The equipment in use
How this item fits your brewing setup
This North Mountain tool uses a separate striking tool to crimp a crown cap onto a suitable beer bottle. Its compact form removes the column and height-adjustment step of a bench capper. Choose it only if that operating method suits your bottling setup; it is a different process from squeezing the handles of a wing capper.
North Mountain directs the user to support the bottle on a folded cloth, position the crown cap and capper, and use a rubber mallet rather than a metal hammer. Follow the supplied directions for the actual bottle and closure. The maker’s preference for a rubber mallet is not a promise that any glass bottle is suitable for impact capping.
The selected item is the black capper, with a molded handle and metal capping cup. The bottle and loose crowns in the secondary photograph illustrate the task. This offer does not establish a supplied mallet, bottle or cap pack, so plan those purchases separately.
Compare the Red Baron if you want a handheld capper operated by two levers. Compare the Colt Strong if you want a bottle platform and column-mounted head. The selected hammer capper’s precise bell diameter is not stated, so confirm the required crown size before pairing it with a specific cap pack.

Questions about this product
What else should you know?
Is this the same as a wing capper?
No. A wing capper uses two handles. This tool is positioned over the crown and operated with a separate striking tool.
Can I use a metal hammer because of the product name?
North Mountain recommends a rubber mallet rather than a metal hammer. Follow its actual instructions; the name does not override that direction.
Are the pictured bottles and caps supplied?
The selected offer establishes one capper. The secondary task photograph does not establish a bottle or cap bundle.
