Gadget for making kindling blocks / fire lighters from old newspaper?

Somewhere in one of the millions of catalogues last Christmas, I saw a nifty little gadget that you put your old crumpled newspaper into, pull the lever and it crushes the paper into a little brick to use as kindling.

I'm googling my fingers to the bone here and I can't find anything like it.

Any ideas?

And if you're as stumped as I am, how about giving me some googling search terms that I may not have thought of?

Try this

This is what my SIL and BIL use, and it is fab (they even treated me to a little demonstration on how to make them last time I was there )

ooo I like the sound of ones that can be used as kindling (still prefer my coal for the "actual" fire) especially as we completely fill our recycling bin every fortnight.......most with paper........

Oh you wonderful wonderful people!

I posted the OP, raced off to rescue irate dd from nap-time woes and half an hour later I come back to find no fewer than SIX links to exactly what I want!

Thank you thank you!
