The trim pro is just a table with a razor blade sharp knife, as for knocking of the triches, they don't. Now the ones that tumble the stuff would probably, that's how I make my hash lol. Also how could the wax be any different than just using shake? I made lots of extract using the cut and never had an issue. As I said IMO there great if you need one and by that I mean if you have quantity and bag appeal is not a priority. I harvest 6 plants at a time and never pull it out now. Sometimes I give it some serious thought though lol.
