OP Paper and Cardboard Shredder

A follow up video showing the main reason why I bought the "Skilsaw" drill. It worked out way better than I could have hoped for. It was also way cheaper than buying a paper shredder that is capable of shredding cardboard. Not to mention that this particular shredder is a cross cut, so the shredded pieces are much smaller than a straight cut shredder, which is probably what I would have bought because they tend to be cheaper than the cross cut ones.

If you like, comment, and watch most of the video, it makes Youtube more likely to recommend my videos to other people, so it really does help out.

Fantastic video. Thanks! I'll be converting my shredder after it burns out

There's something satisfying about how violently it sucks the cardboard in.

This diy makes a lot of sense. The only problem is weak blade rods base design that enables them to move apart from each other. If I go for it, I will find strong constructional design with weak motor. Thanks for the idea.

awesome ! way more power than anything you can buy. maybe someone should make an inexpensive paper shredder using an electric motor that is similar to a drill's motor? id buy it !

Nice! Secure the drill and use the trigger lock

[davidstewart]

Great idea! I'm surprised it is that efficient.

Yooo! You just saved me 1k bro! About to get a couple used shredders and a cheap drill. Apprec.

That's frickin AWESOME. 👍and no you're not going to spend 50 bucks for a good cardboard Shredder I've been looking for one there like $150 $200. I will definitely be doing this once mine Burns Out thanks for the video.

Yep just took apart my paper shredder and hooked up the drill to it and used my 👹ex-wife's portraits works like a charm thanks buddy👍

love it, thanks for sharing, we are going to try this :)

You've probably since moved on from this. But for anyone trying to replicate this, what you could do is if the shredder unit still has the automatic switch attached, hook it up to a relay and plug the drill into that and use a zip tie to hold down the trigger so that you can still automatic feed it.

Heck that is better wonder if a cross cut would work.

[rongray]

Zip tie the trigger, put in a switch on the cord...DONE DEAL! Love It!!

[rdfjfgjyfdhfghy]

This is so fun! Thank you for sharing!

[manor]

Very cool. I'm looking for something that would be able to shred several large boxes within a few minutes. This is one of the closest things I've seen I think.

Could you please share the link you bought it from?

👀WOW just been brain-fried mashing my way through shredder reviews...problem solved, thank you - I have a massively heavy, ancient Black & Decker drill that will chew its way through ANYTHING and just keeps going, it's a blissful workshop security blanket about to find new employment, many thanks
