problem.

The Santa Cruz Shredder grinder offers a nice “knurled” grip making it easier to rotate the grinder, and strong “high tech” magnets to keep your herbs safe during storage. If you want the technical term, the SCS grinder uses “Neodymium Diametrically Magnetized Cylindrical Rare Earth Magnets.” The magnets are “Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple layer coated for maximum durability and protection against abuse & corrosion.”

The precise engineering combined with the strong magnets helps to prevent your herbs from drying out and can even help cut down on odors. It’s still going to smell, but it does help slightly. My personal favorite (of the Santa Cruz shredders) is the Large 4-Piece Santa Cruz Shredder because I like to throw a little kief on the top of a bowl every now and then.

I recommend the SCS for convection-type vaporizers because it produces a coarser type of grind. This type of grind performs better with convection-type vaporizers because the herbs are not as condensed and allow for more airflow.

SCS Tip: You could get away with using this type of grinder for other portables if you flip it upside down and re-grind the material.
