The Kasher has a permanent place in my weedist tool kit. It can be used in almost any smoking situation because of its convenience and abundance of applications.

A Kasher is a small, stainless steel pipe tool that attaches to any classic BIC lighter. It’s a close fit and it weighs next to nothing, making it almost unnoticeable when holding and using a lighter normally. It slides smoothly up and down the side of the lighter, and stays in place when using the poker. My Kasher sells the Original (OG) Kasher and the beefed up Kasher+, which comes with a thicker metal and four different color options.

A Kasher shines when used with pipes, bongs, and grinders.

Use a Kasher to…

Load, pack, stir, and empty pipe and bong bowls. It can also be used to pack down the end of joints and blunts. Push down stuck cannabis in the teeth of a grinder. Pick up keif from the keif catcher. The concave poker creates a small platform that can scoop keif from grinders.

To get the most out of the Kasher be sure to clean it on a regular basis. The poker will get sticky with tar and resin, and failing to clean it for an extended period of time will result in a tar buildup on the end of the poker.

Make your lighter stand out with a Kasher.

If you’re like most smokers, you’ve probably had someone steal a lighter from you. And if you’re like most smokers, you’ve probably nabbed a lighter or two from a buddy in the past. It happens to almost everyone, but with a Kasher attached your lighter is much easier to keep track of and much harder for someone to mistakenly place in their pocket without thinking twice of it. With the new Kasher+ you can even differentiate between Kashers by color, making it even easier to distinguish your lighter from the next.

The Kasher does have its limitations. As a kief grabber it isn’t great. There is only a small area on the end of the poker that can be used to pick up kief so you can only get one little scoop at a time. And because the small nature of the poker, it can be difficult when using it to pack cannabis down in a glass bowl or rolling paper. If you’re looking for something more versatile try the Czech Pipe Tool Moirai reviewed.

Even with those limitations in mind, I still think this is a must-have item for any cannabis connoisseur. You’re almost always going to have a lighter on you, but how often do you bring a pipe tool with you? With the Kasher you won’t have to think about it ever again. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t use my Kasher to either clean a bowl, put kief on some cannabis, or tidy up my grinder.
