Six inches tall and quite slim, the Pump and Grind features a patented viewing window for distinguishing the salt mill from its matching pepper mill counterpart, and for viewing the level of salt crystals in order to prevent a shortage at a crucial moment. Vic Firth salt mills are fitted with nylon mechanisms, while those on the pepper mills are stainless-steel. Vic Firth backs the long-lasting mill with a lifetime guarantee. --Ann Bieri

It is easy to use. It's good for humid places and specially boats. PROS 1) Maintain the salt free of humidity 2) The salt is grinded into a cloud of tiny grains. The grains are grinded into smallest size than commercial grinded salt. Looks like salt powder. 3) The acrylic tube let's you know when to refill. 4) The size is perfect for daily use at home. 5) In contrast with battery operated grinder, it's always ready to use, the salt is grinder into powder not large grains, and it's free of moist. 6) The small grains of salt (powder released) is more pleasantly and rapidly dissolve in the mouth compared to others salt grinders and standard salt. 7) The salt is released with consistence (quantity and grain size) with every push. 8) It's easy to use for adults with just one hand. Good for occasional used at the kitchen or daily use at the table. CONS...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Vic Firth STS06SM01 "Pump & Grind" Salt Mill, Stainless Steel (Kitchen) I first bought a travel size pepper mill and loved being able to grab with one hand and use it while cooking. I finally ordered the salt one and glad that I did. I don't care that it doesn't hold alot of salt. It's not like I have to add more salt to it often...more like every 2 or 3 months. I live in California so I guess I don't have issues with the humidity that others have commented on. I lost mine (I have no idea how) and ordering a second one so that says alot. Of course I will find the lost one the day the new one comes in the mail...

This review is from: Vic Firth STS06SM01 "Pump & Grind" Salt Mill, Stainless Steel (Kitchen) Good looking and works well, in dry weather. Very little salt comes out when it's humid. The capacity of this mill is small. |
