Probably 50% of the time, when I start to clamp down with my wing capper, the bottle twists to the side. It's like the the clamps on the capper slip off the shoulder on one side. If I were t keep going, it would break the bottle. I can get around it by rotating the bottle 1/4 turns and clamping a little more each tie until it goes all the way down. I don't always catc it in time and broke the tops off of 5 bottles yesterday.
Is this more likely to be a problem with the capper or the bottles? I got the bottles off of Craigslist, so I don't know the brand. All appear to be in good condition.
The jaws on the capper aren't exactly in line when they'd first meet (off by maybe a 1/16"), but they finish nice and even.
