Are the eyelets closed tighter than on the Magnums? I’ve had three or four, can’t remember which, where the cable/wire pulled through the eyelet and you’re left with the spring hanging form one eye, completely useless. I check them before I make up my snares and they all seem to uniformly fairly tight but the odd one is not holding the wire in the loop.

And I’ve had a terrible time with cam locks. They’re just not holding. I got them from Halfords last year and tossed the package so I don’t know what brand they are. They’re black, with stamped teeth, hardened, can’t put a file to them. And I’ve also tried some galvanized, same result. And this is all with 1/16 wire. I just made up some snares with 3/32 wire so we’ll see how they work. Put the first of them out today
