Do they make a capper for screw on bottle caps?

I looked on the net but the only cappers I see are for pry off lids.

The caps look the same. They might work with a conventional capper. Soon as I get a screw-off bottle, I'll let you know.

Drive down any road, you should be able to pick up a hundred a mile. I looked on some brewing sites and their cappers all specify round top bottles.  But then they sell round top bottles too.

O.K. Sorry it took so long, but I had a real aspiration to empty 'em myself. So I capped a couple with crown caps, and they don't leak, but I couldn't get them to screw off short of using pliers. The bottles were Woodchuck Draft Cider, and had a typical screw-type mouth. The caps I have are left over from the '60's and have a cork gasket; don't know if that part matters, but it's working.            ... anything else you need me to empty?

No Cornbelt, I wouldn't want to be responsible for your delinquency, and I thank you again
