What makes Crosscut Shredding better than Strip Cut?

For years the only shredder most people were able to buy was the strip cut paper shredder. Now cross-cut paper shredders are all the rage.  So why is that?  Security is the reason why.

What makes crosscut or confetti machines more secure than the traditional strip cut?
The way it cuts the pieces into shreds. Strip cut paper shredders shred only one way. Crosscut shreds in both directions thus making a smaller shred; which greatly increases security.

What about cost? Strip cut shredders have always been cheaper than crosscut shredders; but things are changing. With technological advances, the price of crosscut has substantially decreased, now making it possible for every house and office to have one. In fact, they are quickly becoming office staples because of the rise in identity theft.

What about features? You can now find new features on most shredders. Some are guaranteed not to jam, while others have advanced safety features making it safer for the home office with kids and pets. Some also auto-oil which is great for those of us who forgets to routinely oil their paper shredders.
