Results tagged “shredders” from Trying Technology
So I bought this shredder last year. It's a good one -- cross-cuts into tiny diamond-shapped chads; it was on sale for like forty bucks.
Here's the thing: The usage guidelines (which are, to the company's credit, on the device itself, not just in the printed instructions) say, up to eight sheets at a time, and, don't use more than 25 to 50 times per day.
Now, "eight sheets at a time" is pretty clear, and not too hard to do.
But the per-day advice... I'm not disputing the numbers, but y'know, a little incremental, resettable counter would make tracking this a lot easier. (Or, I suppose, taping a mini-pad of paper on top, and just making counting marks.)
For that matter, roughly how much shred does the basket hold -- another rough way to track, if you empty it out before a long day's shredding? I suppose I could track it, and then put pieces of tape on to mark as another way to ballpark the daily shred count.
I'm just saying, we shouldn't have to think about this to know how we're doing.
