A crown capper is a tool that crimps a metal cap tightly over the bottle top. It is very easy to use.

There are 3 types available.

1. The hammer capper. The crown cap is placed over the bottle top, and the capper sits over the cap. Hit the capper smartly with a mallet. The force of the blow knocks the capper down and crimps the top over the bottle.
2. The two handed capper. The crown cap is placed on the underside of the capper and is held in place by a magnet. The capper is then placed over the bottle, and the two handles pressed down. The ends grip the bottle and the cap is sealed onto the bottle top.
3. The bench capper. This capper is a floor standing deluxe machine. The bottle is placed in the stand and the crown cap on the bottle. The handle is then pulled down sealing the cap on the bottle. This is by far the easiest to operate and is recommended if you have plenty of bottling to do.
