That looks like it would be a PITA to clean. Pull all of those screws out?
Mix in a bucket on the floor?
Not sounding good, I think I will stay with gloves or if I pulled a bunch, Bear Claws.

Without a decal from the NSF on it, along with the drill motor that powers it, I am fairly sure it would be a no-go for commercial use.
Especially if they expect you to place a container holding food onto the floor, with an openly vented brushed electric motor spitting grains of metal into the meat you are shredding.
I do not even see it being accpeted for table-top use due to the drill use to power it.

A guy would be better off using a 20QT hobart mixer with a dough hook or K-paddle. At least those have NSF approval, But you would lose way too much heat through the tinned mixer bowl IMO.
The best way I have ever seen to shred meat is by the use of a buffalo chopper with a blunt cylindrical tool instead of the S-Blade attached.
been there, done it, It friggin rocks for shredding meat.

Ya a buffalo chopper would be nice if I had an extra couple of grand.The drill motor is what threw me too is why I was asking.What do they the HD say about bear claws thats what I have now;but was wondering if there was a cheap fast easy way to shred in volume.

If you are worried about the drill, take a smaller bucket, use the drill, and punch a small hole (the dia. of the pork puller shaft) in the bottom.

Run the drill inside the first bucket, and problem solved.

I usually just throw the pork down on my cooker deck and use it for a football until it falls apart........................is there anything wrong with that method? Razz

You guys are keeping me on my toes, but I do appreciate it. You are right, the pot on the floor was a dumba$$ attack on my part. I will re-make the video this week with the pot on the counter.

There is no need to remove the tines to clean the puller. I will include that on the new video as well. If the health inspector where you operate makes you take the tines out to clean it, I would not bother getting one of these. Where I live, they stay in.

As far as the drill goes, it would be a good idea to start out with a brand new one that is nice and pretty and clean, not one that does double duty in the shop. The drill is not an issue in my neck of the woods.

If you are only pulling an occassional butt and don't think it is worth the $29.95, I understand. But if you are pulling multiple butts, this thing will save your arms and a TON of time.

I'm sure putting the pot on the floor was for the benefit of filming, but I would have done it with a mirror and a shorter drill bit on the counter instead.

The other thing that concerns me is any remaining fat will just be mixed in with the meat. I usually separate this as I am pulling.

This is an extension of your arm! You can go full throttle and cream it all together, or you can hit it quickly (as in the video) and pull out the undesirable parts. This is a very simple device and a very simple concept.
