 can crusher March 5, 2008

This was definitely a good buy. Very sturdy. Expect it to last a really long time. When it does eventually where out, if I'm still around, I'll look for exactly the same thing.

Heavy-Duty, Effortless Can Crusher for Recycling - Lifetime Warranty
I don't have such upper body strength and mounted the crusher to push down on. Great, but the can kept slipping out of the crusher, and without me risking my digits to hold it in, it wouldn't work. (possible lawsuit somewhere)! I had an AH HA moment and found one of those 6" round rubber graspers to open cans with. Cut it up, super glued it to the top of the bottom and the bottom of the top and the cans are flat as a flitter without sliding out. So update your product to rubberize the crusher. (I would like to share in the profits if it works) :*)
And I am an advertiser . . . I just can't help it! It would behoove your product!
Works fairly well, but rivets are getting loose... July 10, 2008
Kristina Thompson (Omaha, NE)
When we first got this can crusher about five years ago it worked great and we were very happy. We did find that it works best if you crimp the can a little before you set it in to make crushing easier.
Over time however the rivets holding the base that you set the can on have gotten loose and the base now pitches downward a bit. The result of this is that the can often tries to slip out or occasionally is even "shot" out of the crusher. I beaned a window salesman once this way. Oops!
The rivets on the arm are also getting loose. Still, it has lasted about five years now and may continue to serve many more years.
The idea suggested my Mary Lynn sounds brilliant! I can't wait to try it out. It will almost certainly solve our projectile can problems.
-------------------------
Update: July 24, 2008
The rivets holding the handle have broken off, so it is challenging to crush any cans now between holding the handle together and trying to keep the can from firing out from between the jaws of the can crusher. At least it is never boring. I would downgrade the product to two stars but the rating system does not seem to allow this change.
Our household will be trying a different can crusher system this month.
 the worst thing ever April 15, 2008

Just possibly, this is the worst thing I have ever bought. We have owned this for two months, and we crush a good amount of cans. The metal that makes up the crushing mechanism (the joints) is weak and almost immediately broke. So, of course, we tried to fix it with pliers. This made no difference. The main hinge bent beyond all recognition and has rendered this thing useless. Had I saved the receipt from the retail store we bought it from, I would have been elated to return it. I'm logging on really just to buy the Crusher so that I can have something that works.
Not worth the money May 5, 2008

I bought 3 of these, all 3 of these have failed at the joints, also the pull arms are weak and bend when used over time. Plan on replacing them every 3-4 months.
