I bought one, and won't be buying any more. Don't rate them to be honest. Temperamental, flaw with that dog, and not very versatile.  They ain't exactly cheap over here either. Also only legal for use on squirrel and rat. I just can't see them catching on.

Just giving my honest opinion.

I have caught a few Squirrels and a mink in them, one fault with the large ones is the treadle plate is too small, { same size as the small trap }, i have made the plates bigger, i also think they would work better as a run through in a tunnel.

I too made the plate bigger on the one I bought, and moved the pan and dog right over to one corner, past the spring which help somewhat with keeping that dog out of the animals face when fired.

Thanks for all the responses.  Yes, the KORO trap has some flaws.  The most obvious is the positioning of the trap dog.  To avoid the dog from flying up and hitting the squirrel, causing a miss catch, this squirrel was conditioned to bait placed on and under the right side of the trap pan.  That is why the corner strike.  

The pan size itself is rather small for this trap.

The KORO traps provided by PERDIX are finished with olive drab zinc electroplating.  This is not the case in North America... this KORO was spray painted to prevent rusting and provide camouflage.  This process of zinc electroplating may result in the higher cost of the trap in the UK.

      This is OUELL RM trap.  Used for muskrats...nethertheless, it has proven itself highly effective in the dispatch of grey squirrels.  These photo are of the RM set with the safety on.  It is shown without it's artificial cedar tunnel.

      Elgeeco's Procull squirrel trap.  Very well designed and engineered!

      This trap was introduced by Jordan Budenski around 2014.  Extremely powerful trap... I put rubber bumpers at the end of the channels to protect the kill bar from damaging the metal.  The only down side there is not a saftey.  First known as a the Rat Cracker... now called a Rodent Tank.  In some circles, it is referred to as a "Hell Box".

      Ouell has risen the bar.  411 is equally effective in the destruction of grey squirrels, weasels, stoats, rats and similar vermin.  Strong construction, galvanized, very light and easy to set.  It will kill outright.  Officially approved... Certifié Québec.  If approved by UK standards, 411 would compete against Kania 2000 and Elgeeco's Procull in reducing the UK's grey squirrel population.
