FastRack Ferrari Super Agata Bench Capper, Adjustable Metal Bottle Capper Review (2026)

Who should consider this capper

The Super Agata is a bench mounted bottle capper made by Ferrari, an Italian manufacturer with a long history in homebrew and small scale beverage equipment, and it is aimed at brewers who bottle often enough to justify a dedicated tool rather than a basic hand capper used occasionally. Because it adjusts to a range of bottle heights, it suits a brewer who bottles different styles or bottle shapes across batches, from standard 12oz longnecks to bomber sized 22oz bottles, without needing a separate capper for each size. Someone who bottles only a case or two a year may find a cheaper hand capper sufficient, but a brewer filling several cases per batch will notice the speed and consistency advantage of a bench mounted design.

What makes it a bench capper

Unlike a hand capper that is gripped and squeezed over each bottle individually, the Super Agata mounts to a table edge or bench and uses a lever arm to press a crown cap down onto a bottle held beneath it, which reduces hand fatigue over a long bottling session and applies more even pressure than most hand tools can manage. The capper adjusts to fit varying bottle heights, so a brewer does not need to swap parts or re-calibrate between a short bottle and a tall one within the same session. A built in magnetic head holds each crown cap in place as the lever comes down, which makes it easier to center the cap correctly before the seal is pressed, cutting down on crooked or leaking caps.

Everyday use at the bottling bench

In practice, a bottle is placed under the capper's head, a crown cap is set onto the bottle or held by the magnetic bell, and the lever is pulled down in one motion to crimp the cap onto the bottle finish, which most brewers pick up within the first few bottles of using the tool. The metal frame and base are built to handle repeated use across many bottling sessions, and because the head is height adjustable rather than fixed, the same capper works across differently sized bottles without needing a tool change mid session. Regular wiping down and occasional light oiling of the moving lever joint helps keep the mechanism working smoothly over years of homebrew seasons.

Trade offs against other cappers

This capper costs noticeably more than basic hand held wing cappers or simpler bench cappers from generic brands, which is the main trade off for its smoother action and adjustable design, and it is a fair question for an occasional bottler whether the price is justified by a few cases a year. The base, while metal, is on the lighter side compared with some heavier duty bench cappers, so it can shift slightly on a smooth countertop unless a brewer holds it steady or uses the pre-drilled mounting holes to bolt it to a bench or board. Other adjustable bench cappers on the market offer similar height adjustment and lever action at a lower price point, though the Super Agata's reputation among longtime homebrewers for durability is part of what justifies its higher cost.

Bottom line for regular bottlers

For a homebrewer who bottles multiple batches a year across different bottle sizes, the Super Agata's adjustable, magnetic bench design earns its our score of 8.6 out of 10 by making a repetitive task faster and more consistent than a hand capper. The two things to weigh are the higher price compared with basic cappers and the need to brace or mount the base so it does not shift during use. A brewer who bottles rarely, or who is on a tight budget for a first bottling setup, may be better served starting with an inexpensive wing capper and upgrading later if bottling volume grows.
