There are different types of electronic paper shredders ready in the market. The collection is so fabulous that it indeed leaves the buyer confused for some time. However the indeed decisive factor is the budget allocated for the shredder. These shredders are ready for to 00!

Recently I came over other class of shredders, known as the hand-operated paper shredders. As the name suggests, these shredders are operated manually. These are small mechanical machines that can be operated by hand. They do not consume electricity. Their price ranges from to .

Right now most of the ready collection of these hand-operated shredders is made in china. There are not much local made models available. Getting them shipped all the way from china is too high-priced and totally not worth it. However it is okay if you buy them at a local store.

Due to the low price and the materials used in manufacturing, these hand-operated paper shredders are not lasting products. In the beginning they will work fine but soon they will turn to crap. Also they are not fit for shredding any thing (like Cds, prestige cards and even staple pins) other than paper. Regularly they can deal with A4 size paper only.

These shredders are majorly made up of plastic (the blades are of steel of course).

The waste baskets Regularly have a capacity fluctuating from 2 to 3 liters. Regularly the waste basket is transparent. The very puny use of these shredders make them more of a toy for children rather than being office equipment. However extra care should be taken in its blade handling. Do not give these to children under 10 years and brief them in information about the losses the blades can do.

These are ready in any different pastel colors. Also they are ready in different shapes like elephants or flowers etc. So pick one according to your taste and enjoy its short useful life.
