McKay 12 oz. Heavy-Duty Wall-Mounted Metal Can Crusher - Smashes Cans with Ease!

Don B.Don B.: This is amazing. It was simple to install as it went on the garage wall stud beside the recycle bin. The unit ordered was the same colour as the wall so it does not stand out. Simple to operate.

S. Turner: Works great, but the screws included for mounting it to the wall were lousy. Had to get better ones. Otherwise happy with this purchase.

Elizabeth Weathers: Rinse your cans, crush 'em, when you get a large/ex-large garbage bag full either take them to your recycling center or leave the bag sitting outside of your garbage can. The man who picks up my garbage recycles them and gets a few bucks and the aluminum continues its rotation back into use and out of the garbage fill/ocean.

Stefan C.: I had one of the previous iterations of this can crusher (almost the same design and I’m not sure if it was the same manufacturer), but this one is way better.

This crusher seems very sturdy built and has a very smooth action when pulling down to crush the can. The mechanism does not get stuck (like the other one) anywhere and pulls down nice and easy. There is also a ripped rubber pad at the bottom to keep the cans in place while crushing ( the other one had cans come sometimes fly at me).

The handle has a nice grip and is attached with screws (not bolts) that are very sturdy.

Installation was also super easy, as screws and wall anchors were included.

Overall a useful simple device to help you with your recycling efforts.

Jason Dunbar: Overall good product, the paint seems to come off a little easier than I'd like and the hole in the center can cause the cans to sometime get stuck after a piece will go into the center, but other than that it works great every single time. It was very easy to install, looks good, no unnecessary pieces and the flag paint job looks good. I would recommend and I havent had a can it had issues with.

Robert Menz: Very easy to Install a few screws all done and then add can and pull on the leaver - a little hack is to pinch the top of the coke or beer can then pull the leaver down you then have very little resistance.

Clair: I recently purchased the McKay 12 oz. Metal Can Crusher and it has exceeded my expectations. The heavy-duty wall-mounted smasher is perfect for crushing aluminum cans and bottles for recycling. The black finish looks great in my kitchen and the compact design takes up very little space.

The crusher is very easy to use and can easily crush cans and bottles with minimal effort. The soft grip handle makes it comfortable to hold and the sturdy construction ensures it will last for years to come. Plus, the fact that it can handle both cans and bottles is a huge plus for me.

One thing I appreciate about this product is that it helps me reduce the amount of waste I produce. By crushing cans and bottles, I can fit more into my recycling bin and do my part for the environment. It's a win-win situation!

Overall, I highly recommend the McKay 12 oz. Metal Can Crusher for anyone looking for an efficient and durable way to recycle their aluminum cans and bottles. It's well worth the investment!

Paul C: The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this to reduce the size of the cans in our recycling container since we are on an every-other week pickup schedule. I opted for the 12 oz. size because we only buy 12 oz soda or sparkling water cans - I don't drink beer from cans and rarely have to worry about over-sized cans.
Before purchasing, I disappointingly noticed the vast majority of manual crushers have the same exact look, functionality and construction, so I honestly picked this brand for no reason other than price.
I'll provide my experience and hopefully give a feel for how it works and the best way to make use of it. Before crushing, it's best to SLIGHTLY dent each side of the can using light hand pressure (a slight squeeze with your thumb and finger on each side, using only enough pressure to cause 2 small dents). I noticed that over-crushing results in an non-uniform and deformed crush. Not denting it at all will actually work, but will put additional stress on the crusher. Like most things in life, moderation and logistics are key. Trust me, the slightly-dented method works best. If you follow these suggestions, this should last for a long while. If you're an...
