Hand bottle capper, anyone ever used on of these can you recommend it ?

I've got one of those you can have for nix. Just pay the postage.

Easy enough to use but if you have the cash I'd splash out on a bench capper.

That capper won't work on bottles with wide necks e.g. squat VB stubbies. Why you would have VB stubbies in the first place is another question. Don't ask me how I know - before I knew better.

Anyway my money is on the superautomatica - quicker than the two handed as well I reckon as you have one hand free to move the bottles in and out of the capper.

+1 on the Superautomatica - never had a failed seal and they're excellent if all your bottles are the same height - and kegging is financially out of reach at the moment.

+2 on superautomatica. Cost me around $50-60 from memory 4 years ago. Never missed a beat or had leaky seals. Very easy to change capping height too.

A mate has one of those 2 handled things, and has broken a few bottle tops off, i dunno if he's being heavy handed, I've never used one.
I wouldnt buy it myself...

I bought a bench capper for about 50 bucks, never had a problem.

Started kegging a month or 2 ago, thats even better, but regardless, you still need a capper.

cheers,

Thanks all, will go towards a bench capper, just wanted an opinion on them.
