Even though we’ve moved into a digital age, there are still lots of documents that only come in paper form. Some of these have sensitive information on them and can’t be tossed in the bin. Well, you can just toss them if you want your identity stolen. If you don’t want to invest in a shredder, Shredscor are the scissors that do the same job.

These are like a mega pair of scissors. One handle controls nine blades so every cut does nine times the damage. As you cut, the document is utterly destroyed. For better results, don’t cut straight and recut your pages.

You can use these on paper or plastic so you can destroy many things. Old credit cards, photos, or just junk mail. If you don’t often have to destroy things in this manner, a full shredder may be a bit much to add to your home office but the Shredscor, as awkward as it looks, can be tucked away in a drawer until needed. They cost $23 but can save you thousands in safety.
