I have a hand bottle capper

For oxygen caps like these, there are no issues in capping non screw top bottles

However for screw top bottles, the cap sticks to the 'bell part' of the capper and I have to really twist or yank the bottle off. It really slows down bottling day, so I often just use my flip top bottles instead but sometimes I just want to cap a few of these bottles and give the beer away

I was wondering if anyone has the Ferrari bench capper and if it does a better job of capping and easily releasing the bottle for screw tops ?

thanks
 
Probably not. It doesn't do anything that a regular capper does differently or in a special way. I would just not use screw top bottles and throw all of them away in the recycle bin while keeping eyes out for non-screw off bottles.
