Will it crush cans that are 8 inches tall?

I gave it to my son for his birthday and just texted him and asked - he said no - not the 8" tall ones.

Absolutely. Even thinner but sturdier cans are crushed with ease, not just the standard 12oz. Sometimes we purchase the small-can 7-8oz Cokes and the only mild hassle is having to hold your hand to the can until the crusher gains adequate pressure to keep it from falling mid-crush, but for regular-taller beverages that's never an issue because it form fits straight away. I have found that it makes less noise and gives to crushing easier when you press a small dent into the empty can pre-crush --- Go physics!

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?)

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.

Yes, but it's effectiveness will be about the same as crushing a bag full of cans with your foot.

No. Do not try it, it was not designed for this. Only use it on aluminum cans and plastic soda or water bottles. If you try to crush a steel can with itit will bend or break, probably break. It works great for what is was designed for.

It will if it has a lid. You will have to decide what sizes it holds as it is primarily made to hold 12 oz cans.

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.

Yes, no problem. It will even do the large energy drink cans (I think they're 20oz+).

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.

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.

Yes it will. I'm not sure about large or tall soda cans but normal size will fit 3 across.

Yes. small - medium size cans can b e easily picked up. As long as the can will fit into the jaws of the device it should work well for full or empty cans. It beats having to bend to the ground. It is also useful to extend your reach--to get the can on the top shelf and boxes of pasta and other stuff.

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.

Are they aluminum cans ???? I think these can crushers are designed to crush only aluminum.. Metal cans can be quite stiff..

Depends upon what shape your trash can is. If it's big and square at the top, probably not. If it's cylindrical and tall, probably will.

Yes it will. We have crushed a 24 oz. can. With the press plate all the way to the top, it's about a 9" tall opening to slide the can in. The rest is just muscle.
