    STAG arm lowers SUCK!!!

    Is it financially worth it to buy a meat grinder

    It's a good idea I think to have one even if your not sure if it will come in handy or not. Even if it may or may not save you money. It's an item that someday we all just might need on a daily bases. As to what type there have been a lot of good refs above. Oster is nice and where to get...
