Stainless Steel Herb Grinder

At Hometown Hero, we like collaborating with small businesses that share our ethos of making high-quality products to promote wellness. Herb Ripper is a brand that perfectly embodies these qualities, and we're always proud to help promote like-minded innovators within the cannabis space. Herb Ripper began when its President and CEO, Kevin Barth, noticed a lack of high-end, American-made grinders at his local headshop. A skilled machinist working at his family's business, he worked to create stainless steel grinders out of a machine shop in Cinnicinatti, Ohio.

Herb Ripper grinders have a unique set of "teeth" that shreds flower in just a few easy turns. This feature helps ensure even-burning for an enhanced experience and fewer instances of jamming.

Medical-grade stainless steel is the same type of metal used to make surgical tools and other related devices. Aluminum is one of the most popular materials used for making metal grinders. However, there is one major setback regarding aluminum—it's porous. Because of this property, most manufacturers will add a coating to the metal, which may chip off or flake, getting into your flower over time. Medical-grade stainless steel is a material that does not require a coating that can chip or flake, but it is also rust-resistant and pretty durable. In other words, this grinder should last you a lifetime.

When you grind flower, you get left with lots of green "dust." This dust, called "kief," consists of trichomes rich in cannabinoids and other cannabis compounds. The micro-screen, ball agitator, and pollen scraper make it easier to collect kief, which you can then sprinkle on a flower or make into a hash, giving you more bang for your buck for your flower.

The Stainless Steel Herb Grinder is dishwasher safe, making it extra easy to keep your newest favorite tool clean and ready to go. How often you clean your grinder is up to you, but some hardcore enthusiasts will clean theirs between different strains to maintain a purity of experience and flavor. Also, Herb Ripper cleans each grinder with ultrasonic technology before it reaches consumers. Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses soundwaves to create bubbles in a cleaning liquid to remove unwanted grime and contaminants from an object. Many grinders may have machine oil residue left over from manufacturing, but Herb Ripper goes the extra mile to ensure you have a clean device to rip up your flower.
