What kind of tools have you made. I have made a few setters
f or the 4 coil traps I have. A dirt hole punch , and a conabear setter.

Wouldnt quite say its homemade but I've taken some medium handled shovels, and cut down the the blade so its narrower 4-5". Got the idea from Locklear, Moves dirt a lot better than a tile spade and lighter.

Made a lot of stands for bodygrips.

BG stands, BG boxes, trapping hammers, disposable stakes, stake driver's, rebar stakes, drowning rods, drowning cables, cookie cutters, live traps and tons of trap mods.

A takedown army shovel cut down the width to 4 inch or so makes a fantastic trappers trowel. I also make my stake drivers out of 24 inch x 3/8” or 1/2” impact extents. The tool steel is really tuff. I’m still searching for the perfect hammer. I wish Eastwing made a 32oz masonry hammer.

Since we have been allowed to trap fisher i have made coni boxes

Trap basket, catch pole that's about it.

Sifters, several pairs of trap setters for big coilsprings, longsprings and bodygrips, hammer, bg boxes, drags, a couple traps, and sleds to pull everything behind the snowmachine.

I also made a stake puller for the earth anchors.

Care to tell us what you did?

All I did was use 1x1 sq.tube 52" long a grab hook and a piece
of angle I had left.

Trapper Caps, Wooden and steel stakes (my design), Lure - Bait and (at-the set) container types, BG stands (all types and sizes - finally satisfied on this one), Cookie cutter, Set marker for marking location of trap/snare, Earth anchors & driver & puller, Tile spade and trowels (Stainless steel handle custom point), Cage Live box and PVC traps, All sizes Coni Cubbies/Boxes, Mink tubes, Overhead Coni roofs for baited coni's, Bait holder for Coni' triggers, Coni Safety Gripper, Too many Dirt Sifters (finally made one I like), Portable trap boiling set ups, Trap dye (don't know if you call that a tool but don't buy much - gather & mix natural material), Trap hanging rig after dying or dipping (no more nails in wooden 1 X's), Muskrat and Beaver Floats, Muskrat Colony traps, Sparrow Elevator traps, Trap setters (but finally went back to buying them), Grapples - Steel and wooden Drags, Fastening devices for extension chain, Coni Swivels, Snare(s) and drowning locks, Wire and later Cable drowners, and finally a more sensitive trigger system for my Canine Ram Snares. Some of these are mods to existing tools but have tried a lot of adaptation through the years. Before Covid I used a lot of latex gloves cut/stretched for trap pan covers (cheap at 3.99/box of 100) but the virus made them way too expensive for any more of that. Probably forgetting a few but these come to mind................................................ the mike

The jury is still out on this wire roll tamer.
I glued and stitched a piece of inner tube into a giant rubber band to keep my wire roll together. I think the stitching is going to tear out, but we shall see......




Also, I'm just a small time hobby trapper with a bad back.
I walk into places because efficiency is not a concern for me.
But a pack basket would kill me.
So, I use a trash can in my Mystery Ranch Popup 18, which is a small meat hauler pack. But it doesn't leave all the weight hanging on my shoulders crushing my already failed spine.
