Yes I bought some micro locks 2 years ago, think I got them from pro trapper at the time.

Have you tried making any Ian?

 

Could do with an article on here from people who make from scratch rather than just assemble from parts, like I do.

no they made by heritage on here ... fantastic bit of kit better than micro locks and they 100 legal tegater..... i tested some along with woodga.and i think he agree they spot on,almost half the length of the re-lax-alock.... aint sure if heritage sells to the public or through a supply chain tho.

micro locks are fine ian but they a none relaxing lock .. best to stay withing the law i guess and use a relaxing type lock

Micro locks are perfectly legal. They are not self locking.

try them tegater,,, they lock up as a lock should .. the lable on the tin aint always the right lable .. they will kill every fox they hit.

As I said earlier I have tried them and in my opinion they work. It is out of pure choice I went with the relax a lock, as they looked the easiest to make at the time and I wanted to copy them. I used washers for a while as a stop gap which I believe can work quite well, but never continued as I thought they looked ameater.

I haven't yet found a good way of copying the relax a lock with my limited toolbox!

the relax -a-lock on the left to big and visable for my choice... hard to make a good loaded loop with them....... the second from left is the heritage lock.. smaller, more compact and relaxes the same as the first..... the next is woodgas lock... he sent me hundreds of these down and they small, neat, discrete,fast as hell and double up perfect for mink snares to.... the last is the micro lock ,, and as the name says it locks..... ive tried all now and happy to stay with the two in the middle.

A little bit of custom then for those two as I would be happy to purchase a few to try.

they fantastic locks.

I still like the relax a lock and as to the visibility of them, I still believe that a wire set in the correct place and manner is invisible to the fox. Scent may give it away if careless as with any wire.
