Why do You Need A Hand-held Paper Shredder?

Many people are put off by home paper shredders because of the amount of room they take up. If you have limited space in your house but are keen to improve the security of your personal documents, hand-held paper shredders are ideal. They work well to shred all documents, but can be stored neatly away in cupboard.

A popular hand-held shredder actually resembles a pair of scissors. This is one of the most basic shredders on the market, but can actually be stored in a drawer and brought out when needed. It is also ideal for traveling as it fits neatly in a bag or suitcase.  There is no need for batteries or any electrical outlet; you just need to be able to use a pair of scissors in order to operate it. It is important however to remember to keep it out of the reach of any children as it’s not a toy and could cause them some harm. A good choice for this kind of shredder is the Aihon shredder which comes complete with 9 connected blades and retails for $17.

If you like the idea of a hand-held shredder which does not require batteries or electrical power, the JS55 strip cut shredder made by Royal is another good option. Again, this is perfect for traveling and can be stored neatly without any fuss. It retails for $16.50 and has a 5 sheet capability.

If the use of batteries does not bother you, the next step up in hand-held paper shredders are still small enough to fit in a desk drawer and luggage but are automatic and have a number of added features such as automatic on/off switches. These start at just $13 and are very popular as you do not have to do as much work with them because they are not manual. They are handy (and cheap) enough to have them spread around your home and office.

People often ask what they should do with the waste after they have shredded their documents. As hand-held shredders are designed for small amounts of paper at one time, the waste left over will easily fit in any trash can and you can be safe in the knowledge that no one can have access to the information.

If your children are old enough, they can even help you while you shred and it could become a fun game for them (as long as it is supervised). Every child loves to play ‘office’ and this would free up your time while your children were playing. It is important for someone to watch them however because it would be far to tempting to try and ‘shred’ important items from around the home.

There are many hand-held shredders which are stylish, innovative and make great gifts. They come in a variety of shapes and can even be found disguised as cows, elephants, hippos, frogs, and pandas. They cost approximately $13 and look good on all desks. They operate using a hand crank and also double up as pencil sharpeners.
