Santa Cruz Shredder Grinder – Small 4pc – 1.6″

The Santa Cruz Shredder Small measures 1.6 inches in diameter, making it significantly smaller than the Medium at 2.12 inches and the Large at 2.75 inches. The Small is the most pocket-friendly and discreet option in the SCS 4-piece range, fitting easily in a coin pocket or small pouch without any bulk. The tooth design, screen quality, material, manufacturing process, and rare earth magnet closure are identical across all three sizes. The trade-off is capacity: the Small requires more frequent reloading for users who grind for multiple consecutive sessions or share with others. For solo users who grind small amounts at a time, the Small provides the full SCS grinding experience in the most portable format.

Yes. The 1.6-inch diameter and 1.75-inch height make the Santa Cruz Shredder Small one of the most travel-ready 4-piece grinders available. It slips easily into a coin pocket, small bag pocket, or a rolled-up cloth pouch without taking up meaningful space. The rare earth magnet lid closure is strong enough to hold the grinder closed during the jostling and movement of travel without the lid popping open. The knurled grip provides a secure hold even when the grinder is being used in outdoor or moving environments. The T304 stainless steel screen continues to collect kief even in a small chamber, accumulating over many travel sessions before the bottom chamber needs to be harvested.

Yes. The SCS Small 4-piece grinder includes the full four-chamber construction despite its compact size. The first two pieces form the grinding lid and chamber, the third is the storage compartment with the T304 stainless steel sifting screen, and the fourth is the kief collection chamber at the base. Fine particles including trichomes pass through the micron screen over multiple sessions and accumulate in the bottom chamber. The kief catcher is proportionally smaller than in the Medium and Large due to the reduced overall diameter, but it still collects meaningful amounts of kief over time. Santa Cruz Shredder includes a small triangle-shaped scraper with the grinder for harvesting.

The medical-grade designation on the Santa Cruz Shredder refers to the quality and cleanliness of the aluminum and manufacturing process, not the intended use of the grinder. All SCS aluminum grinders undergo an ultrasonic cleansing process that removes machining lubricants, metal particles, and other contaminants that accumulate during CNC manufacturing. The anodized coating hardens the aluminum surface and creates a non-porous finish that does not react with herb. These standards ensure that the grinder does not introduce metallic particles, residue, or chemical contaminants into the ground herb. These quality standards apply equally to the Small, Medium, and Large models regardless of their intended use or portability level.

The Santa Cruz Shredder Small 4-piece grinder is available in multiple anodized aluminum color options. Common colors include black, purple, red, green, blue, orange, and additional color variants that may change seasonally. The anodized finish creates a hard, scratch-resistant color layer that is integrated into the aluminum surface and resistant to peeling or fading under normal use conditions. Specific color availability at Haze Smoke Shop depends on current inventory. All color options perform identically, with color selection being a matter of personal preference.

Due to its small size, the SCS Small requires careful handling during cleaning to avoid losing components. Place the disassembled pieces in a small sealed container or freezer bag with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to soak for 20 to 30 minutes to dissolve resin buildup. After soaking, use a small brush to scrub the teeth and screen gently, rinse each component thoroughly with warm water, and allow to air dry completely before reassembling. The T304 stainless steel screen is best cleaned by soaking rather than pressing, as physical force on the mesh can deform it. Freeze the grinder for 20 minutes before cleaning if resin is particularly thick, as cold temperatures make it more brittle and easier to dislodge.
