The Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder is a product I use on a daily basis in my office.
This shredder is great for destroying old business documents and junk mail – really anything you can think of that needs to be shredded.
But the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder can tear up more than paper. If you’ve got an old CD of songs from an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, stick them in here and they’re obliterated. Same goes for DVD’s.
Old credit cards or credit cards you don’t want can be shredded with this shredder, as well.
Your papers are stapled? No worries. You can run them through this machine, too.
I bought the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder because of the diamond cuts. With a regular shredder, you’ll typically get straight cuts, which could possible be put together.
But this shredder chops pages into diamond-shaped 0.28″ x 2.09″ bits. Try putting together a document out of those tiny scraps!
The shredder can take up to 12 pages. In the past, I had shredders that claimed they would cut up as many as 8 pages, but they could really only handle about else they’d jam.
When it comes time to empty the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder, the bucket pulls out easily.
In the past, I had one that was very top heavy, and you had to remove the top to empty it, which was a hassle.
It’s very easy to use, and I like it a lot, because it does the job.
