I build mine because you can customize them and it is fun and rewarding like loading your own ammo. There is something about making a catch with something you made yourself. It is also nice to mix and match components to suit you or your target/application.

It costs about $100 to build 100 -5 foot snares including buying the cable cutters. Averages out to about 1.00 each. Bench mount swaggers start at $99 and can go to $300 or more. Which add more to your cost.

If using only only a couple dozen buy them, using 100's or more build them. You don't need expensive tools, just cable cutters, a hammer and a block of steel with a ^ ridge welded to it or a standard screw driver. No swagger needed, just hammer your ferrules and cross punch for extra safety in holding power:

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Agree with BC Tomcat 100%. Even if you start out buying,you are gonna need to make some too to use up leftover camlocks,killsprings etc after catches..

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
