McKay 16 oz. Metal Can Crusher, Heavy-Duty Wall-Mounted Smasher for Aluminum Seltzer, Soda, Beer Cans and Bottles for Recycling - Black

This can crusher is exactly what I was looking for. The metal construction feels sturdy and durable, and it makes crushing 12- and 16-ounce cans much easier than doing them by hand.The wall-mounted design is convenient and saves space. Once installed securely, the crusher has plenty of leverage and makes quick work of a pile of cans. It also helps reduce the amount of space cans take up in the recycling bin.I like the simple design—no complicated parts or unnecessary features, just a solid tool that gets the job done. The black finish also looks clean and holds up well with regular use.Overall, excellent build quality, easy to operate, and a great addition for anyone who goes through a lot of cans. Definitely recommend it for heavy-duty recycling.

I bought the McKay Can Crusher/Smasher because I was getting embarrassed by the racket of all my empty beer cans clanging around when dumping them into the recycling bin. Enough was enough – instead of cutting back on beer, I decided to tackle the can situation head-on with this crusher.And wow, this thing is a lifesaver! Not only does it crush each can down to about 1-inch thick, saving me tons of space in the recycling bin, but it also makes the process super quiet. I can fit way more cans in the grey bin after they’ve been crushed, and the built-in bottle opener is a nice added bonus.The crusher is solidly built, with sturdy steel arms and a comfortable, cushion-grip handle. It’s easy to use and works on both 16 oz. and 12 oz. cans, plus plastic bottles. Now, I don’t have to feel guilty about my beer intake since the recycling process is so much more efficient. Happy days!The only minor issue I’ve noticed after all this use is that the handle doesn’t always stay upright anymore. Not a huge deal, though, as it still looks fine whether it’s up or down.

Been using this for a few months now, works great! It's easy to clean if someone doesn't rinse a can out, my 6 year old can do it no problem too. It feels a little loose, like you can move the handle left and right a bit, but it hasn't seemed to negatively impact it at all. Love doing this instead of trying to do it with my foot.UPDATE - So, multiple months later, and many many cans, it's not holding up as nicely anymore. The handle no longer stays up, it's down all the time. While it still crushes cans, it feels looser now than before, and I'm a little scared about it. Still works, though.

I purchased this McKay 16oz can crusher in 2022, and it has been a staple on our deck ever since. If you are looking for a high-value tool that can handle heavy use, this is a very durable choice.Performance & Ease of Use:Four years later, it is still fully functional. The design is simple and effective, making the grind speed (or crushing speed) very fast—you can knock out a whole bag of cans in minutes. It is incredibly easy to use, requiring very little effort to pull the handle, provided it is mounted securely. Honestly, it’s actually pretty fun to use, and there’s a certain satisfaction in how well it flattens everything from standard soda cans to taller 16oz varieties.Durability & Value:To be fair, we have this mounted outside on our deck. While it’s a great value for the money because it is mechanically indestructible, the aesthetics haven't fared as well. The paint is flaking and chipping off significantly, and rust is becoming prevalent in several areas. I expected the finish to be a bit more weather-resistant, especially since these are often mounted in garages, shops, or outdoor spaces.Verdict:Structurally, it’s a 5-star tool. If you plan to keep it outside, just be prepared for the finish to wear. Mechanically, it operates nearly as well as the day we received it.

Lo compré especialmente para latas de refresco, sin embargo, quería probarlo para latas de verduras y sopas... no logra hacerles nada. evidentemente son mas gruesas, pero tenia esperanza. Logra su cometido, tambien con botellas de plástico. Excelente compra.
