Review on πŸ”΅ McKay 12 oz. Metal Can Crusher – Heavy-Duty Wall-Mounted Smasher for Aluminum Seltzer, Soda, Beer Cans, and Bottles – Recycling Tool in Blue by Lisa Varela

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2500 doses and still works great!

On all the comments about it being junk and broken, I've just run about 2500 cans through mine (quarantine has been tough) and I have a few thoughts. First, it worked. Second, I lubricated it first because I knew it needed a lot of lubricating, which is why I recommend it. I only used lock lube. It still works and costs $17. By all means, go for the larger one because glasses come in all shapes and sizes these days and you won't regret it. Yes, the paint has peeled off a bit and the rubber was a little torn with all that sharp aluminum, but that all saves you from cutting your hands. My only real complaint is that the handle tends to fall off when mounted on the wall. This can be fixed by simply tilting the top of the breaker, or by placing a small 2x4 section between the breaker and the wall to allow the handle to swing back. And finally, to the people who complain about having to dent the can first, do you understand that the can is specifically designed to be as strong as possible? You can literally stand with your full weight on an empty can and it will hold you until you hit the side of the can, at which point it will be crushed. It takes a lot of effort to crush an intact can, but the slightest mistake crushes it easily. This will only make it harder for you and the crusher not to give it a small dent. Personally, I still puree all my beers to keep track of mine. Hope this review helps if you are on the fence.
