Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 16oz Can Crusher
Customer Review: cheap product, broke within 10 minutes of first use, don't buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
If I could give this product 0 stars I would. I just received this can crusher today, hung it up on the garage wall and started crushing pepsi and beer cans, within less than 10 minutes the lever arms bent and after straightening them out as much as I could a few times and continuing to crush more cans the right side rivet holding the handle snapped and the handle broke off. Box says Heavy Gauge steel, I don't think that includes the lever portion of the unit. Cheap shoddy product got it's *ss whooped by a few pepsi cans. I'll look for a heavy duty nylon can crusher like the EasyPull brand one I used to have but unfortunately left behind at my old residence when I moved, it lasted me for years and years.Customer Review: So-So Crusher

Like others have said, it will break, belying the "Heavy Duty" tag. Ours lasted about 3 years (6 - 10 cans/day) before the rivet connecting the handle to the lever arm failed. Even when new, it wouldn't crush cans very flat, so I often stacked two crushed cans together and ran through another cycle to really flatten them. Before it failed, it would also squirt the cans out the front unless you held them in place. I'm trying the Pacific Precision Metals #77701 next because of the large number of rave reviews for that product.Customer Review: Junk

Thought I'd save a few bucks over the STL, which I'd used a lot at my parent's house, and I regret it. First it wouldn't crush a can anywhere near flat so I put a piece of 1/2" plywood in the bottom. Next the hinge pins are really loose and I have to concentrate on keeping it in line when pulling it down and I don't think it'll last long the way those pins are angled and getting pulled. Last the cans rarely come out in a neat slug like the STL does, they're bent over and torn and just a mess. Don't touch this piece of junk.Customer Review: Disappointed!

I ordered Large Capacity 16 Oz Heavy-Duty Can Crusher for Recycling - Lifetime Warranty and found the experience disappointing. It tends to bind when you pull the lever downward and puts great pressure on the mount. The back tip of the lever arm, where it attaches to the body of the device gouges the wall it's attached to because it's not flush with the back of the device. All in all it's a poor design and will not hold up to real use. What was I thinking?Customer Review: Can Squirter
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot recommend this product. The design feature of sloped surfaces which is touted to permit the easy expulsion of the crushed product work indeed to expel the can before it is crushed. I have chased too many partially crumbled cans under my car in the garage so I am in the process of replacing this crusher with one that has crushing surfaces at 90 deg. to the length of the can.
It does have a nice rubber grip.
