Large Can Crusher 400 Cans Recycle or Fundraiser Review

Large Can Crusher 400 Cans Recycle or Fundraiser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a number of these a few years ago. We use the money raised to support a non-profit program for girls. We have placed several of them at our own properties and a couple out at local businesses. Here's what I like about them: (1) they hold up well, (2) with a little practice cans can be smushed so that they slide through the slot into the container without anyone having to touch the can, (3) because the container can only be accessed through the slot without removing the top we don't get all the extra garbage that gets thrown in many recycling containers, (4) because the can gets laid on it's side to be crushed, we don't get the half full cans of soda that get thrown in many recycling containers, (5) because of 3 and 4, the containers don't tend to attract bees as do other containers and (6)as was noted in the general write-up, the container can be lined and with the cans flattened the aluminum can be transported to the recycler without messing up your car. An additional benefit is that kids (and many grownups) enjoy using the crusher which decreases the number of cans that the organizers have to crush.

This is a great tool for crushing cans and keeping them out of sight. Simply lift the handle, insert the can and crush it. The flat can then falls into the large plastic drum. This thing is made of super tough plastic for long life. It is a pleasant light gray color. It will never rust!This is a great recycler for cafeterias, game rooms, company picnics, bars, tail gators, or just anywhere that aluminum cans build up. Not only does it keep housekeeping to a minimum but it also makes it easy to transport a lot of cans since they are flat. Just install a trash bag and you don't even have to handle nasty cans. Plus you can sell the cans and pay for the recycler.For instance. Cans are selling for about 50 cents a pound right now. That works out to about 6.65 per bag of crushed aluminum cans. The unit will pay for itself in 9 bags of cans and makes a wonderful demonstration for school children concerning recycling. Not only are you doing the right thing for humanity but RECYCLING PAYS BACK CASH and you can prove it easily.Makes a great fund raising tool also for any kind of event as you can easily tabulate the donations. And everyone crushes their own cans so the work load is reduced.Overall height is about 34" and it weighs about 15 lbs in the box. Will be shipped either Fedex or Parcel Post, whichever is less.Note that this can crusher is designed for standard 12 oz. aluminum cans. Other sizes will not fit.

Rada Cutlery Deluxe Vegetable Peeler, Made in USA, Aluminum Handle (R141) Review

The Rada peeler's handle turned out to be a bit longer and thicker than I expected. I'm happy with it though - it has a really nice weight to it (without being heavy). I love the brushed aluminum handle. Very nice matte finish.
When I peeled the first carrot with it - wow. Super sharp. It glides over the surface of the vegetable, lifting the peel (no snagging like some inexpensive peelers) and feeling awesomely effortless. You don't have to press - you barely move your hand along and the thing glides!
Safety tip, from me and my thumb: you'll want to make sure to put your peeler in the dish rack pointy side down. I reached for a fork, didn't see the peeler, and it got me good.

The Deluxe Vegetable Peeler has a bigger handle and longer cutting surface to make big peeling chores easy!Blade 2", overall 8 1/4". Rada cutlery is made of surgical quality, high carbon stainless steel. Hollow-ground blades ensure a precision concave surface for maximum edge retention and sharpness. The solid cast brushed aluminum handles create a 'feel good in your hand' balance for superior comfort. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to prevent discoloration of the aluminum handle. Like all Rada Cutlery, this item carries a lifetime manufacturer guarantee against defects.
