Tape Degaussers & Erasers

Tape Degaussers & Erasers are popular devices used for destroying data on magnetic storage tapes. By changing the magnetic field on the tape with these devices, the data on the tape can effectively be destroyed. This allows reuse of tapes that don't have prewritten tracks. Tape Degaussers & Erasers are also used to erase the contents of a hard drive, USB thumb drive, smart phone or floppy disk. Degaussing is commonly used to improve the picture resolution on electronic displays. Many displays include an internal coil that will degauss the unit when it is turned on. Display monitors and TV's with cathode tubes are particularly subject to the buildup of magnetic fields.
