Hello,

I think someone has posted a link here in the past for a supplier of
cogs for paper shredders. Can anyone tell me the link please?

I have a Fellowes paper shredder. It claims to shred eight pages at a
time but is only managing two. I looked inside and the cogs are plastic
and one has a split in it. I am hoping changing the cog might fix the
problem.

If not, I will replace the shredder. I must have had it six or seven
years and although it is only used for domestic use, it is beginning to
show its age: some bits of plastic have started falling off but nothing
that exposes the blades and endangers the user.

Has anyone ordered any of the cheap shredders (£20ish) from CPC? I
wondered how good they were as a replacement?

No, but I also had a Fellowes shredder that finally gave up (it had a
hard life, and owed me nothing). I replaced it with this for 40 quid:

Also Fellowes, much bigger bin, seems more solid than the old one.
Definitely more powerful, although quite noisy.
