Has anyone else had problems with the cap breaking while tightening?

Yes. My cap broke right from the start. I found another cap to fit but noticed it leaked a tad when shaken so I added a piece of saran wrap over bottle spout, then put lid on over the wrap. it worked well.

I have found the cap to be troublesome also and sometimes it really takes a lot of strength to remove it. Although I have not tried it, I know a wrench is specifically made to fit over the top of the cap to turn it more easily.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helpedKevin

Mine just pulls off, no twisting or clicking or anything, wondering if you bought the same kind, other brands may not have the exact size heads where they fit on the unit

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

Sorry, I didn't experience such a problem. I just turned the top and it opened up. Perhaps running hot water around the rim of the cap might help.

I have not had that problem. Push in until it snaps. I had to push a little harder than I originally thought.

That is a question for the manufacture. Apparently the friction on the tightening nut has failed.

The tightness is the one, possible complaint the user might have . . . in a word. I should add that others say "No," but all three of mine do it. They do loosen up after a while, but I've never found the tightness to be a prob. As stated elsewhere, the co does stand behind their product and will replace, practically at the "drop of a hat." Call`em if there's a cont'd prob.

No..there is a slight indentation on one side of them..and I use a small screwdriver (though any straight, strong thing will work) to push in on the indentation and it opens up the cap. I have had to open them up at least 3 times and they still work. I do not see a place here where i can post a picture but on Youtube you might be able to find the answer to this.

I haven't had any issues capping bud light bottles, Coors bottles crack on me tho. depends on how and where the capper grabs the bottle.

Yes I have. No success fixing it. Also had the handle break off. Haven't been able to get through to manufacturer after many attempts. Sorry, I can't help

Yes, but you have to unscrew the cap to use it and then the dampening tip is exposed again. Adonit said they will send me a new one after some back and forth. Perhaps I had a faulty one?

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

Mine broke and I contacted Cuisanart and they replaced it but now the second one broke too. I do the same thing and put a heavy can on top when popping. Definitely a flaw in the design!

I haven't had any problems with it piercing caps, sometimes need to add a little pressure to get some bottles to pierce.

Yes!! It is such a pain getting that cap off.. You have to take a cloth and gently twist it off. It may not twist off the 1st few times, but it will..just don't squeeze it at the same time...
