Portable Person Powered Paper Pulveriser

Tipster Nessie thought we might all get a kick outta this pint sized muscle-powered paper shredder. It’s probably something that politicians asked James Bond’s Department Q to conjure up, so they could smuggle it to work and ever so quietly destroy incriminating documents. No big horrible whirring sounds, like someones fallen into a thresher. The down side is its size. Only 4.5 inches wide. But they do say you can feed two sheets at a time. Maybe you can fold a standard letter sheet in half? Still, I wonder if scissors might not be just as fast. For $4 USD maybe a Boll shirt customer can test one, and report back? ::Flax Art
They have a full-sized one in the SF store for $8.95.
I had one of the full size ones and it was great until one of the little plastic transmission gears threw a tooth and then the whole thing was a big stinky pile of useless unrecyclable plastic.
