RTS Body Grip Trap Setter

Yes, the design is specifically engineered for one-handed operation. This allows you to stabilize the trap with one hand while using the tool to compress the springs with the other, making the process much faster and safer in the field.

It is designed for standard body grip traps, particularly larger models where spring tension can be difficult to manage. Because it hooks onto the spring arms rather than the holes, it provides a secure grip on most common trap configurations.

The leverage provided by the 15-inch design allows you to apply consistent force to the spring arms, which is crucial when mud, ice, or rust makes the mechanism difficult to move. It gives you the mechanical advantage needed to compress stiff springs without struggling.

At 2 lbs, it is lightweight enough to carry comfortably in a pack or clipped to your belt. It is designed to be a portable, essential companion rather than a bulky piece of equipment.

Setting large body grip traps by hand can be dangerous if a spring slips. This tool keeps your hands away from the jaws and provides a controlled, secure way to compress the springs, significantly reducing the risk of accidental trigger or injury.
