Great product and would definitely recommend to a friend

Well built crusher. I've used at least 1500 cans since last night. This product has very few downsides. If I could give the manufacturer some recommendations. 1. When I lifted the handle all the way up, it hit the wall and damaged it. It looks like there are a few fixes that will prevent this damage. Round off the spine about 1 inch or evenly trim the crescent shape of the part of the handle that touches the wall surface.2. I have big hands and after half a can I got a blister on the outside of

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • Very expensive

I made the mistake of focusing on the overall rating of the reviews instead of looking at the most recent reviews. I also didn't realize that returns are not allowed, which says a lot and would have prevented my purchase. Don't Be Me Like many others, the build quality of my crusher was poor and I had issues with the frame. - The heavy box around the piston was deformed so much that the piston kept getting out of the way and now after a day of use it doesn't sit in the box at all. Also, the…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So far so good

I think this change will result in buyers of your product

The Crusher? We are saving aluminum cans as our local wildlife center uses them to get $$$. We drink a lot of flavored seltzer water, and the cans are piling up fast. The device works well but the cans tend to slide off and eject quite hard. Here is the feedback I gave directly to Pacific Precision Metals: Hello. Drop a line and let us know we've improved your design. I put a piece of non-slip (sticky) material in the area of the device where I want the glass to be crushed. With the addition of

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Not the best

Excellent unit, much better after a few mods

I read the reviews and decided to make some of the mods suggested and use an alternative mounting method. We are very satisfied with the device and it has paid for itself several times in a very short time. First I reinforced the two pivots with washers, nuts and bolts. A reviewer's hinge fell apart, mine will never happen. The rest fall apart first. Second, I used a Knipex pliers wrench to make a slight upward curve or "edge" to the front edge of the platform where the cans will be crushed. A…

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • Not sure

Product Defect - Revain does not accept returns for this item

With all the 4 and 5 star reviews, I ordered this product with high expectations. Unfortunately, the device I received was defective. One side of the device is bent outwards, causing several problems: 1) The hinge on that side does not work smoothly. Instead, it hangs and creates resistance as the handle moves. 2) The piston rod is twisted as shown in the photo. This causes the plunger to get stuck on one side, effectively getting stuck inside the device. The product is unusable as it is. When…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Does not fit all
