Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of information destruction and electronic equipment recycling. A device for destroying hard drives comprises a base with three stops attached thereto and a rod-shaped perforating element with a sharpening at the working end. The device is equipped with a pressure lever, two rod-shaped perforating elements with a sharpening at the working end, a spring, and two parallel posts with openings in the upper portion, attached to the base, into which a solid threaded axle is screwed. The pressure lever is mounted on a solid axle, onto which nuts are screwed to prevent its displacement. Two rod-shaped perforating elements are located on the pressure lever. The spring is welded to a cross plate located on the pressure lever. The technical result of the utility model is an expansion of the arsenal of technical means. 3 fig.
