I used to rent the capper from for LBS store near my house. Never had a problem in 4 batches. Was tired of going back and forward to the store so I bought one.
so I bought this one

I lost half of my last batch part of it was my fault because of caps went on a little crooked. I will admit it.
I've been doing some testing since then and have another batch to bottle soon and don't want to mess it up.
Once capped the caps are movable with some force... I have to give it a little force but not over power it.
So I called the LBS and they are telling me it`s normal the caps are moving since its not carbonized.
So I'm not sure if it's defective or it`s me. When I compare it the the rental I used to have the caps can move but it need a lot more strenght.
Even when I open a beer it doesn't fell as tight as with the other one.
so where do I go from here?
thanks
Ernie
