The main problem with this very affordable can crusher is that the handle was built so tightly that it grinds against the can-holding frame when attempting to crush the can. This, in conjuction with the wobbly part conected to the handle that actually makes contact with the can, makes using this product more difficult than just crushing a can between your two hands. Stick with the original "The Crusher". I'm sending mine back, right now.

I had a different brand and the handle collapsed when it was pulled a little bit to the left. This one is pretty sturdy and does the job. The handle is long enough that you don't have to put in a lot of effort to crush. The one minor negative is that you should not pull the handle all the way as it looks like it puts a lot of strain on the rails. Pulling more doesn't crush the can any more and I think repeatedly doing that might break the rails/guide.

I just bought one of these can crushers locally. It looks well built. Mounted it, put in my first can and pulled the handle, can crushed, handle fell off. Tried another same results. Needless to say it is going back for a refund. A little more thought on the Mfg's part would have made it a decent crusher.

I was disappointed because I had to pay additional shipping when the package arrived. Otherwise it was ok I guess.

This is the second one of these I have bought, the first one lasted 14 years. I would never buy a plastic can crusher, the metal ones last much longer.
