All the way up to $165 when I just looked. I'd probably buy it for $100, but that's the upper limit for {"gee, that's neat" but does the same thing as $10 from HF}
You are supposed to mount that on it's side with the ejection hole on the bottom which is why it has mounting holes on the side if you watch the video they are on the right side in the middle of the screen so the smashed can automatically ejects out the bottom! There's also a feeder you can buy that holds about 8 cans and with the machine mounted correctly all you have to do is push the button 8 times after each crushed can falls out the ejection hole! There's also a pedal you can get to control it with your foot leaving your hands free to continue loading cans as you go making it a breeze to crush a few 55 gallon trash bags full of cans to fit into one bag!
I built my own. Stainless Steel frame(free)LOL, Don't have room to put it horizontal so plumbed exhaust port to bottom and can shoots out on up stroke.
Price is down to 70 bucks now. Works great. I went thru 8 13 gallon garbage bags of cans in 1 hour and 10 mins. I used a 20 gallon air compressor and could do 14 cans before it kicked on. It will take awhile to pay for itself. But it's faster then what I was doing.
I had just been looking at these on Amazon less than a month ago and was on the fence about buying one. If I was to get one I'd probably mount it sideways so when it was done crushing the can would just fall out the hole right into the bucket.
When operating it vertically-The platform on the bottom of the machine can be made less than half the diameter of the can to support the can when it is intact, due to the back wall, but let the can fall out once it becomes a disk; if the platform keeps the center of gravity of the can over the receptacle, the can will fall out once the can can't lean on the back wall (due to being flat). I hope that made sense.
@@clayton8465 Well it's pointless to buy one in Michigan, we pay an extra 10 cents for every returnable can or bottle we buy at the store, and to get it back you have to take the cans back to the store and put them in the machine.
Who the heck of these guys with a tool channel that call air pressure "dosage", call air lines "cards", and say they don't need much of a compressor since they don't really do much work. LOL
@@Toolsinaction Well........... ? Did it crush the Bean can. I had the same question. Actually I was curious about other cans as well like Soup cans. Thank you !
It will pay for itself after taking about 400 pounds of crushed cans to the junk yard. Junk yards pay you for aluminum cans whether they are crushed or not
I think mounting it at an angle would help. Also I might ad a pusher such that I don't have to poke my fingers in there to kick the crushed can. It'd be easy enough for that mod, but not so simple as mounting it with the bottom "out" such that the bottom is slanted to gravity. How much angle? Won't know until we try.
What the should have done they should have turned it sideways then that way they can can drop automatically that way they wouldn't have to keep doing what they're doing smashing it and they have to slide it to the same that's my advice is turning sideways drop once it's smashed
At $100 per it's an absolutely worthless piece of junk. That doesn't even include the air supply. Anyone can crush a drinks can with no effort at all just using their hands. Show it crushing proper cans such as those used for canned soups, fruits, meats, etc. My bet is it fails before 100 cans even if it can manage 1.
I hope my wife doesn't see this. I have been collecting 12 oz. American beer cans since 1976. She has been threatening for years to take them all back for a nickel each.

PUT A FULL CAN IN!!!!!!!
It is designed to sit horizontal so the can just drops out - Amazon has raised the price!

Remove the exhaust filter and plumb a line to bottom to eject the crushed can.
Yes it should be on its side

I bought one. Love it! Must free up 90% more space in the recycling bin easily.
Do you need an air supply for that.

Exactly
I got one and love it. So much better than the hand powered ones.
I watched the whole video 😅😂

yes
@@Toolsinaction also you could drop them. Easier and keep the finger further away
You could mount it side ways and build a can feeder. Then it would automatically fall out the bottom.
yes
Pretty dang cool guys!! TIA#1!!
Just ordered one now the beer drinking begins 🍺🍺🍺 😄

Lay machine flat. Can fall by self.

What about for 16 oz bottlenecks, 20-24 oz cans, or odd shaped ones?
How big of a tank would you need for this
Cool but in Michigan we have the deposit laws, so you cant crush them before you return them. 10 cents is 10 cents it adds up!
I was going to say the same thing
@@clayton8465 Well it's pointless to buy one in Michigan, we pay an extra 10 cents for every returnable can or bottle we buy at the store, and to get it back you have to take the cans back to the store and put them in the machine.
@@hunterhippensteel It was so funny people had small fortunes in returnables after the shut down.
@@DarkRaptor99 I got about $40 from cans last weekend, accumulated since probably the end of last year.
With that air compressor, how man cans can you do before the compressor kicks back on?
how much air bar or Psi compressor for cylinder
What you recording on? Great quality
I'll stick with manually crushing them to work out frustrations. 😆
That’s cool to keep in the shop
You mounted it wrong. It’s supposed to be horizontal so the can falls in the bin
But, will it smash 16 oz. aluminum bottles?
Should mount it on its back then the can will fall out automatically just drop in
The bottom should be on a 45 angle so the cans can slide out by themselves ☝🏼😎🇨🇦
or you mount it horizontally as others have noted. Apparently these aren't REAL shop guys.
🤣
What is the model number of the Metabo air compressor?
EC914SM
Who the heck of these guys with a tool channel that call air pressure "dosage", call air lines "cards", and say they don't need much of a compressor since they don't really do much work. LOL
Price is down to $105, ordered my today!
Seems to me if you mounted it horizontal with the hole down it would automatically dump the crushed can. So you would only need to put a new can in.
yes
cant find one for 100. the link you have listed it sells for 165.00
Man Amazon changed it. I was $100 when we bought it. We posted it on Instagram and a few days later it was sold out.
Does it do steel baked bean cans?
doubtful but we will try
@@Toolsinaction Well........... ?
Did it crush the Bean can. I had the same question.
Actually I was curious about other cans as well like Soup cans.
Thank you !
It’s made to be mounted horizontally… The cans will fall out automaticity.
Pipe the exhaust air to blow the crushed can out
The welds broke on mine at the bottom that the rod pushes against.
weld it back up, weld it better. BTW how much air were you running?
How long would it take to recoup the cost?
O man, I don't know. I don't even recycle lol
It will pay for itself after taking about 400 pounds of crushed cans to the junk yard. Junk yards pay you for aluminum cans whether they are crushed or not
i feel like that thing needs to be mounted on its back so the can falls out automatic
You can use it as a mouse trap too ....
You need to make it to where can would automatically fall in

Man this dude looks like Jhon Stewart
You mounted it where you got to push the cans out of it besides laying it down so the cans fall out… 😂
Some people…
can you do soup cans?
That's my question as well. I wish we could get an answer......
i need one but not for 175 bucks...ideas?
Build one
@@Toolsinaction you give me a full list of parts and i will... I live in apartments in the city so i dont know JACK about starting from scratch lol
Can it crush soup cans?
hmm great idea!

@@Toolsinaction Can iy crush an average Soup can ?
You know if you would mount it laying flat on its back the cans would fall out by themselves and you would only have to load the cans.
Air power can crush her? I hardly know her!
What the should have done they should have turned it sideways then that way they can can drop automatically that way they wouldn't have to keep doing what they're doing smashing it and they have to slide it to the same that's my advice is turning sideways drop once it's smashed
do you think it would work with an air pump that plugs in the wall?
if the air pump can dish out the required psi
I got to crush a lot of cans.. to get my $165 back..lol🙂

just a little bit dangerous do not stick your hands in there
