The Ozito Rapid Shredder is a complete and utter WOFTAM, but it's bigger brother the Ozito Silent Shredder is a great piece of shredding kit. There's also a similar Ryobi version.
The majority of my pruning on our rural property is done with a chainsaw. Anything less than an inch goes through my Silent Shredder for mulch, above that size it is firewood/kindling. I used to just make heaps with the prunings and either leave them to rot away or torch them but in a desire to save the planet, ever since I got the Silent Shredder some 10 years ago it all goes to mulch, or firewood.
The Silent Shredder has a cog which slowly rotates against a plate and turns dry, hard sticks into chunks, moister stuff is sort of pleated and a trailer piled high full of freshly cut stuff can be converted to a wheelie bin full.
