The Herb Master Stainless Steel heavy Duty T handle Style Pollen Press is very strong and durable allowing you to apply maximum pressure to create disks around the size of a Nickel. It is recommended you run it a few times and then clean it before first use. If you have issues with your “pucks” sticking you can put a drop of olive oil on the end cap before use or lay in a small piece of plastic wrap/cellophane to easily remove the material.
