Will this crush 16oz cans?

Yes and no. The Pacific Fabrication 77702 can crusher was designed to crush 12oz soda cans. Any can that is either taller or wider had to be crushed a bit in order to fit in the Pacific Fabrication can crusher's opening and even then you take the chance of the bigger can getting stuck in the can crusher. When I have bigger cans than what the Pacific Fabrication can crusher is designed for I just use my foot to flatten them.

I tried it on a small cat food can today, it did crush it, but not completely flat. The can was aluminum.

I't will, but it's not recommend for that. It will probably break it. It's for Al cans only.

No, it will not crush the tall cans. It will only crush the small cans. But it didn't even hold up a week crushing the small cans.

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

I use this coozie with my 16oz. Rockstars all the time. It will work really well for the part of the drink that is actually covered by the coozie, not as much for the part that is sticking out, but since thats the first part you drink anyways, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as the diameter of the can is the same as a normal 12oz can, it should Work fine.

The opening is 7" tall. So it would be able to crush a can that's almost that tall. I hope this helps.

I doubt it. The plates that crush the can, while made of a very tough plastic, would probably crack or break with something stronger than aluminum. I can tell you that sometimes even regular soda cans wont crush unless you dent the can first. In most cases that isn't an issue, but probably 1 can in 100 will get stuck without denting. Soup can? No way.

Yes, I do crush 24 oz cans and it works pretty well. They don't crush down as flat, but I'd say getting them down to about 1 to 1.5 inches is easy enough. With all cans, you just give them a slight squeeze as you put them in. Just enough to create a very small dimple on each side and they will crush easily and straight down too. No dimple or too much dimple and they tend to crush irregular or even spring out of the crusher. I have been using mine for more than 6 months with no problems.

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.

No I don't think it will work with steel cans. This thing is made out of pretty cheap metal and it bent up on me the second day I used it. I got a refund from Amazon and they didn't even have me ship it back. I threw this one away and got a can crusher made by Pacific Precision instead. It's a lot more heavy duty and I'm really happy with it. Though I still don't think it would be capable of crushing steel since it's so much stronger than aluminum. Hope this helps.

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.

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

I used the Can Ram to crush at least 2,000 cans a month for over a year. Part of the plastic housing did break this week but that was after crushing over 22,000 cans. That many cans probably equals many years of usage in the average household.

Not easily, if at all. I just tried a dog food can ... it was almost too wide to fit in the opening. I used both hands with as much force as I could without risking pulling the crusher out of the wall and didn't even make a dent in the can. Pop cans, on the other hand, can be crushed with one hand and little effort.

I just tried a 15 oz soup can, and it's shorter than a soda can; I would not recommend this for soup cans. I do find it's OK for soda.

It comes in the form of a gel cap so no crushing would be involved. Simply open the cap. Whether it's as effective or not, I don't know.
