I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

It would be nice if Sleepy Creek increased the jawspread on the No 2 Double Long Spring to equal the jawspread on the 1 3/4 coil spring trap. As it is now, the #2 Double Long Spring is just a 1 1/2 long spring with an additional spring
