I agree with this comment. We would have to purchase a new cross-cut shredder when our strip shredder has been more than adequate.

My strip shedder for which I spent $30,000.00 has done the job just fine for 10+ years, wherein I am shredding nearly 28 tons of records per year. Granted my records don't all contain SS #s, but the majority do and I have no budget to replace my capability with a cross cut shredder, which I think may be "over-kill as a solution to shredding documents containing SS#s. Candidly, if I want a student SS#, I can get it a whole lot easier than trying to piece together a strip shredded document.
