I was shredding some paper the other day.  Things were going well and then I heard a loud screech!  I must have put in too much paper.  I tried to clear the jam but it still made the crazy noise.  Time for a teardown.  I think I’m qualified to teardown a paper shredder, my Dad used to run an office equipment store.  Ha ha.  I went from this…

…to this…

Shreaddy R.I.P.
2008 – 2012

…in about fifteen minutes.  It couldn’t be fixed.  A plastic gear crapped the bed.  What a great design, metal and plastic gears.  Thumbs down, Staples!  Good old, Shreaddy.  You will be missed.  But there’s no time to mourn because I have paper in need of shredding!  My backup shredder, yes, I have a backup shredder,  was put into action and I’m back in business.  Whew!

Have a nice day.
