CONIBEAR SAFETY GRIPPER

A conibear safety gripper is a trapping safety tool that everyone should own. This small, simple and inexpensive device could save you from severe injury or even death. Many trappers use body gripping traps commonly referred to as conibear traps to target muskrat, mink, otter and beaver.   The design of the body gripping trap is pretty simple.  Two metal square jaws are hinged together and they're powered by one or two springs. The "dog" is attached to a trigger which holds the two jaws open in the set position.   As the animal passes through the trap, the trigger releases and the springs compress the jaws around the animal.
