Shipping labels and receipts are usually heat transfer paper. You could just run a lighter or an iron on them and they turn all black. Best method for clearing info from them
Or just leave them in the sun. Hell, I have receipts in my wallet that are completely gone, and those were the ones I wanted to keep (for guarantees, etc). They just fade out over time.
I use a fat black permanent Sharpie marker that does the job. I have a letter opener like his that I have been using for 20 years and it STILL works great.
Sometimes I find that Sharpies's have the same problem as this thing when the ink drys. I find that a good old ball point pen works great because it will also damage the surface on the shipping label and really make it hard to read.
Try holding it horizontal to the paper instead of at an angle when applying it. Also, for the receipt. I use to get rid of private info such as CC numbers etc by just holding a lighter under 5 inches under them. They are printed on thermal paper. It will permanently make the receipt unreadable. On a side note, these products probably bring more attention to the blocked out part since anyone who comes around them might be curious as to what you were trying to hide. LMAO. Just use a crosscut shredder. It's cheaper and works 100%.
Love your dedication by finding another one at your local store; would be curious to know what percentage of people receive a dud like the first one you tried.
Thanks for reviewing these. I was curious about whether these devices actually works. Seems like a reasonably priced shredder is a better long-term solution.
I have a letter opener like yours that I rec'd w/some promo crap on it. I was able to take the cover off and replaced their promo with my son's kindergarten school picture. That might not seem important, but it is. It has been used daily (both at work & at home) for a lot of mail & it's still going. My son is now 32½ years old. So for 27 years its been working great! I've never needed to sharpen it or try to replace the blade. As for getting rid of personal info, I'll stick to my good ole cross cut shredder 🙂. Thanks for the review!
You can also hit paper with different wavelengths of light and the inks will separate in color. With UV, you might even be able to see the base text as well as if it was not obscured at all.
Good point. Like using an infrared camera to peer through smoke. Some materials that appear transparent or opaque in visible light might be just the opposite in other wavelengths.
I wonder what would happen if you used a different type of ink? Permanent liquid inks are used to refill things like fountain pens, stamp pads and color copiers. The refills usually come in a bottle, with an injector syringe that would most likely work with the Blade Blocker. The concept is a good one. It's a shame the ink is the problem.
I'll stick to shredding my mail. But for packages, no more peeling labels for me. I got this little thermal correction fluid thing on Temu for $1.28 that works like magic and also comes with a little blade for opening packages. And you can screw on new fluid refills as well.

