bends and breaks in all the wrong places places
We bought the Can Ram Automatic Feed Can Crusher at northerntool and I have to admit, for the first time I am very disappointed in an item I bought there
The sides are only snapped together and come apart all the time, so I tried to superglue them somehow, but the type of plastic is not binding with the glue. We constantly had to hold the plastic sides together, even worse , after 3 month of use the plastic part which pushes the cans in now twists in any possible direction , making it almost impossible crushing a can. You have to hold the pushing piece down, try keeping it in place so the can gets crushed.
Like I said it’s the first time, but I am disappointed.

reviews are skewed
Bought this after reading reviews. The all plastic body could not stand up to even one mild winter in Pa. Handle broke after maybe 6 months of use.

Can Crusher
I had reservations due to this item being made of plastic but to my enjoyment, it works very well mounted to a post in my garage! Much better than a sledge hammer!!! I did read the other reviews before I ordered the crusher & decided to not even attach the basket, which I think works just as fast loading one can at a time than loading the basket anyway? If your tired of smashing cans with your feet, hammers or driving over them, this is the one for you!

Just Recycle It
If you are tired of throwing away easy money, this might be the perfect product for you. Easy 2 screw installation on any wall or post. I have used mine for about 6 years and it is still going strong. You just cant tear it up. I have bought this product for several friends and family.
The basket is a little flimsy so I took it off mine and use it as a single can crusher. I assure you that it doesn't take any thing away from the usefullness of this can crusher.

Excelent
I bought this product for our Scout recycling program. We have crushe several thousand cans and it has held up well. it is easy for one kid to crush while another feeds cans in to it.

Good Idea, but...
I really like the idea of being able to stack more than one can, however, the crusher is not made out of quality materials and is very flexible and unstable. This product simply does not stand up to heavy use and I don't believe it is a good value.

Awesome
Works great! load it up and crush away and they fall into a can. Only have to handle the cans once. A Lot easier than 1 at a time. I have 2 of them. Great value

Does the job
I do wish the crusher was made out of quality metal, but it is plastic. The shute that holds the cans is a little flimsy, but can be overlooked.
It saves A LOT of time compared to the single can crusher. Sometimes the cans do get stuck, but for the most part fix on their own. You can crush 16 oz cans as well (one at a time), but no Joose or 4 Loko Cans, as they are too tall. I collect cans from work, my bf, sodas I drink, picking up off the ground, so I make money off this. Obviously you don't make much, but it's money, and I'm recycling as well.
Love it.

Poor Can Crusher
Very flimsy and the cans tend to jump around in the hopper.
The part the holds the handle to the base broke after 200 cans. It can' be fixed

Automatic Feed Can Crusher
This product works as advertised. It is very easy to quickly crush cans. This is much easier than crushing them on the floor as a bucket can be placed under the device to catch the output.
