i am planing on getting a grinder but i was wondering what one i should get i would like it to have a "pollen" catcher
i'd also like to add to this question by asking if metal, wood or acrylic are better and what kind of teeth are better the diamond shaped ones on most of the metals, or the pyramid shaped teeth on most of the acrylic grinders?
Any kind of 4 piece metal grinder with a pollen screen and kief catcher should do the trick. Don't worry about spending lots of money on an expensive one like a space case or chromium crusher, unless that is what you are looking for. I personally went to my local headshop and bought a nice one for $20; it's chinese but it does what i need it to do.
I went to ebay and got a chromium crusher for $16.98 shipped. Seriously, if you can use ebay, check out grinderprince's store. Chromium Crushers for $16.98 w/free shipping, That's the best deal for a grinder I've ever seen.

Made me feel stupid too, for dropping $35 for the chinese one I bought that the coating flaked off of on the inside after only a couple of months.
I've ordered about 8 different ones off ebay and I've determined that the chromium crusher, and the ones from the ebay store "half baked goods" are the best. The half baked goods ones are generic, but they're exact replicas of space cases at a fraction of the price.
the space case is pretty nice, but the mendo mulcher looks a lot more serious seeing its shaped like a shitty octagon as compared to the generic circle. I'd got with a 3" large mulcher they got for 60 at the mend site but you can find one cheaper on ebay or go down to your local head shop and I'm sure you can haggle. i like the 3" because all the extra surface area helps you grind lots of buds with out getting the sides of the grinder jammed.
I think Medium Santa Cruz Shredder would be nice. It's a 4 Pieces Grinder with a Cali Crusher Pollen Press. Moreover, It has also good customer review. You can check this out.
I'd check out a Cali crusher homegrown. Has things that prevent cross threading, or phonecian is a good grinder brand that builds up Kief fast, has a place to hold rolling papers, and also has an ashtray on it. Very nice.
