The equipment in use

How this item fits your brewing setup

The Colt Strong puts the bottle on its own platform beneath a lever-operated capping head. Choose this bench arrangement when you want a dedicated station for closing a succession of bottles, rather than lifting a two-handle wing capper onto each neck. The head moves along the upright to accommodate different bottle heights.

The selected version is specified for 26 mm crown caps. A magnet holds the cap in the bell while you position the bottle. Match the bottle’s crown finish and the actual cap size: an adjustable column changes working height, not the diameter of the supplied bell.

The main photograph shows a metal column and platform with a molded head housing. The platform has fixing holes, and the offer allows optional bench fastening with screws purchased separately. Consider that mounting arrangement and the space for the lever when choosing a place to work.

The package is one capper. Bottles, crown caps and mounting screws are separate purchases. Compare the Super Agata if you want its different height-adjustment mechanism, or the Red Baron wing capper if you prefer a handheld tool.

Advice for this reference

Before you choose

Match the capper bell, crown cap and bottle finish; height adjustment does not adapt the bell to another cap diameter.

Also check

Questions about this product

What else should you know?

Can I cap 29 mm bottles by raising the head?

Raising the head changes bottle clearance. It does not change the selected 26 mm bell; a different cap size needs the appropriate documented head and bottle finish.

Do I need to buy bench screws?

The offer excludes mounting screws. If you choose to fasten the platform, obtain suitable fixings for the actual work surface.

What changes compared with a Red Baron wing capper?

This model supports the bottle on a platform below a column-mounted head. The Red Baron is placed on the bottle and operated with two handles.
