Tool for draining/crushing isobutane fuel canister

−0

I have seen a tool that helps drain the last of the fuel out of your isobutane fuel canister, and then pierce it to make it easy to crush. It's a simple little gadget that looks like a can opener. What is this tool called and/or where can I buy it online?

Cheaper and easier solution.

Attach your stove thingy (In my case, a pocket rocket). Open all the way and invert the can (away from flame sources obviously).

Use a cheap and old fashioned church key to puncture the side.

Total cost, approx. $0.50.

This (Jetboil Crunchit Recycling Tool) was found by googling "crush isobutane fuel can" and reading this second result (right below the outoors.SE question) for the link.
