Twin Lever Crown Capper 26-29mm

Twin Lever Crown Capper 26-29mm

Bought this for making sparkling wine, specifically using the 29mm fitting. I capped one bottle, then when I moved onto the next, the plastic underneath just gave way and now does not fully engage the cap.

If I move it around a bit and redo the process a few times then it seems OK, but very disappointing. I specifically bought it for the 29mm fitting (I have the red one for 26mm caps and that is going strong after quite a few caps!) so it is disappointing that it broke so quickly.

I guess the full metal stand will be in order if you want to do 29mm caps!

No probs with this after quite a few batches and less than half the price of others online. Winner.

I bought this in September 2020 and worked fine initially. However after a couple of batches of beer capping, it seemed to malfunction. No matter how little pressure I applied to get it to function, it always seemed to depress the crown, leaving a ring in the top of the bottle. Then it kept jamming when the levers were down, so I couldn’t remove the bottle from this capper without significant force which usually resulted in my skin getting nipped in the mechanism. I have since purchased a more expensive capper, which seems to work fine and no injuries to date, touch wood!

The capper works very intuitively and is very robust. The different attachments allow you to cap standard (26mm) bottles as well as larger Belgian style (29mm) bottles with minimal effort. It arrived well packaged and was much less expensive than elsewhere online. Excellent service.
