Yes and add in a little window of some sort in the lid to see if anything caught.

[@RinneTraps]

[@ASCSD]

These traps work well with mice, but the rats chewed through the plastic hood on the trap and got all the peanut butter and cinnamon mix. Which totally destroyed the traps. So these metal traps appear larger and may work for the rats.

The fact that the copy is made of metal actually makes it much more durable. I've seen amazon reviews for the original Flip N Slide mousetrap where people had experienced issues with mice chewing the plastic-made original/authentic traps & completely destroying them. Luckily, with the metal, mice and other rodents won't be able to chew it at all. I think the original Flip N Slide should've been made of metal to start with.

[@Snarkbar]

Waaaay more expensive to make it out of metal as a start-up product, but now that they know it works, they could make an upgraded version out of aluminum sheeting or something.

I think an automotive episode would be very helpful - how to look for mouse evidence in your car (like random fluffy balls of insulation), where do they go, what is the typical damage they inflict, and most of all the best ways to get rid of them, or repel them (does the cut up bar soap method keep them away like my mechanic told me?).

[@josh10722]

Got the real deal Dizzy Dunker from your link delivered yesterday. Beautiful thing, always worth getting the real deal folks!

[@JohnVHLife]

I will say, the plastic one flips faster, the metal one seemed to tip slower.

[@Korbert]

But the heavier metal will make it even harder for the mice to back out to the balance point once the metal is in the tipping motion. Pros and cons for both, but in the end both had 100% success ratio.

[@chancepaladin]

Thanks Sean love your videos like always,😮 what if they were homing mice they come back to your place they know their way ,just like pigeons😅😊

[@bruce9987]

The original flip and slide caught 46 mice through the fall right next to the house but did not hold up well in the outdoors in Minnesota the plastic became very brittle , a lot of money for inferior plastic for 4 months of use September October November December. I think I'll try the metal one and see if it holds up better in Minnesota.

[@user-ps1qj5mo2s]

sounds like the plastic isn't resistance enough to weather and UV?

[@davidsonfamily5657]

Another great video. I wonder if, in the dead of winter, in an unheated shed or barn, the cold feel of metal under their paws, would deter the mice from exploring their way into the trap. Very fair minded of you to show a competitor's knock-off that does almost as well as your original. JD

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@randygreen007]

I have to say that the sound of the metal trap closing is almost as satisfying as the sound of a snap trap. 💪😎👍 Maybe most went into the original because they are following a phenomenon trail?

[@johnniewoodard648]

Shawn, you got me. This being April 1, and seeing almost all of the mice going up the ramp to your trap...I thought for certain you were off camera feeding the mice up that ramp. Sorry for underestimating your principles.

[@rawbacon]

Gotta admit I like it, reminds me of old fashioned tin toys.

[@victorbarajas4705]

What I found works great was…. I sprayed rain-x for cars on the flipper to make is more slippery. Might also work great on the metal one. Although my plastic one did fade and became brittle after a hot summer outside. I hate to say it but i might have to try the metal one.

[@mamatuja]

How far out do you take the mice for release?🤔🤔🤔

[@scottclayton2440]

When your real hungry you stop at the first feeding station you come to. Is it a drive thru? Nope, we get to eat in the dinning hall with the nice glass windows.

[@TroyFrederickLim]

Overtime, the metal could get rusty and make the hinge stuck.

[@ivanivanovic5857]

The hood and base being metal is good, but the metal flap is heavier, thus has more inertia and flips slower. The best design would have a fast flipping light plastic flap, and a metal base and hood.

[@rgruenhaus]

Should have stated the price comparison.

[@John_Ridley]

It's not obvious to me that metal is better than plastic in this case. Metal rusts, especially since mice will be peeing on it. Plastic when inside can last decades.

[@iwanabana]

[@robertkalinic335]

U expect to be using mouse trap for decades? Do u also plan to have it included in your testament?

Mice and rats have been documented chewing through the plastic version to get to the bait. That's why metal is better in this case.

