I'm conscious of this other question, yet this is (veritably) a different question that doesn't duplicate.
What are some tools or appliances that peel an entire garlic bulb?
Are there any for crushing it? Are there any that accomplishes both?
I've also tried the shaking method with metalware, but this fails for me.
Google returned the following that requires processing one clove at a time. I'm interested in something more efficient and productive:

I built a little wooden impeller for my food processor that hits the cloves hard enough to peel them, but not hard enough to gouge or break them:
The center piece is an old dough mixer blade for the food processor. The wood is maple; pine is too weak. The rubber flaps on the bottom, screwed on, keep the cloves moving so they'll collide with the wood.
I've peeled as few as 2 cloves, and as many as 4 bulbs with the device. Peeling takes about 30 seconds.
It works best if you separate the cloves from the bulb before starting. I just cut the bulb end off and pull apart.
If I want small bits of garlic afterwards, I just use the food processor's cutting blade. Otherwise a rolling pin should do a good job of crushing en masse.
