If you need/want to chop up fast and you would normally have access to a power point when you smoke, you could use a coffee grinder and then a pair of scissors if it isn't chopped up enough. Works in seconds and normally pretty well, plus the kief catches right on the lid so it's easy to store. I got mine from K-Mart for $13 AUD but I don't know about other countries prices, sorry.

Edit: Link to Amazon for a $15 grinder, can hold up to 2.3 ounces of "beans"
