This trap potentially has the power to break the bones in a human hand! Always correctly position and protect your spring traps from non-target species. Regularly check traps by current legislation and risk-assess potential sites to avoid accidents.
Important Legal Information:
A spring trap requires Parliamentary approval under The Spring Traps Approval Act before it can be added to the list of spring traps that can be used in the UK. Before approval the trap must satisfy Parliament it is humane and to this end undergoes rigorous testing during which government researchers measure mechanical characteristics such as velocity, effective mass, clamping and impact forces. Unless a trap satisfies researchers it exceeds predetermined threshold guidelines it will not gain approval. All users must satisfy themselves that they comply with the requirements of the act and traps must only be set where they will not catch animals other than those they are being set for. Traps should only be set on land owned by the person setting them, or where they have permission from the landowner to do so. Avoid setting them on or near public footpaths, or public rights of way. We do not recommend this trap for domestic or amateur use.

This trap definitely looks like it going to get the job done, but so far on 5 occasions, the bait is gone, but no rat. The pressure required to set off the trap, would mean the rat would need to be the size of rabbit. I have a video of a fox just casually eating the bait, and it didn't activate the trap. In another video, a magpie happily pecked at the bait 3 or 4 times, and it never activated the trap. The trigger weight required seems to be to much, it needs to be more sensitive.
It got the rat!
