Key Features
- Precision Machined Aluminum Handle: Durable, scratch-resistant anodized matte finish provides a high-quality feel and modern aesthetic.
- Sturdy, Self-Aligning Stand: Equipped with an easy-to-clean catch tray and embedded weights for stability, finished in matte black to match the WDT Tool.
- Ergonomic and Efficient Design: Contoured handle for a comfortable grip, enhancing the functionality with a one-of-a-kind look. Flared pins slice through clumps for an efficient distribution.
- Replaceable Stainless Steel Pins: Both 0.35mm and 0.25mm diameters available for the ideal balance of flex and rigidity to break up clumps.
- Flat-Tipped Pins: Custom made for safety to prevent accidental pokes and protect your portafilter basket from scratches.
Pin Options and Suggestions
- 0.35mm: Versatile pins that are rigid enough to efficiently break up dense clumps without pushing grounds around. Ideal for lower-end grinders prone to creating numerous dense clumps.
- 0.25mm: The thinnest pins available, perfect for delicately breaking up small clumps and fluffing grounds. Ideal for higher-end grinders with large, flat burrs.
- 0.35mm and 0.25mm: Can't decide? Try them both! Includes both diameters with dedicated pin inserts for each size.
- Pin Quantity: Choose either 10x or 20x pins. The tool can hold up to 9 pins, so by purchasing 20x, you'll have plenty of spares. We highly recommend ordering extras, especially the 0.25mm pins. If you want more, you can purchase them here.
