Holdaway 2 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Took a rat out of the stables today with another of snaremans Pro Victors. The power in the modified victor proves itself yet again. Bait was Sakarat monitoring bait. H Quote Link to post

BETTER THAN MANY RUSTED , AGEING MK4s ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Totally agree DW. You can see the chin bar has snapped the head back perfectly. That trap has been set in the chicken run for over a year without any loss of power to the springs because of the shims, and the funnel/chin bar guarentee a perfect strike every time. I said it when I first saw the mod and I will say it again. It is the best mod I have seen for any trap. I doubt those stoats and weasels that get caught in these (by accident) don't know what hits them. Cheers Glenn. H Edited April 15, 2009 by Holdaway Quote Link to post

RatSnatcher 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Who sells the Victor rat traps over here apart from Killgerm?? OTC I have looked and enquired everywhere, they are cheaper in the usa site but when you wack the import duty and packaging on you get hammered so I alway get them from KG, I have tried and used most of this price range of traps, T.rex .kness. ect and I have resigned to the fact that the pro is the best for me, you can adjust them and add your own settings in various ways so they are versatile for sure, there well made and easily repaired and make a satifying bang when they go off. BOOM there it is Heres a double... Quote Link to post
