If shredding were cheaper I'd take ALL the records from 1961 through
2001 and dump them into the hopper. Maybe a couple of bales. I wonder
how much it costs to rent a wood chipper...

In one box, that was in a stack up in the garage loft a few feet from
the ski whose binding exploded a couple of years back, I found the
missing spring and a few chunks of plastic that looked like binding.
Maybe that is why that stack fell over.

Atomic? I'll never buy another Atomic product, or even accept one as a
gift.

If you're ever about to be mugged by a couple
of clowns, don't hesitate - go for the juggler.

Shredder? yeah, but then I wouldn't have the gems I found today (I mean besides the binding spring that went missing a few years back) - checkbooks with unused checks in them, one of them for a still-active account, just 2 addresses back; a book of 10-c stamps with one remaining; my FCC First-Class Telecommunications License (expired 1981); the Bennie Suggs certificate from the Navy with receipts for the two checks ($55 and $110) for building a tester for the F-14A Cockpit Voice Junction Box, and which I didn't get until months after I was discharged; an envelope of pictures, faded to red/black, of the first soccer team I coached in 1976.

Atomic bindings? There wasn't a big enough piece left to tell and there is no mfr mark on the spring.
