Yes they are,..and I am well made up with them..
When I first handled the original Dutch Talpex traps ,..some 25 years ago, they were a mystery to me
But now,.I am far older,..far fatter,..but considerably more adaptable,.and I like the Magnum Talpa...
They are hardly precision made, ..finely honed works of art,..but as workmanlike 'rough and ready' tools for the job,..., they are perfectly adequate...
HOWEVER,..that being said,..I would urge folk to think carefully before purchasing similar copies from China....
All the best,..CHALKWARREN...
