Pure Leverage Crushers
We have been in the computer hardware industry since 1990. Leverage Crushers LLC was organized in 2010. We saw the problems in the industry with hard drive data security. Companies need to ensure complete and total hard drive destruction for data protection. And it was very expensive to use time and materials to Wipe the drives. We learned that it is more economical to destroy hard drives than to try and wipe them.
You know the risks. It’s been all over the news with stories of people finding data on hard drives purchased at thrift stores and on eBay. Companies can’t afford the bad press or the risks of losing company data. Worse, the liability of losing data which is regulated and designated as private or protected. (See Regulations page).

Why Choose Us
Pure Leverage Hard Drive Crushers
The automated solutions for data destruction that exist on the market today are too slow, too cumbersome and too expensive, costing thousands of dollars. So we set out to create a simple data destruction device that was durable, portable, effective and affordable.
We did just that! The Pure Leverage hard Drive Crusher destroys the enclosure, but most importantly bends the disks, and cracks the circuit boards. Even a small about of bend prevents the read/write heads from ever “flying” over the surface of the media without gouging. It would be impossible to flatten them so perfectly that they could ever be read again. Drives are destroyed and data is protected.
We Are Proud of Our Repeat Customers
These are Actual Customers, most of which have purchased Crushers more than once.

WHY DESTROY DATA STORAGE DEVICES? THIS IS WHY WE DO IT.
You may have reasons for keeping a stockpile of old hard drives; Procrastination, fear of the need to access expired data someday, or concern about outsourcing the destruction. Whatever your concern, it is no replacement for the facts. So here are five reasons you should destroy your old data media.
1.Data Security
Old hard drives and Cell Phones are a security liability. A single device can store thousands of confidential data files, and electronic data can be compromised even when it’s out-of-date or the device it’s stored on is inoperable.
Deleting digital files from a device doesn’t completely obliterate the data. With the right tools and software, identity thieves and criminals bent on business fraud can still extract information from a hard drive. Physical destruction is the best way to lower your company’s data breach risks.
2. Legal Compliance
Data breach consequences include fines and even criminal prosecution for failing to protect consumer information. Each of the following laws require organizations to safeguard personal, health and financial records from unauthorized access:
HIPAA – GLB – FACTA
Destroying your hard drives helps keep your business compliant with these privacy regulations.
3. Cost Savings
In addition to fines and other costs associated with a breach, don’t overlook the cost of storing old backup media. Every square inch counts when you’re paying for office space. Hoarding outdated computers and storage media means there’s less room for revenue-generating activities.
Some organizations may consider wiping data from the hard drives with special software, but paying for the employees to do that work, and setting up equipment to do so is expensive. The costs of wiping a hard drive (employee time, equipment and software), is actually more than the value of a new replacement device.
Incorporate regular hard drive destruction and recycling into your data security plan to maximize profitability.
4. Client Trust
You work hard to gain the trust of your customers and wouldn’t want to throw it away by compromising their data. Having your old hard drives securely destroyed ensures total information privacy for your customers and your business.
5. Brand and Reputation Protection
Besides creating a whirlwind of legal and financial problems for your business, stolen data can permanently damage your corporate brand and reputation. Some businesses never fully recover from a corporate data breach because of the punishing costs and destruction of the brand.
Media destruction keeps your information safe so consumers continue buy products and services from a company they know and respect.
Don’t let excuses get in the way of protecting your information. Destroying your old hard drives is too important.
