Works good, the plastic feels like I might break it but it was cheap and it works well.

It's smooth working, no struggles and caps firmly and tightly without issues..usually break 4 or 6 bottles with other ones, but this one just caps so smoothly..no broken bottles

I have bottled many many beers with this model and it is still going strong. I had concerns about the plastic arms, but everything is still sturdy and seems to be ready for the years to come. The magnet in the top makes it easy to toss onto a bottle without fearing you will knock off the cap. I do think it's possible to pull too hard and snap the neck of the bottle based on the design, but this is just a theory based on how the unit works (squeezing the sides of the cap tight, not pushing down like a tabletop style would).I shopped around and this one was highly recommended and good price. After maybe 75 batches of brew over the years, I would give it a perfect score. One of the few things I bought in the beginning stage of the hobby that I actually still use and have no intention to upgrade.

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.

I used this for capping about 40 bottles. It was simple to use and I didn't have any failures. I could see how someone could break it if they put too much pressure on it after the cap is secure. You can easily feel the action for where to stop. There's some initial resistance when pushing down the arms, then the resistance lessens and the arms go roughly horizontal. At that point the cap is secure and no additional pressure is needed.Some have also suggested the magnet is too weak. I disagree with that. If the magnet were too strong, I'd be worried about lifting or tipping over the bottle at the end when removing the capper. It's just strong enough to keep the cap from sliding off at the beginning of the process.

I had one of these many years ago in my first attempt at making beer. (horrible disgusting failure was that first beer) I lost it. So I bought another. I bought a different type as well to compare them. This capper is the winner in most categories.The only category this capper fails in is with bottles that have a very high lip on the neck. If you looks at your bottle neck, there is a lip towards the top where the bottle gets thicker right before the very top lip. There are normally 2 sizes. One is noticeably longer than the other. With the longer one this capper works great. With the shorter, it doesn't work well.One category this capper takes the win is the way it has the satisfying finish when it has closed the cap completely. You get resistance all the way and then it finally gives way and you know the bottle is sealed.I also like the magnet feature in the head of this capper. You can put your lid on the sealer and fit it over the bottle.

I've been using the Monster Brew Home Brewing Gold equipment kit here on Amazon for about 3 years now and have been happy with the product and reliability of most of the equipment it includes. An exception to this happened to be the bottle capper they included.Since day 1, i was never very happy with the black handled capper - always using it with caution and feeling that it took more effort then it should. Well this Red Barron capper has helped prove my point - it's MUCH easier to use and does a great job on the various bottles I've reused. I've always found the previous black capper would easily break some of the thinner walled bottles - where as this one capped them without any effort or breakage.And at this price? It's a no brainer... if you're a homebrewer that still bottles, this is a great choice for this style of capper.

The Capper worked well, however when your buying this check the lower lip on your bottle and make sure its strong and wide as when the Red baron caps it grips the lower lip and presses the top down. My bottles had a weaker secondary lip and it wouldn't work for me, it kept slipping before it had sealed. That being said I tried using it on any other bottle and it worked fine.The build feels a little cheap so if your looking for an industrial grade bottler this probably isn't it. But for the price it works, but it just didn't work for me. For reference I was trying to cap Session Lager bottles and it was really not working out. But I tried using it on Guinness, Red Stripe, and Piraat bottles and it capped very well.
