How to Night latch a foothold trap using dremel tool

My version of how to night latch traps. Duke #3 coil spring foothold trap.

Clever idea - but you're grinding the night latch too deep that is why you had pan travel.

Good video. But what I don't understand is why the heck don't they build in a nite latch on the pan to start with? It can't cost the much to do when making traps by the thousands.

Trehan Creek Outdoors, thank you! some trap models do come nite latched and or more beefed up from the factory. They are also a little more expensive. These are less expensive and pretty easy to modify if you have the resources on hand. It basically comes down to do you want to do it yourself or pay for it, some people set “economy” traps (no negative intended) the way they come without modification and catch animals that way. Personal preference and experience I guess, have taught me that with a little tweaking I can make them work better and last longer.
