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

[@ohjesushesaiditagain.6748]

Bish bash bosh, no messing about, job done.. just what I needed thank you

[@suislidesullivan]

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

[@fishinkarts2865]

I know right?

[@miscellaneous5268]

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.

[@fishinkarts2865]

Yeah that's definitely one downfall to this. You're welcome :)

[@davidstewart860]

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

[@mathewhunt81]

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 !

[@RemindThemAboutGeorgeFloyd]

Seriously... Like wtf. Cardboard shredders cost upwards of $1.2k

[@highpowerx4554]

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👍

[@phoenixrisingharley]

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

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

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.

[@easymode_RL]

Did you end up making something like this? I’m also in the same boat. I was looking at a 24 sheet basic paper shredder for like 250. And I was just thinking there’s gotta be a cheaper alternative.

[@abseiduk]

Anything above $60 is just not worth the money. But you need 18-24 sheet capacity for cardboard and that's $200 right there.

[@rongray4118]

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

[@fishinkarts2865]

That's actually a really good idea. I just need to make a bracket to hold the drill in place.

[@windsunh2o]

Maybe even a foot-pedal switch. That would be fun!

[@rollandelliott]

@@windsunh2o yep foot switch is only about $10 at walmart

[@easymode_RL]

I wouldn’t zip tie any trigger, I know from experience you definitely don’t want to do that for safety reasons.

[@Jazz-ji9zu]

​@@easymode_RLI need to know.

[@Thebearcave1776]

Nice! Secure the drill and use the trigger lock

[@rdfjfgjyfdhfghy67456]

This is so fun! Thank you for sharing!

[@fishinkarts2865]

👍

[@abseiduk]

Nice job👍

[@synsay669]

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

[@shitina.bucket9699]

Wow 😍

[@michaeljlangford]

Now this is innovative -- thanks.

[@fishinkarts2865]

👍

[@morgan79347]

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

[@viasha]

👀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

[@abseiduk]

I love black and decker construction is solid but the price and power out put is always lower.

[@glenchadwick420]

Tomorrow my wife is going to be asking me "What happened to our washing machine motor😡? Sorry babe, its all part of being Man😎 MORE POWER💪!!!!

[@fishinkarts2865]

Absolutely!

[@shitina.bucket9699]

😍

[@petercoutu4726]

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.

[@manor1730]

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.

[@xrhma02]

Could you please share the link you bought it from?

[@danielewing8621]

Love it 🎉

[@SilviaLopez-zu2ef]

HelloI love your invention lol, but i was wondering if it can be twicked a little and go in "reverse" to not shredd all the way????

[@thomasdidymus1393]

AWESOME!!!! Just watch your toes!!

[@abseiduk]

Hi great vid just wanted to know what was the original sheet capacity of the shredder?

[@fishinkarts2865]

I think it was only 4 or 6

[@catcat7910]

Satisfying

[@Jazz-ji9zu]

What was the original shredder that came out of?

[@jamesveigue1496]

Hella ya brotha!

[@craiggatte9593]

This is awesome lol

[@fishinkarts2865]

Haha thanks. Sometimes a dumb idea actually kinda works 🤪

[@TsuDenom]

Where the end product - shredded cardboard bro?

[@danielewing8621]

Next put a foot pedal switch. 👍🏻

[@outerdead]

Pen + Gear 16 page seems nice: Check out vuaeco's video Precious Plastic S01E01: Shred plastics with a paper shredder The things motor looks pretty big.

[@heinzhubbuch9409]

can you do cans

[@loucipher67]

pity it's a three handed operation.... damn you evolution!

[@marie817]

how do you make this? or where did you order it?

[@fishinkarts2865]

I took a normal paper shredder apart (the motor burned up) and then put a socket in the drill that fit a bolt on the shredder.

[@ИгорьЛушников-с9и]

С пивом потянет.👍

[@kiaraleiba]

Ponete un zapato

[@troychampion]

ya, so, i was looking for something reproducible... this video was 3 years ago... how many days did this last once you broke it the first time and swapped power to your drill?... eh, thumbs down for either not providing enough info, or just simply wasting my time... nothing personal...this is cool, just not useful to anyone but you and other people who are looking for ways to kill time watching videos of stuff they will never do.

[@fishinkarts2865]

It's all good. It lasted for a while and was still going strong but I found a used 10 sheet shredder that can do thin cardboard for $3 so I'm using that instead now. Also in my defense the title never said anything about a tutorial. It was more of an idea than an actual useful tool.

[@guyserenko1354]

I made one of these bigger drill and all dont run full blast and drop cardboard into it that how I've broke my setup 3 times now so bake to the drawing board,, but hey no cheaper way to fill garden beds and mulching stuff