a lot of people suggested burning, paper shredder, also just want to point out, you could also get manual shredder scissors, for example the sunstar shredder scissor or other shredder scissor for cutting out things that won't go into a paper shredder
I bought one of these on wish 2 years ago for $2 and it's still going strong. It had xoxo pattern and after a few swipes its good. But I never thought of buying a shredder until I saw a comment on this video lol Amazon here I come!
I have the original one. For me, it works about the same as yours. I have found a permanent black marker works better. I have a letter opener similar to your old one, which rarely fails me. Thanks for the video review, James!!!
I shred stuff, put that paper or card into buckets of water to soak, the resulting pulpy mush is then formed into bricks and left to dry so I can use them in either my stove or fireplace. Ink as a coverup relies on the assumption that the inks have the same recipe, different companies have different black ink. Then of course there the thermal paper like receipts which are probably better popped into a warm oven or wafted with a hairdryer so the whole thing darkens.
Seems like all they did was give it a slight redesign to incorporate a so so letter opener blade. As for the uneven cut i am not bothered by it so long as the contents are undamaged.
This is definitely one of the silly things. You can't wipe off a shredder and I love my old fixed-blade (dull) gold stiletto knife letter opener that always works clean.
@12:15 You can just run a hot iron over it (or any hot surface will do) it's thermal paper.... it blackens when it gets hot, this is what it's designed for....... also paper that is print with a laser printer will always be readable because the ink (toner) is fused on top of the paper even when it's inked over you will always see the letters shine through when light deflects on it...... the address label on the box is probably printed with thermal transfer this also leaves a plastic like inprint behind much like the laser printer...
I bought this little thing off of Temu and it works great! I honestly don't know how it works but when you roll it over it's not black... the ink just disappears. And it was only like a couple bucks.
@@uhm175 No more so than any other method, and quicker than most. Not to mention 100% effective. I have yet to see someone bring a document back from ashes that have been flushed down the drain.
A cross cut paper shredder is about as secure as you can go to protect yourselves from thieves. This includes removing shipping labels and any snail mail address on envelopes, etc.
Even before starting the test, it was obvious that the Blade Blocker will be a worse letter opener. But I was surprised how bad it was. And for the main purpose - why not just burn the paper or shred it and use it for something else?
For most things a paper shredder is the best way to fight identity theft. But there are things that you can't or shouldn't put through a shredder (like the adhesive address labels on boxes). It seems this doesn't work on those labels.
I just use a shredder for junk mail and as for the amazon labels a lighter works perfectly because the labels are thermal, just don't burn the box. You can just peel off the label and then burn it. If you're not into using fire then stick it on something then run it through a shredder.
Like it even matters. Your name and address are not exactly private information. anyone who wants it can get it. And anyone who wants it for bad purposes probably has it.
Not sure having two features that barely work is a big improvement on having one feature that doesn't work.😆😆 I'd use a Sharpie, prolly...and a knife/letter-opener.
Weird combo-a device that can’t do glossy thermal paper that you find on packages, but can do regular letters. Along with a blade that can’t open letters, but can open boxes. Half of each, but not particularly useful for each one thing
My dad just used a regular wide black marker and then just put the items through the shredder. I really don't care how the envelope looks after I cut it open. I only care if I can open it.
Rocking that beard! The only positive take away from this. James gets credit for being willing to give it a fair shake, just as bad as the first version.
Receipts are printed with lasers on thermal paper. So if you really wanna hide what's on it, you can easily heat it with something like a hair dyer, or even the exhaust of your car to completely blackout the paper. But, I mean, it's paper, you could just rip it up
The demographic they're going for is so confusing. A simple Sharpie is not good enough (despite probably being more effective, let alone cheaper), buuut you also don't want to spend the same amount of money on a paper shredder? The blade is hilarious though, might as well use kitchen knife. I also tear most of my mail along the side, rather than the top - It makes filing way easier.
Get a small bucket by the door. Put junk there, once every other week burn it and enjoy the primal pleasure of seeing something burn. Most of us rarely see fire in real life, outside of gas stoves.
I've had cheap versions of this and I think they only really work on paper that absorbs a lot....a sharpie works better until these things get their stuff together and did what they say
if people are so worried about info theft why not just burn the papers? that's what I do doller store (or equivalent cheap stuff store) pot + bic lighter = no prob literally cost less than $8
I feel like they didnt bother testing their new updated version but they just needed to scam us 1 more time before they go bankrupt 😂😊 That or they were out of paper 😂😂
I don't understand why they put a pattern on the stamp at all. The most efficient way to make sure you're making the text unreadable is to make sure it's *all* black. Putting a pattern on it with blank space makes no sense.
I just use a regular sharpie marker to black out my name, address and account numbers etc. If it's really sensitive information, i shred it well with my scissors. I don't normally have enough private documents to destroy. If I did, I'd just buy a paper shredder. At work, I use a long, metal letter opener, and a box cutter. No need for a special, expensive tool. At home, i don't open enough mail to warrant any special tool...a kitchen knife or sissirs works a charm.
I still don't understand why people who are worried enough to buy a product like this won't just buy a shredder. I have a $60 micro cut shredder that has lasted me 8 years now and it goes through credit cards and discs as well.
I have several ink rollers to use on envelopes to send back the constant junk mail I get. Alcohol markers get expensive. They were great on typed envelopes. But the ones with the windows, not do much. You could see our address. You have to completely blacken out the address and the auto stamp under it. Or it just get returned to you. I get over 30 charities wanting money. I fill up two garbage bags weekly from junk mail. I've called, I've listed, done everything I possibly can. Ain't working. So now I just send it back. I figure after a while they might stop wasting their time and money.

Isopropyl alcohol also does the trick albeit more expensive.

Great high quality video as always. I was wondering though; wouldn't it have been simpler to just run a marker to block out the info?
I live in the mountains and we have a burn barrel. I bet the burn barrel does a better job of obfuscating text than any ink stamp.

Shred the mail and put it in spaghetti. Resurrecting it would be messy. Adds fiber to the diet.
Just get a big Sharpie (I like my button action large tip) and draw over both sides of the paper where the text appears.
I don't understand why they put a pattern on the stamp at all. The most efficient way to make sure you're making the text unreadable is to make sure it's *all* black. Putting a pattern on it with blank space makes no sense.
