The cooler company we all know, just launched something kinda unexpected—a can crusher. Yep, not a cooler, not a cup, but a full-on metal tool to smash your drink cans. And not some flimsy gadget either. This thing is heavy. Like, 5.3 pounds of solid metal kind of heavy. It’s built to crush 12 oz. and 16 oz. cans, and they’re saying it’s something every garage needs.
It’s powder-coated so it won’t rust, and it even comes with stuff to mount it on the wall. I mean, I guess if you’ve got a lot of cans piling up and like things neat, it could be kinda satisfying to use. Like those videos where they crush stuff? Same vibe.
So What’s the Deal With the Price?
Alright, here’s the part people are talking about—it’s $125. And not in stores either. You can only get it on YETI’s website right now. So yeah, that’s a lot of money to spend on something that, honestly, just flattens cans.
A lot of folks online are kinda split. Some are like, “Classic YETI—overpriced but cool,” and others are just confused. One guy on Reddit joked that not even after a few drinks could he convince himself to buy it. Which, let’s be real, feels pretty relatable.
If you're already deep into the YETI ecosystem—like you’ve got the cooler, the tumbler, maybe even the bucket—this probably feels like just another fun thing to add to the collection. But if you’re just looking for a basic can crusher? You’ll probably scroll right past.
What People Are Saying Online
The internet’s having mixed feelings about this one. Like, some people are into the design and build, saying it’s what you’d expect from YETI—super solid and built to last forever. Others? Not so sure it’s worth the price just to flatten some cans.
Here’s what’s floating around:
-
The Good: Great build, looks cool, super durable.
-
The Not-So-Good: Expensive, kind of a niche product, only sold online.
People love to argue over YETI stuff anyway, but this one’s definitely sparked a little extra chatter. Some think it’s just another overbuilt thing we don’t really need, but others are like, “Yeah, but it’s fun.”
Where You Can Get It
If you’re thinking about buying it—or just want to check it out out of curiosity—you’ve gotta head over to YETI’s official website. It’s not being sold at any regular stores yet, like Dick’s or Ace Hardware. So for now, it’s an online exclusive.
Just something to keep in mind if you’re thinking, "Hey, I might grab this next time I’m out." You won’t find it in a store. It’s a direct-from-YETI kind of thing.
