I'm no snake wrangler, so I don't expect to be picking up any snakes with this.I do however plan to use these for picking up trash and these look like they will be plenty strong enough.Nice and sturdy with a good grip. No more weak clamping with plastic jaws. I recommend you try them out.

I use this to pick up trash and fallen branches while riding on my mower. This thing is very solid and capable of picking up some fairly heavy branches. Occasionally I'll accidently lock it when I didn't intend to but it's not a dealbreaker.

Works pretty good but sometimes won’t release easily enough.

Just opened my new catcher and I’m concerned right from the start! I have owned and this type of catcher form many years and caught lots of rattlesnakes. First of all it’s not designed as pictured. The lower arm of the jaw is not angled from the long arm as shown. It looks like about 20-30 degrees but really it’s only slightly angled but virtually straight. This is very important from a safety standpoint. You SHOULD NOT attempt to grab a snake that is coiled and ready to strike as shown in the image. Not only is this the most dangerous situation but the snake is able to move it’s head and upper body quickly making it very difficult to grab, but where you want to grab it. DO NOT grab the snake in the lower half of the body or near the tail as it is still able to strike. If you give the snake room to move, it will and lengthen out and start to move away and this is both the safest and best opportunity to catch it near the head. You need to be able to grab the snake while being in as close to a standing position as possible for your personal safety as you can move more freely and quickly. However (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT) with this catcher you will need to bend over to lower the handle in order to get the lower arm of the jaw under the snake. This puts you on the snake’s level with your head and upper body and is a difficult position to move quickly if the snake becomes agressive. Not saying this won’t work but just beware.

I've used other snake grabbers before and they just didn't seem to be sturdy or hold the snake when the grabber is in locked position. This grabber is different. It's much more sturdy and I like how the lock ratchets as you close it.I've been missing eggs for a few weeks. An egg here, an egg there. One day I only got one egg from my small flock. I wasn't sure if the birds were slowing their laying because of the heat and I never could find a snake.This morning I opened the coop and checked the nesting boxes for any early eggs and two of my ceramic eggs were gone. It has to be a snake, not the heat that's causing a decrease in eggs. I looked in the coop and also in the pen (our birds no longer free-range due to an ever-present chicken hawk problem). I couldn't find it. A little later I searched the coop again. Couldn't find it. Then I went back and looked in two nesting boxes the hens no longer use. There it was.I got my new snake grabber, snatched the reptile, locked the lever, hauled it outside the pen, and dispatched it with snake shot. Note: Please don't write comments with outrage I should have let the poor thing go.There are thousands of acres in which they can feed. The only off limit area is the chicken pen and coop. I don't even care of they're in the barn catching field mice. Stay out of the chicken area. That goes for rats and mice also.This snake grabber is much easier to use than the ones I purchased a few years ago. It seems more balanced and I really like how the grabber ratchets. I'll order more of these.8/6/18 ETA: I liked these snake grabbers so much I bought two more of them. One of the new grabbers needed the little acorn nuts tightened - these are the ones used on the little bar that locks the mechanism. If you find the grabber is not locking, check to see if the nuts are loose. I just hand-tightened them and they stayed in place. It's nice repair parts are included with each grabber, although I hope I never need them.
