Curious if anyone has had any experience using a hammer capper. It appears to be a good idea for quick and easy capping of all types of bottles without having to worry about adjusting the height of a bench capper. The obvious problem I see is the potential of breaking the bottles. Another possible issue would be the agitation created by pounding on the beer bottle, but I would think that would do nothing more than force carb the beer.
After seeing the image below I've been pondering building one myself using parts I have lying around, and tapping it with a mallet. I'll be building this within the next week and testing it on a variety of empty bottles and posting my results here for all to see.
Please let me know if you have used or seen one of these used before, or have any other feedback related to this type of capping.
Thank you
