Heavy-Duty 12 oz. Pit Bull Can Crusher in Silver for Effortless Recycling

Cole Whitaker: It worked great for about a month and then the handle got so bent that it was no longer useable. The handle should be made of something stronger.

FidgetNFix: I screwed this inside the pantry cabinet. It mounts easy. I put a bag for cans only and it filled up quickly. Amazing that it’s put so many cans into a good small bag. Now the recycle bag doesn’t fill up as fast. Score!!!!

Joe B: We've crushed at least 20 (30 gallon size) bags of cans with this and it's still going strong. I do recommend a small drop of 3-in-1 oil at the joints now and then to keep down on friction. The little foam grip on the handle didn't last very long, but I put a piece of rubber tubing on to replace it.

Update: 12/13/17 This thing is still crushing cans with ease! I thought, with the rivets and all, it would be trashed by now. This may be the best mechanical device I've ever purchased. Upgrading to a 5 star. Hats off to you pit bull.

Addison J. Reese: We all know how this works by now; You always get exactly what you pay for.

That being said, this product does the job it is intended to do. The handle construction is slightly flimsy and the mounting system could be better. There are three holes at the top of the crusher, but there is only one at the bottom which can cause some rocking at the bottom when crushing a can if you put any sideways torque on it. Just take care when using the handle and you shouldn't have any issues. If you are handy and have a drill you can add some extra mounting holes at the bottom to stop this torquing problem. The best piece of advice I can give you is to make sure that you are mounting this in the center on a stud and not simply directly into drywall.

The primary con to this crusher is that it only fits standard "soda" can sized 12 oz. cans. The mouths opening is 5" fully open and 1" fully closed. You will not be able to use this for any kind of larger energy drink can or the taller/skinnier style beer can, so keep this is your cross check when buying a crusher. Giving those a mild twist and crush before using this product will help it fit inside the crusher however.

Either...
