The 2.5″ Decal Metal Grinder from What You Need is a four-piece metal herb grinder made for people who actually care what their grind looks like and how it feels. With a roomy 2.5 inch (63.5mm) diameter and sharp diamond-shaped teeth, it chews through dense nugs and fluffy buds alike while showing off your style with bold decal designs. The built-in kief chamber and included scraper make sure none of that good stuff goes to waste.
What You Get
- Fast, fluffy grind — Diamond-shaped teeth slice instead of mash, so your herbs grind evenly instead of turning into dust.
- Plenty of room — 2.5 inches (63.5mm) across gives you space to prep enough herb for you and a couple friends in one go.
- Save your kief — The bottom chamber and included scraper catch and collect that extra-potent powder for rainy-day bowls.
- Built to last — Solid metal body stands up to drops, backpacks, and “whoops” moments on the coffee table.
- Stays put in the hand — Classic 4-piece shape with textured edges makes twisting easier when you’re a few seshes deep.
- Style on the table — Decal artwork turns your grinder into part of the vibe instead of something you hide in a drawer.
Best For
This grinder is made for everyday smokers who want one solid piece to be their long-term daily driver, not a disposable backup. It’s especially clutch if you’re already running a couple glass or silicone pipes and bongs and want a grinder that feels as dialed-in as the rest of your setup.
How to Use It
Load your herbs into the toothy top chamber, keeping them off the center magnet so the lid can close cleanly. Once the lid is on, twist back and forth with light, steady pressure — the diamond teeth do the real work, breaking everything down to an even, rollable or packable consistency.
As you grind, finished material drops through the grinder plate into the middle chamber, leaving stems and unbroken chunks up top until they’re ready. A fine mesh screen under that mid-layer lets kief slowly sift into the bottom compartment over time so you can decide when to cash it in. Setting the grinder on a nonstick dab mat or tray keeps stray crumbs from wandering all over your table.
When you’re ready to tap into your kief stash, just unscrew the bottom section and use the included scraper to pile it up. For general care, a quick brush-out now and then keeps everything turning smoothly without having to deep clean as often.

FAQ
- Is 2.5 inches too big to carry around?
It’s on the larger side compared to pocket grinders, but still very toss-in-a-bag friendly. If you’re mostly grinding at home or at a friend’s place, this size feels perfect and gives you way more capacity than the tiny travel pieces you’re always double-loading. - Does this grinder have a kief catcher?
Yes, it’s a true 4-piece grinder with a screened chamber and a kief catch at the bottom. Every spin helps sift a little more into the base, and the included scraper makes it easy to gather when you’re ready to treat yourself. - Can I use this for really sticky or dense herb?
Absolutely. The diamond-shaped metal teeth are designed to handle dense, sticky buds — just avoid overpacking and give it a couple extra twists. If you’re grinding super fresh, resin-heavy flower, a quick brush-out after use helps keep the teeth from gumming up. - How do I clean the grinder safely?
Disassemble the grinder, tap out any loose material, and wipe away residue. For deeper cleans, soak the metal pieces in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry completely before using again. Let everything fully dry so your fresh grind doesn’t stick or clump. If you also work with concentrates, keeping a separate tool stash from your dab tools helps avoid crossing sticky residues. - Will the decals wear off over time?
With normal use, the decals hold up well, especially if you’re not tossing the grinder around with keys or sharp metal in the same pocket. Treat it like you would a nice lighter or stash jar, and the artwork should keep looking clean. - Does it come with a screen I can replace?
This style uses a fixed screen in the middle section. If you like to rotate between grinders or screens based on how much kief you want to collect, you can always keep a second grinder around or pair this with dedicated glass jars to manage different strains and grinds. - What should I pair this grinder with for a full setup?
This grinder drops right into any standard kit: roll on papers or cones, or pack bowls on your favorite pieces. If you’re building a full stash from scratch, check out our general smoke shop products to round things out with pipes, tools, and other daily-driver gear.
Whether you’re rolling solo joints or keeping the homies stocked at the table, the 2.5″ Decal Metal Grinder gives you the feel of a sturdy metal piece with the personality of your favorite sticker-bombed gear — and enough capacity to keep the grind flowing all night.
