USB-Powered CD Destroyer Mauls a Disc in Five Seconds August 22, 2007

Read more Gadgets

Keep that schoolmarm from perusing your porn with this USB-powered CD destroyer from Brando. In just five seconds, this hungry beast renders any CD or DVD unreadable, grinding in devastating circular scratches and resulting in a strangely beautiful coaster that reminds us of a Spirograph.

It even includes a leather case for destroying CDs on the go. Sure beats breaking up a CD into little pieces, resulting in glass-like shards that might actually be able to draw blood.

Believe it or not, some desperate dweebs rummage around in the trash looking for things like old CDs and DVDs, hoping that perhaps a bit of financial data might have been carelessly left on board. If you keep such data on removable medias, this mutha might be worth a $29 investment. -Charlie White

What's wrong with just snapping the CD in half before you chuck it away?

This device comes as standard with most Xbox 360's.

Snapping a CD in half can sometimes result in shards of sharp plastic which are dangerous as they could get in your eyes, I've even seen a CD when snapped broken into a million sharp glass like peices.

er.. yeh...

1) put cd in a plastic bag
2) snap CD into pieces.
3) empty bag contents into bin
4) repeat.

CD + microwave = pretty and effective
10 seconds, not bad going

someone snapped a cd near me once and got a corneal abrasion... not serious but bloody annoying for a couple of days (patch, eye drops...)

I usually just cut a cd in half using scissors--this avoids the shards of sharp plastic problem.
