"Top tip: changing the ink pad" star star star star star To put in a new ink pad, slightly depress the Hide ID mechanism (as if you're stamping something). This releases the stamp and makes it easy to slide the old ink pad out and the new ink pad in. BTW - this is a great product - been using it for years - so sorry that all the negative reviews have led Lakeland to discontinue it. Lakeland still stocks the refill ink pads.
"Really useful" star star star star star I am glad Lakeland are still supplying the refills as I use the stamp regularly. It gives me piece of mind when chucking my personal details in the recycling bin as our area doesn't take shredding. Never stop supplying the refills! I need them!
"Handy product" star star star star star Great value refills to put in the holder. Completely covers any personal information to avoid having to shred documents. Only slight drawback is fiddly to replace so you can end up with black fingers, but easily washable.
"Most Useful" star star star star star I have for some years used this item and would'nt be without it. So so useful.
"Hide ID works" star star star star star_border Very pleased with this. However, I did manage to get the ink over myself and my desk! So now I use on a larger piece of paper to keep my desk clean & only put the envelope into the waste bin when the ink has dried. Occasionally it is necessary to stamp 2 or 3 times if the address is larger than usual. Altogether - brilliant - it cuts down the amount of things I have to put through the shredder, and also cuts down on time as I now stamp correspondence and envelopes as soon as I wish to dispose of them rather than saving them up and having to get out the shredder to get rid of 2 or 3 months of papers!
