Fellowes Powershred DS1

According to Javelin Strategy and Research, 8.9 million US adults were victims of identity theft in 2005. In addition, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center victims spend an average of nearly $1,500 in out-of-pocket expenses to fix their identity problems. One of the simplest ways to protect our identities – and potentially dad’s wallet – is to shred all sensitive information before throwing it away.

Enter the Fellowes Powershred DS1 personal shredder. It has a proprietary technology called Safe Sense. This technology protects users, including children and pets, by shutting down when it senses that hands or pets are too close to the paper opening. With this feature, Safe Sense takes away the worries regarding kids or pet’s safety when they are near the machine.

Also, the shredder dices through staples and credit cards, and offers the ultimate protection with its confetti-cut capabilities…making it nearly impossible for identity thieves to piece together your personal information. The shredder costs $99.99 and can be found at Sam’s Club and Best Buy nationwide. www.fellowes.com
