YETI’s Can Crusher Is Here – and Honestly, It’s Pretty Cool

Perfect Timing for Summer Hangouts

So YETI just dropped something kind of unexpected—a Can Crusher. Yeah, the same brand known for super-tough coolers and mugs is now making something to smash your empty cans. It launched in late May 2025, just in time for summer BBQs, lake days, and backyard hangs. It’s going for $125, which might seem a little steep, but it’s YETI—this thing’s built like a tank. It’s compact too, not some huge piece of equipment. Just a solid little tool you mount on the wall, and it comes with a five-year warranty.

It’s Surprisingly Fun to Use

Let’s be real—crushing cans is kind of satisfying. Like, really satisfying. YETI clearly knows that, and they leaned into it with this release. They even called it a “5.3 lb metal mutilator,” which honestly sounds kind of badass. It works on regular 12 oz cans, slim ones, and even tall 16 oz cans. Whether you’ve got it out in the garage, on the deck, or next to the cooler at your tailgate setup, it just fits right in.

It’s Not Just for Fun—It’s Practical Too

Besides the weird joy of smashing cans, this thing is actually useful. It helps you save space in your recycling bin, which is great if you’re hosting people or just go through a lot of cans. Of course, depending on where you live, crushed cans might or might not be accepted by your local recycling program, so it’s smart to check. In some places, they’re all for it. Others, not so much.

Built the YETI Way—Heavy-Duty and Durable

If you’ve owned anything from YETI before, you know they don’t mess around with quality—and this can crusher is no different. It’s made with heavy-duty metal and finished with a powder coating so it doesn’t rust. The handle even has a soft silicone grip, which makes it easier and more comfortable to use. YETI does recommend you mount it to something solid like wood or concrete so it stays put when you’re using it. Again, $125 sounds like a lot, but this isn’t some flimsy gadget you’ll toss after a few weekends—it’s built to last.

It’s Limited Edition—So Don’t Wait Too Long

This isn’t going to be available forever. YETI’s calling it a limited-edition release, so once it’s gone, that’s probably it. If you’re the kind of person who likes having unique gear or you’re already a YETI fan, it might be worth grabbing before it disappears. It’s one of those things you don’t really think you need—until you try it and start using it all the time.
