Awesome video! I just made 8 of these in a matter of minutes.I did not use the special tool though, I used a set of linesman pliers with a crimper and it held nice and tight. I purchased the material from a local hardware store and most likely paid to much but I just wanted to try and it cost $ 16.44! Thank's again for a very informative video.

This worked well, I caught my groundhog with the snare. Attached a rope to the snare and pulled him out through a Haveaheart trap to hold him. He now has a nice riverfront view about 20 miles from here. The lock held him tight and I had to remove the snare using coat hanger wire by pulling on the penny, then working around the head.

You can legaly snare most animals in North America. It is very humane if you know what your doing. If someone was to take a certified trapping course, it would educate people that watch videos like these. Instead of saying to 121,367 people that their use is illegal and not humane. This guy did an awesome video, otherwise excellent job! The 3 day trapping course costs $390 here in Canada.

Great video, best use of a penny I've seen in years. This can also be done with stainless plate, for those wrongly screaming about 'it's illegal to mutilate a penny' (which it is not, unless you are counterfeiting). If you have any issues related to the penny, quote them 18 USC 331 as it was actually written. It is an anti-counterfeiting law, to stop people from bleaching paper or re-striking coins. When you use a coin or a bill for 'art, a tool, or other non-currency uses', it is NOT protected under 18 USC 331. There have been various reviews of the old 'penny roller' device (used to make plate-jewelry), and it is still sold in America (much safer than putting a penny on the railroad tracks).

Quote directly from the website - This federal government statute specifically prohibits mutilation, cutting, disfiguring, perforating, and other acts that are intended to make the bills or coin unable to be used. - Quote: Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. - See more at: codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/17/333#sthash.W02rCNgY.dpufThe U.S. Secret Service is responsible for enforcing the law.

Just because a company sells a tool that will roll and flatten pennies doesn't make them or the tool legal. The same applies for many many things on the current market. It is also illegal to tint windows to a certain degree of tint but that doesn't stop companies and stores from still selling it..

buck6519652003 Oh, good grief. Give it a REST! The US Code is DIRECTLY POINTED at maiming, restriking or reprinting money TO PREVENT COUNTERFEITING, not to keep you from making a dollar into a ring, or a penny into a washer. It is to stop you from bleaching a $1 and re-printing it as a $100. Call the U.S. Treasury and ask them (as many others have), if they will come for you if you take a pair of pliers, bend a penny in half, and intentionally use it as a mounting bracket in your chicken house. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO! The call is free, and agents are standing by. Quit sounding stupid and make the call, since you CLEARLY won't take anyone else's word for it.

Same technique works well with a washer instead of a penny and they are very cheap to buy. I like to make my snares 10-12 feet long in case you aren't very close to something to tie off to. I also use 3/32 cable because a coyote can twist off smaller cable. I have, in fact, seen them nearly twist off the 3/32 stuff. And, by the way, if you set them right you can catch your prey species around the neck and it kills them outright. Not the most glamorous way to die but it certainly beats a body/leg catch and you don't have to kill the critter before you can remove it from the snare. In a lot of places these are legal for catching fur bearers and predators as long as they are tagged with your contact info and you have the appropriate license. Good Video bro.

Snares can be used on hogs. Feral hogs have been a big problem in Louisiana and Texas for many years, but you must use 3/16 or even 1/4 cable. Some of these hogs are up to 250lb and a few are 300lb more or less. Me and a friend were duck hunting and had about 10 of them try to freight train us and all we had was steel shot. We fired into the pack and they change direction. Scary when you have no place to get away from them.

Although they were all aluminum the end stop works just fine. However, make sure when crimping the cable in the end stop, DON'T allow any cable to protrude through the stop..

Snares are legal in almost every state. Some states require you to only use snares. Your fancy swedge look like a tube flaring tool. You might have got ripped off on that one. A hammer or a vise would be a much better tool to use. I don't think the dead critter will care much what it looks like.
