Metal grinders: SpaceCase vs. Mix n' Ball vs. others...

I am referring to the metal grinders that also come with a kief screen and botton compartment. Just wondering if the SpaceCase is worth all that money? Seems so much more overpriced than the competitors, Mix n' Ball, Kannastor, etc. Is it really worth all that money? Alot of people swear by them. I'm looking at the Kannastor, because it's a respected name brand and it's considerably cheaper than a similar-sized SpaceCase. What kinda metal grinder w/ kief screen do you have? How much did you pay and how well does it perform? All feedback appreciated, I don't wanna spend all that money and still not get the best value.

I machined my own out of a piece of 20 pound aluminum stock. I have magnets in it and never once used grease on it. Yet I get this horrible grease like residue on the magnets, I always throw it away but I wonder what is the deal with the junk.

I have a spacecase container for lack of a better word. It doesn't actually grind anything but it does have a supposed kief screeen. To be honest the screen is metal and inferior to a silk screen kief box.

Space Cases are by far my favorite grinders, however they are a little expensive.

It will last you a long time though so spending that amount of money isn't a terrible waste....

imo if you're looking to collect keif in the spacecase just buy a keif box and a cheap grinder. grind ur weed over the keif box and shake and rake.

my grinder works pretty good, got it at a local shop. its polished on the outside and has pointed spikes that grind instead of pegs or something else shitty.

I have a MixNBall. Gave away the combat they make to a friend. Still have the Megaleaf. The older versions (bought mine in 2000) are tougher to use, especially the megaleaf. It's too short so you have to hold it between the palms of your hands and if you're trying to grind more than 1.5g, although it fits, is tough to get starter without a good grip on it. And the anodizing wears off where there is metal to metal contact after repeated use. But they do make a good product and the space case isn't anodized at all. You can also get the 3 screen grinder and press for ~ $70 which I'll probably do in a month or so.

I always play with and grind bud bud over a screen and glass plate so I collect trichs that way, but the grinder and screen combo just seem so much more convenient. Do you think its worth it to just keep doing what I'm doing and maybe just invest in a box?

edit: good boxes are so damn expensive, too
