Bought a RTS setter 4 years ago. Best trapline tool ever, however today while out settling it stopped working. I pump the handle but it will not compress the springs. After fiddling for a few minutes I could get it to compress every 4-5 pumps but the hooks slide off the spring. Worked fine last week. Looks like I can take it apart but curious if anyone has had this problem? I ended up setting by hand in beaver stumps but that just reminded me how much I like the RTS. Maybe this is a common problem with a simple fix?

All is well! Trapset was a huge help.....just a little standard maintenance (less than 60 seconds) and I was back in business. My setter is operating like it is brand-new. Great product and even better customer support!
