FastRackLDC 4016 Red Baron Bottle Capper, 26.5mm Capping Bell For Standard Beer Bottles

Amazing little machine. Works fab, love it.

works nice and easy having the magnet.

It works but it takes a little time to get the knack. You need to keep everything exactly in line with just the right amount of pressure. It’s not the easiest thing to use and after bottling more than 100 bottles it’s still a pain in the arse. it keeps rocking about and miss capping. The only reason I’ve purchased it was because I’ve been given a lot of bottles. I’m definitely going to upgrade, there’s got to be better tools than this.

So I tried returning this, but apparently it’s too late, of course the nature of finding out not all of your beers have been sealed takes time… To use it isn’t easy, it’s unstable and occasionally seals only one side with the cap ending up wonky - so you throw a lot of dud caps away, but then sometimes it doesn’t grip at all and jumps off the bottle. Making my way through a lovely IPA but it sickens to have to throw some away due to a total lack of carbonation where the bottle hasn’t been properly sealed. In short - stay away from this cheap plastic hit n miss product!!
