" ... The traps look and feel strong and substantial but the plastic material they use is what I can only describe as brittle. ... I ordered 6 traps and 2 of them have broken already - one while I was pulling back the "jaw" to set it, and another for no apparent reason at all (after the mouse had eaten all of the bait, of course). ... Yes, the plastic material and the spring load feel strong and solid but where the "jaw" connects to the base is weak and breaks easily. ... "
" ... I have gone to the old style wooden ones, and sticky traps. ... "
" ... It's extremely flimsy, I set one and tripped it to test the sensitivity, and it immediately broke (see picture). ... "
" ... The traps seem pretty pet resistant, but it made from cheap plastic. ... I used for 1-2 times and it broke like 2 out of 10. ... "
" ... After activating, the cheap plastic broke and I was unable to reset or reuse the trap. ... "
" ... The new versions break very easily, not because of mice. ... They break because the plastic parts are not strong enough to hold the trap open. ... "
" ... A number of the traps broke while my husband was trying to bait them. ... "
" ... I got only 2 to 3 uses before the latch broke and rendered these traps useless. ... "

" ... Another perhaps .01 cent of plastic would maybe fix this. ... "
" ... The reason I give 4 out of 5 stars is that the product seems designed for one time use but I have reused the traps multiple times. ... That is a lot of plastic waste for single use. ... "
