I've got a bunch of Bridger 120 magnums, never had to adjust any to set out of I think four dozen. Since I bought them new it is hard to compare exactly, but I have some Duke, Northwoods and another brand that I bought used and Victors that I bought new as a kid, the Bridgers are stronger springed than any of the others. They also have short springs which makes them hard to set by hand (they get much easier to set the second year, but seem to still close just as fast and strong). As stated they have small spring eyes which makes a lot of setters not work on them. The safeties suck. I personally like a loose swinging hook safety like they have rather than the Belisle style (i've one of those, and it is easier to set but appears at least as strong as the Bridgers) so that I can squeeze the springs down, tilt the trap and let the safety swing into place and relax my grip on the spring. . . But two problems with the Bridger safeties, a) at least on all my traps they have one safety going each way, so once you set the trap at least one safety is going to fall off while you are placing it in position, no matter how you hold the trap, and b) they are long enough that with the safeties set the jaws are almost too far apart to grip with the thumb and fingers to squeeze together.
I think they are a good trap for the money, unlike some others have stated on here, but not as good as Belisle, Savageau, etc. You have to decide if the extra quality is worth the extra pinch to your pocketbook.
I will say I caught both thumbs in a new Bridger when placing it in a marten box, and they hit hard and have a lot of grip strength! Most painful trap I've been caught in!
