paper shredder repair?
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? One grumble is that we ought to shred junk mail as we receive it but we tend to let it accumulate and then shred the night before the bin men are due. Although we are not shredding mountains of paper, the overheat cutout always seems to stop us halfway through. I am surprised how quickly this operates. Are all shredders so quick to do this? Thanks, Stephen. |
