I was in the market for a medium-sized 4pc grinder. Never owned an herb grinder before, my friend insists that I get a Space Case. I go to the headshop and she shows me the Space Case for $90, and then this Aerospaced knockoff for $40. It looked exactly the same to me. Guess which I picked...
Inside of 90 days I was finding metal shavings in my grindage. The screen was affixed via a sloppy bead of hot glue. Herb would get stuck between teeth, in the holes, etc. and I was constantly poking shit thru, stirring, etc. It starting making a squeaking noise when I turned it, I guess from being gunked up.
After whining for 2 weeks and 50 "told you so"'s I finally said fuck it and got the new black titanium Space Case. After another 3 months I cannot claim any of the above problems. It is fascinating to me that a simple product like a grinder can vary so much in quality between 2 seemingly identical products.
Save yourself the trouble, just get the Space Case. You'll end up getting it eventually anyhow.
