Oil Filter Crusher

I am looking for recommendations on an oil filter crusher. Can I get one without spending thousands of dollars?
It seems like it would be pretty easy to make one.
Do the air operated ones work fairly good?

Back in the '90s, we got an OTC brand air operated filter crusher where I work.
I was a big one, and could crush even the largest diesel engine oil filters.
It worked well and never gave any trouble.
Then, in early 2002, an Oberg P-200L electric powered crusher came to our shop when another shop was closed down.
For a while, we used both, but it was soon apparent that the Oberg electric was favored over the OTC.
In 2009, there was a need for a filter crusher at a different shop and our bosses asked which one we wanted to keep.
We sent the other shop the OTC air operated and the Oberg is still crushing filters daily for us.
Those are the only brands I can comment on.
For the filter crushing jobs generated by forklift sized filters Oberg has a smaller model P-100WM that should do well.
