You know, those hand operated bizzos that crush beer or soda cans into discs.

Anyone know where I can get one? A model made from non ferrous material (not titanium) would be a bonus.

Put it on the ground. Stand atop of it in a finely balanced position. Reach down and gently tap each side of the can. Now be careful not to catch your fingers. It will crush down in a spectacular fashion. Job done.

Sounds like a neat party trick and if endorsed with a 'Biggear Certified On Line Course' sticker I am sure it will work as well as a piece of roast beef. However......

I am looking for an item for bulk use, on a platform that precludes 'a finely balanced position', is sea water resistant and can be used offshore in early April with low probability for Moggy Star loss in the event of a malfunction. If you get my drift.

These might work, the first one would certainly get a moggy star



However I can see this second one being the more likely event on tagit in the wet!


I guess both will do the job and keep the crew fit!

I thought the idea was to smack them on your forehead.

Possibly need a mullet haircut to make it work properly.


Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

Run your thumb down the side diagonally 4 or5 times around the sidem to lightly crease the can, grab each end and twist.
Can concertina's and ends up pretty flat

Bench vise works well if you have the model with a lever you depress and can then slam it shut.
If you think you are too small to make a difference,try sleeping with a mosquito in your tent.
