Are you sick of those safety latches flopping all ovah the place ? And they Nevah stay where you put them... Well your life is going to be a lot better now....Take some 16 gauge wire, and make 5 turns on the spring ...then 1 wrap around the latch...then finish on the Othah side with 5 more wraps....All done. You can now,slide it up and down the spring and it stays put !

grin As opposed to moving around and going back in the safety position and not firing!

I did this upgrade on a bunch of traps. Not having floppy safety hooks makes them nicer to work with.

Defiantly worth the time to probably save me from wearing a 160 or 220.

Does it work with four wraps? Asking for a friend, he noticed you have four wraps.
