I'm just curious how long wing cappers go for. I'd hate to have a handle snap off halfway through bottling a batch of beers. I was getting some bad seals on my last batch and I don't know if it was the capper or the smaller than usual bottles.

I still have the same one that came with my starter kit...let's just say that was several years ago at the least.

Long enough till you either get a bench capper, switch to kegging or both.

Ive had mine 4 or 5 years. Capped hundreds if not thousands of beers with it. It doesnt seem any worse for wear than when i first got it.

Couldn't tell you. I wish mine would break so it would push me to keg. I've bottled at least 75 cases with mine and it's going strong. I have the red one, not sure of the brand.

Mine are 15 years old...snapping a handle is just using too much muscle.

If you're having a problem with caps not sealing check the metal plates that surround the bottle neck. If they have another set of arcs cut out in them they are reversable. These are for different size bottle necks.
