Beer cappers

I dont have my bench capper bolted down,I just put my hand on the upright and it works perfectly.
Wish I'd spent the extra couple of quid initially as the 2 handed capper only lasted 3 batches before not working properly

struggle with Wychwood bottles

I have a steel hand capper, other than not liking Wychwoord bottles, it has worked fine for many, many brews.

However, if it did give up working. I'd go for a good quality bench capper.

My bench capper isnt bolted down either. Simply holding a bottle in the capper with one hand whilst using the lever with the other keeps it steady

I have a black hand clapper one which I have used since I started, never had any problem or broken bottles..I think they are like auto syphons.. some people do and some just do not get on with them.

The Wilco capper is crap. The £11.85 capper from ebay you can use like a maniac. As I'm filling bottles I line them up next to me on the floor and put a cap on while filling the next bottle and then walk above them capping as I go and can do 15 in just under 30 seconds.
