12oz/16oz Pneumatic Can Crusher by Telerabbit: Crush Aluminum Cans for Recycling

Noel Murphy: It's obnoxiously loud with the air blast that shoots the crushed can out the side/bottom. My only issue it that cans get stuck quite often..maybe 1 out of 5.and I almost forgot, the very small line adapter that blasts the cans out is VERY weak and will break off with very little force when attaching it.

Paul Seitz: Mounted this on the wall where my old manual can crusher was and my arm is greatly relieved. Got a bulkhead fitting and a coil of 6mm pneumatic tubing and ran an airline to the crusher! Now so easy just connect the air hose to the nipple sticking out of the wall and I am ready to go. No pulling the air hose across the garage and no coiling up the air hose when done. Just disconnect from the wall and I am done. I should have done this years ago.

Amazon Customer: The can crusher itself is pretty nifty. The air ejector works about 85% of the time but sometimes you have to reach your hand in to pull the can out when it fails to blow it out. For sure the best improvement that could be made would be for the manufacturer to use some higher quality tubing. The black plastic-like tubing that comes with the crusher will not stand 100 psi if it gets hot (e.g. 100F outdoor temp).
I had three separate blowouts in the first week that left the air compressor running for hours. I have since installed a shut-off valve so that when I leave I can turn the air off and I have replaced all of the black tubing with much higher pressure rated white tubing

Jonathan thomas: Works great saves me time and no more sore feet lol it does get jammed sometimes but is much better than having to step on the cans

Dale Noble: The media could not be loaded.  Perfect for the man cave , works as it should , but I do find the odd can will need a little assistance to escape after being crushed if the can had previously been squeezed by a hand but other than that it great , recommend

Update : after using the can crusher I find out after the local sarcan will not accept cans after being crushed from top to bottom , ya so total waste of money , I don’t understand it , they say it’s that they can’t tell where it came from when it’s crushed from top to bottom , but last time I looked all bud light cans say Quebec right on the top , sooooooooo what’s the problem ?

Ben Tanko: I like that this can crusher can be mounted flush on a wall. The air blast that ejects the crushed can is neat but a tad buggy. There's enough room to reach in and remove the can if need be. There is a window to see and keep splashing from coming toward you as well.

As far as the negative parts go, the main complaint is that the air lines leak some and the little screws (m4*5) that are used to assemble the body are quite soft. The holes are not aligned well because the actuator panel isn't bent quite right. A little squeeze during assembly will suffice but watch out for cross-threading. I erred due to emptying cans while assembling and missed a detail from the pics used to assemble the crusher. Just make sure to keep the air line couplers, (PL6-02) facing outside when attaching the cylinder to the mount. The pic doesn't show a 180 degree flip after inserting the two PL6-02 couplers. Not a big deal but annoying if overlooked. The manufacturer included teflon tape so make sure to cover all the threads on air couplers to minimize the leaks. These leaks don't harm the way the crusher works but does make the compressor work a tad harder if you are leaving air supplied when not...

AnthonyAnthony: I was tired of being surrounded by uncrushed cans and having to crush them by hand very slowly. The manual crusher i have only works with regular 12 oz cans so i needed something else. I was checking out some of the more generic pneumatic can crushers and happened to come across this one. I wanted my kids to be able to use it without supervision and this one looked perfect because of the safety glass. I was a little hesitant because of the cheap price and lack of reviews but went ahead and bought it.

I just installed it today. You need 5mm id x 8mm od tubing for the push to connect fitting that comes with the crusher. On the other end I attached a male thread 1/4" npt plug to a female thread 1/4" barbed MIP fitting. I was going to use a 3/16" barb fitting but thought it was not tight enough so i went with the 1/4", you really have to force it into the tubing so beware of that. I then hooked into my compressor and I was ready to crush. The installation was pretty simple and came with step by step instructions. The only negative thing i will say is that there was a slight leak in the outlet fitting that comes already installed but that is no big deal at all.
