I don’t trust the plastic teeth under this much torque and speed. You’ll never distinguish the pieces from ground pepper, either.

I loved that saying. Then I saw this.

I’d be worried of generating too much heat and breaking a part off. I did this once and decided not to risk it going forward.

Something can work and still be stupid.

Invest $15 in a Hamilton Beach electric coffee grinder.

Buy an oil filter socket that’s just a bit too big and fits over the pepper grinder. Add duct tape. Now it’s removable.

Yeah but if it doesn’t work (like this won’t for long… or at all with how hot it probably gets) then it still is stupid.

When the simple alternative is beating something in a bag with a hammer, this is a stupid idea

that is how you ingest microplastics

Alton Brown did this back in Good Eats a long time ago

This will be tried lol. I make my own rubs and use the exact same shaker, my forearm hates brisket lol

I bought a Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon for $150 (200 regular) and I regret nothing.
If you invest in things you use on the daily you’ll grow to agree, despite the sour taste that paying for a $200 pepper grinder leaves you with.

My neck got redder just looking at that

Look up a grinder called pepper cannon. Expensive, but damn is it nice and it puts out so much pepper per turn.

Real men use AC not batteries! Your losing RPMs, need more power

My last server at Olive Garden came back to the table with something similar to this when I didn’t wave them off on the cheese for my salad

Pepper grinders are not designed to deal with the torque or rpm’s drills produce. Long story short heat will build up where the plastic touches and it will fail, and you will get tiny bits of black plastic with your pepper. A designated coffee grinder is way faster and designed with purpose.

Can we at least say it looks really stupid?

I’m not saying you are right but I’m not saying I wouldn’t try it 😆

Alton Brown made something like that back on Good Eats 20 years ago.

This wouldn’t work though? The socket is taped to the entire grinder. Wouldn’t the whole thing just spin?
Edit: oh wait, you hold the top with your hand. Still stupid.
I use mine as a coffee grinder. r/dewalt is a safe space

Once was in Ecuador hired to cater a big dinner and could not get the smoker up to temp.
Used my bedside fan next to the firebox to stoke the flames to get heat up. Had charbroil reps for the country coming by and asking me what the hell I was doing. Explained.
They made me feel like I was Isssac newton. It felt like common sense at the time.
You do what you gotta do 😂👍🏼👍🏼

I can literally smell the aroma of freshly ground beans… and burnt plastic.

Who among us has not suffered peppercorn grinder wrist?

I hear it’s a real grind

I’m curious if it actually worked

I don’t think the tape will have the strength and a couple presses of the button will rip it free. Or did it work? Lol

This only works good if the mill is metal. I had a plastic one and did this and it melted lol

At first glance I thought you had created a masterbation machine. The internet has ruined me 🙁

I bought a real pepper grinder from TJ max that was missing the cap for like $2 ages ago. I can attach a drill to the metal shaft (no janky tape) and easily control how coarse I grind.

Use a drill, not an impact
