Not to get off track but what do you use them so much for? I bought one about 12 years ago and I think I used to twice to make cookies and about twice a year for making zucchini noodles.
Me either I been grinding once for 40 years. To each his own but I just make sure the meat is semi frozen or very close too it when it goes in the grinder.

Seems good to go. Glad its been working for you. Weight is a big issue with rotomolded coolers. I use them for about everything except on my kayak and on my surf fishing cart. I use lighter coolers for those needs. Use the right tool for the job at hand.

So I made due with a couple semi custom/ modified rifles that I couldnt be happier with. A Rem 700 XCR 2 in 270...
