Swing tops are the mutts nuts! So much easier than capping!
That being said I've a twin lever capper that never gave me any hassle, there are certain bottles that a twin lever won't cap though, such as hobgoblin.

Welcome to the site by the way! Hop to see you at the next meet!

Right now I keep a bin bag and an old dressing gown wrapped around my bucket :)

At the moment I've about 40 Grolsch bottles, and 100 of the Coopers bottles. I'm hoping to eventually have more swing top bottles, but do you think it'd be worth my while to get a bottle capper? It seems annoying to do, and I'd be wary of breaking the bottles and making a huge mess. I can get a hold of a whole lot of normal bottles though.

I'd get a capper if I were you. Even just for giving away bottles you don't want to be giving away your nice ones or breaking up your sets of coopers.

There would be a very low chance of breakage and it's not much hassle compared to the rest of bottling day.
