shredders

Paper trail enders

Shredders are machines that cut materials into small pieces.

Paper shredders destroy confidential documents; industrial shredders process wood, tires, or metal.

In informal use, a shredder is someone who shreds—especially a guitarist playing fast, technically demanding solos or a skateboarder, snowboarder, or surfer performing aggressive maneuvers: That kid is an absolute shredder on the halfpipe.
