" Your trash bin can be a jackpot for identity thieves, which is why you should chop into confetti financial and other personal documents before tossing them. Shredders do the job a lot faster than scissors, but which brands perform best? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute&amp;#039;s engineers evaluated four units to see which could turn paper, stuffed envelopes and credit cards into tiny fragments and chew through staples and paper clips. They also tested to make sure little fingers couldn&amp;#039;t fit into the mouth of the machines. Here, the winners, including Web-exclusive information. The Powershred The Fellowes Powershred DS1 ($99.99; 800-955-0959; www.fellowes.com) was faster than any other shredder tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, eating through a page in less than three seconds. The paper bin was ample and easy to empty (it&amp;#039;s made of a metal mesh so you can see when the basket is full and needs changing). Plus, testers loved the sleek and contemporary look. The MultiShred  Need a space saver? The HSM MultiShred One-4-All ($79.95; 800-613-2110; www.hsmofamerica.com) is small, and the lightest and most portable of the models tested. Still, it&amp;#039;s mighty (this shredder can even cut up CDs). Plus, it was the most secure of the units, cutting materials into the smallest-sized bits (less than 1/4 inch).
