Nothing will spice up your office space as much as these surprising stationary shredders can.
The ultra useful office accessory is a must-have for keeping your personal information secret, but most must-haves are commonly available as boring mass-manufactured items -- especially when it comes to something as impersonal as a paper shredder. This collection will open your eyes to the niche possibilities that are out there. For example, one wild invention is a pet-powered paper shredder. Instead of getting just another office rat to shred your stuff, why not get a real one to do it? Or if you don't want that squeaky wheel disturbing your peace and quiet, try the Jack-in-the-Box shredder, which is a completely silent manual option.
By making use of inventions like these, shredding is no longer just another menial work task.
