The "tall-boy" cans don't fit. This works best with your typical 12 oz. can, but I was able to a regular sized red-bull can which are a little taller than a 12 oz. can. Anything taller and it won't fit in the crushing mechanism.

It doesn't have alot of extra room past a 12oz can but A small squeeze in the can by hand can make it fit.

Let me answer it this way I have used it to crush the cans that the energy drinks that look like a bottle on the top. Since I dont drink that type of beer I cant say 100% but if it will crush the bottle cans that I have put in it I am sure it should do the job. It is very heavy duty I know that since someone threw a steel can by mistake in my cans and I was able to crush that also although I do wouldn't advise continuous crushing of steel cans.

No, you'll have to partially crush them down to the 12 oz size, by hand, or some other manner. I found this with some large Guinness cans which I had to open anyway, to get the little ball out before recycling. Then you can crush them all the way with the device itself. The new bend in the can will make it want to pop out -- just put a hand in the way as you're crushing it, so it gets done.

It's really sized for your typical 12 oz beverage can. Work wonders with those but I think you would be disappointed try to crush anything much taller.

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.

I have only used it on 106oz cans (quite large) The cut appears to be nice and clean and no more of a safety factor than with smaller cans opened with an electric device. My opinion - always stay on the side of safety to insure a clean cut & dispose of can & lid quickly (especially if there are children around) Hope that helps.

although I haven't tried with cat food cans, I have crushed small dog food cans as well as Vienna sausage cans. You just have to set them on edgeto crush and use steady even pressure. It will crush them down to about 1/2".

I doubt it. I have not attempted but I have attempted to crush RedBull cans which are a little taller than standard cans and it does not fit. if I slightly crunch it by hand to make it an appropriate height it works though. You just have to make sure not to crush it too much or the pressure of the can crusher won't hold it in place to finish crushing it. Sounds complicated, in actuality isn't really, just a slight hassle.

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.

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.

I don't think i would use it for steel cans. It is made of a very hard plastic sort of material that doesn't seem to me would last very long with steel cans. Also, only standard soda and beer cans will fit in the area of the crusher. 16 oz beer cans are usually too tall to fit in the crusher.

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.

No. In fact, I do not know of a hand-powered crusher that will handle steel cans like soup cans, veggie cans, etc. If you find one let us all know!

The bin is 7 1/2 inches across and 15 inches high.I am guessing it holds 40 to 50 cans.Best can crusher I have ever seen and have had it for maybe 8 to 10 years. By the way where does one get a 36 pack?

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)

You have plenty of time. I just bought a can from a store about 2 days ago and it says "best used by November 1st, 2016". Since the can is only 1 lb, it goes very quick. Unfortunately I have not seen them make it in a larger size. Hope this helps!

When crushing each can,you have to exert several pounds of upward force. My ram is mounted to a 4x4. If it wasn't mounted, I wouldn't be crushing anything!(BTW, what is the metric equivalent of pounds?)

Normally yes, but since Im determined to prove to you and world that this is the best can crusher made today I will send you a replacement. Please don't attempt to crush aluminum bottles. Only thin walled aluminum cans. Just contact me with your info.

It will crush a can 2 3/4 inches in diameter and the heighth of a 12 oz soda can. It crushes down to 1 1/4 inches.

I really do not know the answer to that question, not sure if a 16oz pint class would fit it or not. Sorry I was not much help. Good luck! :-)
