Evenin all,
I've been using this capper for a while but I'm finding it a little difficult to use and am sure there has to be one out there thats a lot easier to use.
This is my one - http://www.homebrewwest.ie/twin-lever-capper-black-338-p.asp

Has anybody any recommendations?

I found that capper very easy to use, but it crapped out and died after about 40 brews.
Bench cappers are a bit easier though, like this one:

My crown  capper finally died on me a couple of weeks ago after 6 and a half years of use

Look ing forward to getting a bench capper though

I bought one of THESE ONES when the plastic capper broke.
It seems a lot stronger, but the caps catch a bit when releasing.
Although, after the fliptop buy, I'm not going to get a whole pile of use out of it for a while  ;)

Bench capper all the way. It works with Wichwood bottles which is a bonus

Don't forget your NHC discount, it's only a couple of euro but it all counts ;)

Bench capper. 7 years old capper still bangs em out and you can change the bell size.

Do you have to adjust for each type of 500ml bottle with a bench capper?

Rossa

Yep, but it's very quick. Much more study that the twin handle.

I shall treat myself to the bench capper for my birthday so . . . or else i'll start dropping hints, not till the end of february so theres plenty of time :P

Flip tops if it's for personal consumption, not to be wasted on friends.
