Cahawbakid Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Why had they stopped shipping to the US ? I purchased one early on, it’s a fine unit! When I ordered mine it took a long time to get here, US Customs held it for two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ordered mine it took a long time to get here, US Customs held it for two weeks They ship first class mail so it travels across the pond via aircraft. When all the travel restrictions went into place they stopped shipping as there were very few flights occurring for the mail to travel on. Very hard to track delivery when it is moving by slow boat.

Hoss Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Mine took a couple of weeks, when it arrived it was kind of neat. The envelope was covered with Polish postal stamps the Polish capper works really well on my 58 Remingtons. A little bit of a learning curve, but then good to go. I like that you can fully seat the cap on the nipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ordered mine it took a long time to get here, US Customs held it for two weeks The Polish Capper guy told me in an email a few weeks ago that it was because the US "stopped aircraft from Europe and our Post Office stopped delivery to US". He said he could have continued delivering to the US but it would have been via slow boat across the Atlantic with no tracking, and he didn't want to go there. I agree with Hoss. The Polish Capper does have a little bit of a learning curve, but works great once you get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I polished one for several days and I have to admit it looked better! It didn’t help the lids go on the bottles any better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Kid, #47400 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Tequila, Thanks! It looks like something I wouldn't loose in a vest pocket like I have with some of the smaller single in line feed styles. Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Gonna’ have to get one of these! My Ted Cash snail capper has about played out!! It’s worked well for going on fifteen years, so no complaints, but the Polish Capper seats the caps too! One less piece of equipment and one less step in the process...

I’ve got a set of 58s that are borrowed so I don’t think Dremeling is an option! Thanks! Sorry about hijacking the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does take a bit of learning the correct angle and how to work it. After you use it 3-4 times it gets easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
