Don't know if im lucky or unlucky!

Looks like you’re lucky to me. I’ve had it happen before, I now get them snug with a wrench vs my fingers.

Yep lucky. Never have had that happen, knock on wood.

Real lucky!!!!

I don't like using them anymore for just that reason. I now only put them on coni's

I also had that happen when I first started using them . Have a wrench in the bag to finish tightening them (pliers will work also)

I did exactly what Ric said. No problems after that.

Looks like Lady Luck was on your side today. Better go buy a lottery ticket !

I had the same thing happen before but mine was tightened down and the coyote pulled it apart. Bought them from a trap supply store, they were very cheaply made. After that they all came off and never used them again. I would have no problem trusting good ones from the hardware store or maybe a different trap supply store.

I wax them and they never open up.

Never had one open up or pull apart if tightened with a wrench or pliers. Did have one unscrew on a beaver drowning rig that was only finger tight. Fortunately, I did not lose anything and learned my lesson to tighten with a tool. I buy mine from trap supply dealers but have thrown a few away if the male threads were not formed well.

Was that a 24 hour check? Very lucky!

How? Easy .. as long as the chain stays tight the trap or cable can't come off the quick link. Chain has to be jiggled around just right to get them to come off .

I use the sleep ez hooks which makes the jiggling not work
