This is a superbly easy tool to use...an almost perfect design....if I were to suggest an improvement, it would be about a 2" extension on the long handles to exert more leverage...us geezers are not as strong as the kids....just a thought.

The design of the product is fine. However the metal was so soft that after setting only 3 number 220 traps, the metal bent and was unusable. I bent the metal back in shape a couple of times and it would again bend when I attempted to use it. Fortunately we operate a farm and had some old scrap metal that we used to weld on it to reinforce it. We had to remove the rivet, weld pieces on either side the length of the set tool and replace the rivet with a bolt and a lock nut. After this repair it worked as designed.

Its a good unit and I can see where it has its advantages BUT , For a guy that has bad shoulders ( rotater cuff ) it is not at all practical.It is to short. It is made very well and looks and feels like good quality. I just cant squeeze it down to set the traps.

item too small for the force needed to set the 330 traps. Item made of good material but way too short to get the required squeeze to compress the heavy duty springs. This item is OK for the 220, but the 330 would need at least another 12 inches in length for an average man to effectively use.

I don't know how you'd set a Duke trap without one of these, but it's still not easy. It takes quite a lot of strength to close the jaws...two hands for me and then you need to set the safety pins with your other....third hand? I'm going to weld some plates perpendicular onto the handles so they'll be stable on a flat surface. Then I can close the jaws with a knee to have a hand free.