Often a trap that works great in a low food environment, will suck in someplace like a garden with tons of food. I used one, No luck at all.. not even 1. I had both mice and rats in my garden. Snap straps and cage traps caught many.. for me.. Because there was easier food in the garden, they didn't have to go searching for food on the top of a bucket.

[@jesseblack0713]

Great video keep them coming. I like your version a lot better. Are you still doing any of the survival videos. I've been trying for last 6 months to make an atlatl.

There’s a shop good at metal dies and coating, and they needed to make something. It’s not a bad thing, unless you invested in the molds to make the plastic version.

Metal is better- I had three of your plastic traps and had two break; one had the balance flipper break at the side tabs making it unusable. Two had the ramp tabs break when I went to take the lids off. Was able to fix the ramps. Was able to catch over 15 mice in my sheds though.

[@RaycrowX]

How did the flipper break in that way?

[@jsEMCsquared]

[@bobmcl2406]

Interesting. One would think that it's more expensive to make that trap out of metal. Certainly it is never going to get chewed up! I admire your commitment to ecology, but I'm afraid I use snap traps on the native deer mice that get into my house from time to time. At least I put the victims out near the woods, so they likely don't got to waste.

[@portersorensen8814]

He does it so youtube doesn't demonetize him

[@benjurqunov]

Despite the raw material being more expensive than plastic. Making that trap of sheetmetal will initially be cheaper. The stamping dies and machine to make those parts is comparatively cheap compared to the injection moulding dies and machinery to make the plastic counterpart. But plastic moulding is much cheaper once the production numbers justify the initial higher machinery costs.

[@Caseytify]

STAMPEDE!!!

[@robertwalton9196]

What’s your go to bait for mice that absolutely works.

[@RaycrowX]

Shawn has a video on this called Mousetrap Bait Test. TL;DR peanut butter and sunflower seeds

[@spudrubble]

Only plus I see is the ramp. The plastic ramp clip point broke easily after time.

[@RaycrowX]

It’s a weak link. I recommend taking off the ramp before moving any other part of the trap.

[@AndrewL0000]

I have had the original flip and slide for 2 years and have never had a mouse even touch it. I always set them up in front of cameras so I see the mice but they have zero interest. I use peanut butter up the ramp and on the flipper.

[@RaycrowX]

That’s pretty disappointing. I think it illustrates that no trap is a guarantee and each situation will require some trial and error. I’d recommend deploying snap traps, glue traps, and poison to see what works best. With those you will have run the gamut of possible solutions.

[@muskokamike127]

This is a perfect example of the gov't NOT doing it's job. If they have a patent on the flip n slide, all places selling the copies should be charged and all imports of the copy banned/seized at the border.

[@Eranderil]

Dropped this comment on another recent ripoff video, but hopefully more coverage and all that: Add some gore aspects to your trap design. Emboss a skull across your raised cover portion or something. China actually has really strict regulations about "gore" in their market. Look up "terraria chinese version." Pay special attention to how the bosses needed to be reskinned to be less gorey. (Not that they are all that gorey to begin with but whatever.) It might not fix the issue of them ripping off the designs- but it has two big advantages: It gives your products a distinct and unique look, and it should make it so that the chinese companies are at least delayed in production and reverse engineering. The big downside is that you couldn't sell to China then.

[@mib20000]

I bought the original flip and slide. I put it in my garage and used a wyze camera to monitor and the mice are WAY smarter than yours because as soon as they got on top of the bucket they avoided the ramp at all costs . I caught all my mice with snap traps or 8x5 sticky trays

[@allenstyer205]

Original is still better. The heavier the slide the less affect the weight of the mice have on it and it will tip slower. That's prolly why your pet mouse was able to find the balance point. It had time to shift its weight back and stop it from tipping.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Well, you know what they say, competition drives innovation (do they say that? 🤔 Also, who is they?) If they stole the original design and made it better, maybe steal the stolen one and make it _even_ better; there's no reason this can't be a benefit to the overall design

Assuming the plastic flipper is lighter than the steel, it will have a lower weight ratio compared to the mouse and therefore flip more determinately once the balance point has been reached - as demonstrated by your pet. If the enamel becomes scratched, steel *may* rust from mouse urine. Aluminium might be good as a lightweight flipper.
