Very pleased with this beast of a grinder and when I say beast, I mean it. It will take whatever you throw at it and absolutely tear it up. The matte metal body gives a premium feel that won't get any prints on it and can take a beating. I think the thing I love the most is the ease of opening and closing the grinder with its latch like threading and how you can take out the kief sifting attachment to just have a compact grinder. Now that I'm done drooling over the Cali Crusher, I can say that there definitely are some cons to it. While the matte finish is nice and all, having it on a metal grinder where the joints connect to grind your herb makes it have some resistance and a slight and light scratching sound. Also with the shape of these fixed blades, I personally find it hard to get the last of the bud down into the other chambers and have to peel the lid off and proceed to tap the grinding parts to the collection cavity inorder to get all that sticky goodness out. Overall this grinder gets a thumbs up from me because of how well it was made and the nice touch of including a guitar pick, but know that just because you pay a premium doesn't mean the product is perfect.
