The dog days of summer are here which means
that the new school year isn't far behind. Whether you're heading back
to high school or are working on your college degree, there are a number
of items you can use to make this school year the best one yet. Here
are five helpful gadgets you should check out:
The GBC BindMate. It's
important to make your papers and reports look their best. Luckily,
it's easy to do so with the GBC BindMate. This device can produce a
three-hole pattern so you can store your work in binders. It also works
as a comb binding machine and it can bind work that's up to 125 pages
long. The BindMate is very compact and it even has a carrying handle for
easy transport. This device comes with a 1-year warranty.
The Fellowes Mars ML-95 pouch laminator.
At some point, you may need to laminate something, such as materials
for an art project. That's why the Fellowes Mars ML-95 is a good thing
to have around. This pouch laminator can process items that are up to 9"
wide and it can laminate a letter-sized document in less than a minute.
The Mars ML-95 won't jam up on you very often and it's small enough to
fit on your desk. This laminator is also affordable and is backed by a
1-year warranty.
The Swingline Tot stapler.
Instead of getting a heavy stapler for your desk, you should get the
Swingline Tot instead. This is one of the smallest staplers available so
you can carry it with you to class. The Tot can staple 12 sheets of
paper at once and it comes in a few metallic colors so it looks great.
This device is compatible with Swingline S.F. 4 premium staples and it
has a built-in staple remover which is really convenient. Also, the Tot
has a clip so you can attach it to your backpack for easy access.
The Fellowes P-35C paper shredder.
Having a paper shredder can help you protect your identity and make it
easier to recycle. If you don't have a shredder, the Fellowes P-35C is a
great choice. This device can shred 5 sheets at once and it's small
enough to fit under your desk. The P-35C can shred credit/debit cards
and it has a safety lock to prevent unauthorized use. This is one of the
more affordable shredders on the market and its cutters are covered by a
3-year warranty.
The Swingline Compact electric pencil sharpener.
If you still use pencils, you need a reliable pencil sharpener such as
this device from Swingline. This sharpener runs on two AA batteries and
it also comes with an A/C adapter so you can plug it into the wall if
you want. Also, this device operates quietly and it has a lead-saver
feature so you can extend the life of your pencil. This sharpener's
warranty lasts for 2 years.
Those
are five helpful gadgets for the new school year. Be sure to check them
out so you can make the most out of the year. Good luck!
