Anyone used one of these trimmers?

Sort by date Sort by votes
I used mine on last harvest.
It made it lot easier for the not huge cola type buds.
Going to soak all that fell off[ crystals and sugar leaves] in everclear for a nice tincture.
This is the one I got.
It came with blades for wet and a wire for dry.
I have only used the wire so far.
Here is what I got from being gentle;

That's amazing! I can definitely live with that trim job

I just put that in my cart, it'll be here Friday and it's about five bucks less than the one I was looking at

Thanks for that 🥂 also about the kif that falls, that was going to be my follow-up question because I make mostly hashish

I guess you could tumble the kief and sugar leaves and get good results.
How do you make your hash?
I have a tumbler and a press but am just a slacker.
I love hash~!

I just use a little pollen shaker

I just bought the 16" for just $3 more, big complaint is it doesn't have directions, hoping you can help me set it up when it comes!

Might be having a problem with my new trimmer

This is the part that sits Above
the bowl

The handle spins the top rubber fingers freely

But when the top is on, the screw in the picture will not turn, it will not budge, the handle will not turn

I'm guessing it's supposed to turn to spin the blades underneath

Is that correct?

yes that part should turn so the blade can spin and trim the buds. Almost looks like theres a piece of black plastic around it, or its just early and I dont have my glasses on. Try to take a pair of vice grips and turn that sucker it might just be stuck

Looked it up on YouTube saw how they work, definitely needs to spin, before I send it back is there anything that I'm not seeing, a lock or anything I'm not seeing?

I still have time to send it back and get something else

Eight bucks lost on the pickup but I'm used to that out here, we don't have a UPS drop off anywhere close

I did it will not budge at all, frozen solid.

I'm pretty sure that there's something wrong in the hubs mechanism

it's already boxed up & ready to go back, oh well 😕

Not black plastic, shadow

Everyone on YouTube just put them together and they spun right away

I can see how it's supposed to work, it seems well made too

But that hub is frozen solid

I'm not going to open hub up, I'm just going to send it back

I'm not the most mechanical guy in the world but I did have a couple of technical state licenses so I'm pretty sure that there's something wrong in the hubs mechanism

Update: I put a socket wrench on it and it eventually broke it loose, seems to be working properly now, thanks for the input

Are the straight blades for wet trim and the serrated blade for dry trim?

There's no directions with it at all, so I have to ask these dumb questions 🤷🏻🤦🏻

  • Replaceable Blades: The blades of the bud leaf trimmer can be replaced. When pruning dry or wet plants, the corresponding cutting blades can be replaced to meet the needs of different plant types. The straight blade is designed for wet plant pruning, the serrated blade is used for dry pruning, and the wire "X" blade is used for semi-dry plants.

Lastly, where do the these 2 wire attachments go?

You can remove the blades and install the wires by themselves.
That is the only way I have run.
I always dry trim or atleast partial dry.
I hang plants before tumbling them.

Your don’t worry about breaking trichs with those things? Just curious I’ve never used

I don't use this for my large/cola buds.
I only install a few buds at a time also to have control.
All the trichs and sugar leaves fall into bowl that I make alcohol extract with~!

If I only had 3-4 plants I might struggle through with the electric scissors and hand trimming but I have maff issues~!

Thanks for posting info, I just got a picture card of the spinner saying [para.] "take the top off, put the bud in put the top back on turn handle" was about the extent of it

You use those wire blades INSTEAD of either one of the cutting blades?

You put them in an X from what I can read right, I'll give that a try I still have to chop and dry

I'm not going to chop for a little while longer tho, maybe a week, need more amber
