[@DefinitelyNotSpam]

@@davidjames666 I mean that would've been nice to see (as it'd give people more of a reason to buy if they were unsure) but this wasn't sponsored, so makes since not to show off everything it can do. Also, I think he did the full can because if it did explode, it would've been entertaining to see. I'd actually like to see him make his own housing for it, larger with the ability to crush like a #10 can or something :P

[@trejkaz]

Highly amused at the term "croissant wrench" to refer to a shifter. On one hand, this looks pretty awesome. On the other hand, needing an external compressor is a deal-breaker for my own purposes. I'm currently using a lever pull sort and considering an upgrade to something powered.

I made one almost identical to this one from scrap metal I had and an air cylinder a friend gave me. Have about $20 in it. A friend wanted me to build one for him but without the air cylinder it would have cost much more to build. Found this unit on Amazon for him and could not build it for that price. So he bought the Amazon one. Nice video!

[@scootersonlyrepair]

Making one is cool buying one is pointless and retarded. Cans are thinner and easier to crush than ever step on that shit.

I built many of these can crushers 25 years ago still working to this day . Built one for myself and everyone else had to have one .

Send me one??🤗😋🤗😋🤗

[@pokemonrocks08]

I worked for a brewery for a few years and when canning the beer, the brewers would pull random cans off the line and put them in a vice to make sure the cans could withstand a certain amount of weight. So, it's not surprising that this crusher can't crush a full can when it's putting pressure down on the strongest point on the can. For reference of how strong cans actually are, 1 pallet of beer held 100 cases of 12oz cans with each case having 24 cans, and we would stack these pallets 2 tall for space saving. Each pallet weighed about 2100 lbs.

[@HerbOMatic]

The amazing things that seem mundane but are actually little marvels all around us. The aluminum can is crazy good engineering!

[@antlu65]

This sounds like the beginning of a math problem...

[@mosquitobrainbutcool]

2,400 cans per pallet x2 = 4,800 cans on top of 2,400. 12x2,400 = 28,800oz in one pallet= 1,800 lb per palletx2 =3,600 lbs on top of the one pallet. This equals around 1.5lbs per can. And that's with misreading your comment thinking you said stacked 3 high. With 2 high it's only around .75lb per can. Sorry if my math is wrong I'm a little dumb.

[@95ffd]

I was thinking, not in the elegant way you stated it, but think of all the beer and soda stacked on a trucks every day. As sturdy as these cans are, I get mad as hell when I drop one and it starts shooting all over the place. I'm curious if the aluminum is thinner than what used to be used?

[@arcvideos924]

That was really cool, and funny! Thanks the original content!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Bought one of these Amazon Prime Day discount. Identical white part and everything but the button is safety thing with a rim so you gotta shove your thumb down in it. Been looking at a foot pedal to replace. Mounted mine on a 1/2 plywood sheet with a milled down 4x4 block for it to lay on. Added an angled out wedge to get the can to discharge and kick out a few inches into my bag and not fall straight down between the wall and my bag. Loved your humor.

[@HerbOMatic]

I saw some crushers with the recessed buttons and liked that this one had the palm type. Foot pedal would be good except if you lost your balance while clearing a jammed can and got your hand crushed!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

@@HerbOMatic Pokey stick at the ready. I already got a dark red mark on my finger because I reached around to hold when air pressure was low to smoosh them flatter after it refilled.

[@williamclark9624]

I got some of those from Amazon also, about 6 months ago. But I put a foot operated valve on it. Makes it a lot easier. Seems can get about 45 lbs. in a 38-gal trash bag. Still easier than the old can smashers. Just be sure to use air tool oil for the seals about once a week for top performance.

It really shows just how well engineered the drink can is for transport. When opened this machine can crunch the can down with no problem, but while sealed and pressurised, this thing can't even make a dent.

[@HerbOMatic]

It really does Ned, there is genius all around us.

[@kennywoods7232]

Or, it shows how under engineered the crusher is. Especially since everyone knows that you can't compress liquids. But maybe that fact went the way of the croissant wrench, or the phillipe head screwdriver.

[@cta42141]

As far as safety of fingers inside the crusher when the button is pushed, you could either add a foot pedal at a distance over an arms length away to replace the button or add another button plumbed in series with the original one. That way it would take both hands to actuate the crusher, lowering the chances of an operator's finger being in the crushing area when it's cycled. Also, a 20oz red bull has to be pre-mashed a tad before it will fit. I remedied this by adding a spacer between the frame and the cylinder, moving the piston surface back in the frame increasing the loading area. Cans aren't crushed as flat, but its good enough for the effort.

[@ernestgalvan9037]

Safety of fingers, use the same method as an electrician working on a breaker box……. Use only one hand. Place can, then press button.

[@HerbOMatic]

Without them, what's the point of any of it?

[@markjames8664]

The limit on the PSI coming in might be to prevent someone from trying a full can. If the soda can has 60 PSI internally, depending on the area of the ram you are probably putting less actual pressure on the can. If there was enough pressure to overcome the internal pressure, the can would explode and probably sling aluminum bits at nasty speed. The manufacturer of the device probably prefers that not to happen.

[@HerbOMatic]

I would think so! It puts 473 lb of force on the can so I think the can can withstand a load of weight vertically. Thanks Mark!

[@BratvaTV]

It takes around 800lbs of force to do a full can... So that dinky can crusher aint gonna cut it.

[@95ffd]

@@HerbOMatic I bet if you took the black round crushing disk off and then tried it, it would probably go through the top. The reason I'm suggesting this, is I want to see what happens, and I don't want to have 12 oz of soda all over. hahahaha. I have one of these crushers based on your recommendation. I can verify that this crusher will smash a human thumb.

You should drill a hole or dermal 1 cm x near the top so the air can escape so there no spray
