AmazonBasics 6-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Paper and Credit Card Shredder
Quickly Shreds Confidential Info
Thoroughly shred multi-page documents (up to six sheets at a time) with this AmazonBasics high-security micro-cut shredder. Offering a continuous shred cycle of three minutes, the machine quickly turns paper into tiny confetti-like pieces.
Micro-Cut: 6X Smaller than Cross-Cut
The micro-cut shredder turns a letter-size sheet of paper into about 2,235 pieces, each measuring 5/32 by 15/32 inches (4 by 12 mm). By comparison, that same sheet of paper becomes only 360 pieces using a typical cross-cut shredder.
Use the powerful micro-cut shredder to shred anything from living wills, house deeds, and social-security cards to medical records, bank statements, old tax returns, and other sensitive documents. Even more, the shredder can handle small paper clips and staples for time-saving convenience.
Helps Safeguard Your Identity
Choose the AmazonBasics micro-cut shredder when you need to destroy the most sensitive information. The shredder provides a high level of security--perfect for protecting you and your family's identity at home or client information, business records, and highly classified documentation at work.
