Customer Reviews

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.

Can Squirter
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.

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.
