I don't want to be in the shredder business and I really don't care who sells them. All I know is there is no reliable, economical, introductory shredder on the market and there is a need for one.
If your name is on it Don, Thats all I need to know, count me in for one.

Yeah, unfortunately it was a matter of having them made economically and selling them or having them made stateside and admire them sitting on a self....tough decision.


Nope...it's a righty, but if you're a lefty, you've been living in a right handed world all your life and can make the adjustment...like with everything else.
Ha ha! I'm ready for the challenge, bring the shredder on~! You're right, I use both hands anyway for just about everything. At some point in my early years I quit whining and just got it done. Oh yeah, whining wasn't allowed back then.....

The shredder getting ready to go back to China. Here's list of modifications I've made.

If you see something wrong or something over-looked, please feel free to comment.

I believe someone suggest a bolt-on grip for the handle, rather than the cast grip, so that it could rotate, and not cause blisters.

That was me. And that is the only thing I see missing.

The purposed price point is astounding. When this goes live, I will be in for a combo. The shredder and a powermatic manual stuffer.

I had to reps in the shop the other day and gave them the garbage model from Poland. I explained the handle was the only thing "right" with that shredder. Yet another rep will be going to China to personally monitor the production...I will explain the handle to him ad well.

A drawing with the updstes will be sent to me before production begins, so I'll have another opportunity to make more modifications.

I ordered this one a few weeks ago, got it yesterday and express shipped it to China within hours.

This one shreds stems with ease (not that I suggest smoking stems). The only modifications it needs is to create a smoother surface. The cut is prefect.
