I like that this can crusher can be mounted flush on a wall. The air blast that ejects the crushed can is neat but a tad buggy. There’s enough room to reach in and remove the can if need be. There is a window to see and keep splashing from coming toward you as well.As far as the negative parts go, the main complaint is that the air lines leak some and the little screws (m4*5) that are used to assemble the body are quite soft. The holes are not aligned well because the actuator panel isn’t bent quite right. A little squeeze during assembly will suffice but watch out for cross-threading. I erred due to emptying cans while assembling and missed a detail from the pics used to assemble the crusher. Just make sure to keep the air line couplers, (PL6-02) facing outside when attaching the cylinder to the mount. The pic doesn’t show a 180 degree flip after inserting the two PL6-02 couplers. Not a big deal but annoying if overlooked. The manufacturer included teflon tape so make sure to cover all the threads on air couplers to minimize the leaks. These leaks don’t harm the way the crusher works but does make the compressor work a tad harder if you are leaving air supplied when not in use. Lastly on cons is that the air lines are exposed to the cans as they are inserted into the crusher. Over time, this may lead to air line replacement but it’d take a lot of use or carelessness to accelerate the wear and tear on the lines.It does crush cans down better than manual crushers and with a lot more consistency. Overall, I am glad that I purchased this novelty tool.
