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}
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.
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
@@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
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.
Here is the link for the one that costs 100.00 www.amazon.com/Cylinder-Efficient-Eco-Friendly-Recycling-Aluminum/dp/B081NMCBQ3/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=can+crusher+auto&qid=1605990785&s=home-garden&sr=1-5
@@Toolsinaction This is not the first time that a RU-vidr has posted something about an obscure item on Amazon saying the cost was $xxx only to have the price go through the roof shortly there after. I think Amazon sees activity on a item that wasn't previously moving then jacks up the price. It has happened way too often.
