Preferred setters for beaver body grip traps?

Trying to wrap my head around who uses what and why.

Made by Coon Creek- Coni Tongs nice lock system

Will have to agree with beaverpeeler. Haha

Absolutely love my RTS heavy duty setters. A heck of a lot easier when you lose your strength from arthritis in your hands, elbows, and shoulders!

You should always know how to set by hand or with a rope but the self locking setters or the caulking gun type setters are the way to go.

Same ones those other two dudes use. they are always with me- I never lose them. They work for all sizes

I quit using my hands when the arthritis got severe. I now use freedom brand setters but was going to buy a pair of locking ones from Coon Creek at the little valley convention this year to try

Here's the freedom brand

what do you do when one of those setters gets stuck in the trap?

Set it one handed with the saftey so you can flip it on with the same hand.

I set them by hand on the line, if I'm compressing the springs at home to make things faster on the line I use some sleepy creek setters I've had around as long as I can remember

Don’t put your hands in there. lol.

Setting those big traps by hand can’t be good for you.I’ve been using bridger locking setters but they don’t very well on 1022s so I bought the caulk gun setter and it seems nice but kind of slow-like me.

Its all technique and practice.

Yep, I just find something fairly solid to push against, grab the spring and lean into it, then I can just hold it there with my thumb while I use my fingers to set the safety. Harder to explain than it is to do

Absolutely. Work smarter, not harder.

Man, not sure I could do it with hands.
Will check out some of the setters.
I just watched a video of using a rope and that seems like an easy back up.
Thanks everyone!
