bench capper

[danb]

I have bought a Ferrari super agata capper I think it is. Used it for the first time today and sorted the bottles so there was just 2 sizes, kopperberg and bulmers bottles.

The paper work said lower onto the bottle with the button pressed then when the lever is pulled the height will be right. Like this the lever goes all the way down but the bottles don't come out easily, the bell is slightly too low and its hard to get the next bottle in with moving the height up and back down.

Then I used it on the next setting higher which was easier getting the bottles in and out but the lever doesn't go completely down.

Also noticed the ends of the caps are slightly flared compared to using the old twin handled capper, althought they seem ttight. But I'll see when they have carbed up.

So which way should I be using the capper? Thanks
