I'm struggling here due to being weak from sickness and it's the first one I've done in a long time. The original springs are still strong and I bet these traps are 50 plus years old. I'll buy a few more spring to finish them up. Last edited by Wolfdog91; 07/19/24 06:03 PM. Reason: Video fix Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

If you dont have the spring buried when setting them it will usually bend the jaw legs away the tips creating an offset or poorly lined up trap jaws. Last edited by lumberjack391; 07/19/24 08:33 PM.

My real problem here is that I've been sick and I'm weaker than normal. It's not hard to do without the vise normally. But I recommend using one.
