After looking over the Kobra 270 TS C4 Cross-Cut Shredder we were quite pleased with its specs. Now it may not be the cheapest on the market but we think that the few extra bucks you'll spend will be worth it. Check out the specs below and judge for yourself.






Security


At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security Erik Lamela Argentina Jersey , a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won't have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine.

Although the size may make it difficult to fit this shredder in a tight space, it's always worth it in the long run to get a bigger bin size and move your offi.
