The Swingline ShredMaster EX12-05 is an OEM cross-cut shredder designed for moderate security needs, rated at Level 3. It efficiently shreds up to 12 sheets at a time, including unopened junk mail, CDs, credit cards, paper clips, staples, and documents. The 5-gallon pullout waste bin simplifies the emptying process, while a separate cutter for CDs helps prevent wear and tear on the main cutters. Additionally, a cool-down indicator ensures optimal performance during use.
