this shredder grinds into very small pieces, so it is unmatched for security at this price point.

it shreds to small, high-security bits and is so quiet i shred stuff that doesn't need it just to use it.
for extra security with credit cards, my advice is to forget about the dedicated slot (which cuts in 5/16" stripes), and just pass them through the paper slot to make confetti out of them.
