Dads and grads tend to get a lot of junk mail and here's a great way to help them safely dispose of it. The Fellowes' PS-79Ci paper shredder is a perfect way to make sure their sensitive paperwork is destroyed so that your dad or grad won't fall victim to identify theft. The shredder features 100% jam proof technology, which instantly calculates the amount of paper being fed into the machine to stop a paper jam before it occurs and it has the ability to power through tough jobs! A light bar lets you know when you're nearing sheet capacity. A green to yellow light means you're good to go and a red light means there's too much paper. It also features SafeSense Technology which automatically disables the shredder when sensing hands or large pets are too close to the paper opening. It even has cross-cut capabilities and can handle CDs/DVDs, credit cards, staples and paper clips. Available at Office Depot for $199. For more, visit www.fellowes.com.
