Abstract: A can crimping and folding device is shown which has a base plate having a crimping area and a folding area. The areas are adapted to sequentially receive a can, the length of which is transversely aligned with the longitudinal axis of the base plate. A pivotable handle is attached at one end of the base plate and rotates toward and away from the base plate. The handle has a two-position can crimping portion adapted to meet the base crimping area and a can folding portion adapted to meet the base folding area. The can folding portion of the handle has double concave depressions therein to increase the mechanical advantage of the device.
