I've got the two common sizes and they are both easy enough to squeeze but then i'm not small and spend a lot of time pruning trees with secateurs but I wouldn't say any other adult would struggle with them.

jakepotjo 3 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 here is a pic of the spring is it the same as yours Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Jo I am certainly no small guy either but the Genuine BMI's can take some setting without the proper tool that Micky showed, the Chinky copied traps have weaker springs that a child could set. Get the setting tool and life will be easier for you OTC Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thats a BMI Magnum 110, shouldn't be any problem at all...get some spinach down you... Quote Link to post
