Need to remove (when unplugged) tiny knots of paper on top of shredder teeth that they cannot grab. Are these narrow enough?

I think they would be small enough, at least on my paper shredder, but i dont know if they'd have enough force to hold on and pull, needle nose pliers might be better?

I don't think you could shred paper. There's nothing sharp in the grinding mechanism as there is in a paper shredder.

It's an access hole to view the shredded paper and push it down of spread it out if necessary. You can also grab ahold of it with your had to move the shredder around or remove the shredder top.

strips, but i suggest you spend $10 or $15 more and get a nice electric one mine gave out on the first bag orf shredding and i did not do all at the same time. also it only takes a paper the size of a business envelope one paper at a time.

Yes, it cross cuts, resulting in bits of paper less than 1/4 inch wide and 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. My shredder is still working well.

No. A paper shredder cuts sheets into narrow strips, of varying widths, holds the paper through the knives, and leaves the shreds difficult to put back together. An eco shredder just has a whirling blade in a space, arbitrarily chopping into whatever gets in its way. I don't like the chances of paper "munged" in an eco-shredder being shredded into anything that might be difficult to reconstruct. More likely to miss than cut....

I'm sorry but I don't really know. I shredded over 30 lbs. of old documents over the course of several days. I went through many of them before shredding which gave the shredder a break. I believe the manual states this information, however. I'll check tonight when I get home and let you know later.

The instruction booklet recommends that you do not shred envelopes with plastic windows in them or transparencies. These items might melt and present a greater chance of jamming in the blades

I thought about that, too! But I haven't tried yet. They aren't a typical size and I'm not sure if my printer will choke trying to feed the plastic through. Also, as they're a circle folded in two, I suspect slippage would be an issue, as well.

If the labels are still sticky, place them on a sheet of paper that you're planning to shred. Too much glue isn't good for any shredder.

they sit about a little less than an inch in your papers if u put it at the tip. I've cut one down before and it worked the same

I Would not recommend trying to shred something like that. I have seen more expensive type shredders struggle with cardboard. It may be okay if you shred in small strips. But it will eat up credit cards, CD's, and DVD's with no problem. Hope this helps

Not familiar with mailmate brand but if the sheets will physically fit into the shredder (at least 8 1/2 inches wide slot) then they will work. The sheets could be cut for a smaller shredder but that may prove to be messy.

It will work. They are just smaller. You could cut the cardboard, but you don't have to

I have not done that but my son suggested I buy treated sheets that are fed through the shredder. He believes that is sufficient. I should probably make sure that is sufficient!

To be honest, I don't know. I've never put anything thru with staples or paperclips....my best guess would be NO

The strips that my shredder makes are vertical and just under 3/16" wide by 1 " to 2" long. Note that the instruction booklet states the strips are 5/32" by 2" long. For the type of home documents I need shredded, these strips are good enough.
