WILL IT CRUSH TIN OR STEEL CANS??

I've only used it on Aluminum drink cans as well. I would not expect that it can handle food cans or such like that though.

Never tried it on tin or steel cans....only use it for aluminum. And because we don't eat a lot of canned processed foods, I don't have either to try it out. The handles are metal and the rest is hard plastic. Works great for us. Good luck.

Hi Maureen, I know you asked this back in January but I just now saw it. I have crushed several 32oz cans with no problems. So far I've crushed over 500lbs with this unit and have used it on everything from 5.5oz up to the 32oz and everything in between. Don't try the al bottles though.

This can crusher needs to be installed on a solid surface like a garage wall or a utility cabinet. I wouldn't recommend this one for table or counter top use.

Definitely would knock down beverage cans. Feels to me like the force equivalent of a whiffle ball.

It will definitely crush ice and rip through softer foods, but it is not compact the shaft is probably around 11 inches in length. But the thing has plenty -o-power.

U can try but I don't think it will because it doesn't completely crush cans. It crushes them to about the height of cat food cans. It works well if u have tall cans.

Sorry, but I'm not really an expert on it. I would assume that if the can says that it's good for metal, then you can.

It will crush 16oz cans as well but they don't fit in the hopper so you have to load it strait in. It's fine for an occasional 16oz or odd shaped (skinny) can but if you have predominantly 16oz cans I wouldn't recommend this crusher.

Yes, I would say they could knock down a stack of empty aluminum cans. It has a fair amount of force, but it probably wouldn't harm anyone.

Well Sarah the simple answer is YES. It is advertised to crush up to a 32 oz. can and it will. I have crushed everything from 5.5 oz. cans all theway up to the 32 oz. beer cans. You have to be careful though as I recommend you dent the side of the can to help. Some 24 oz. cans like the pepsi or mt. dew including 24 oz. monster energy cans are actually made of heavier material and take a little more effort. Most 24/25 oz. beer cans I have found are made of thinner material. It will also crush 16 oz. aluminum bottles but these you have to dent, and yes it will also crushplastic soda bottles. Hope this answers your question and any others you might have. Well Sarah the simple answer is YES. It is advertised to crush up to a 32 oz. can and it will.

The crusher is pretty much perfect height for 12 ounce cans. I doubt if you will be able to fit a plastic bottle in the opening as they are generally quite a bit taller than an aluminum can.

Absolutely don't know; however, I'd like to meet the man who can break this thing. It's steel and about 3" inches in circumference. I'm sure if you go on-line you can obtain the information regarding force/weight rate you are requesting.

i don't think so. You have to grab the can with one hand and push the botton with the other.

I don't think so. Even though the can crusher is one tough cookie it's designed to crush aluminum soda can, not dog food cans. You might actually end up damaging the can crusher if you attempted to crush heavy tin cans.

Yes I believe it will. it cuts from the side of the can, not the top. It the best can opener I have EVER owned. It was recommended to me. I love it!!

On aluminum, yes. Not sure about other metal cans. Keep in mind it is made of plastic. Maximum size it will take is the normal 12.5 oz cans. It's not large enough to fit the 16oz beer cans or larger.

Yes, it would. I love this can crusher. I have 10- 65 gallon barrels filled with crushed cans. Now, if I could find some of my Hispanic friends to take them to California at 5 cents a can, I'll make alot of money. (Seinfeld / Kramer joke)
