It looks good, seems well made, basically a copy of a Havahart trap. Such a good deal on sale I bought two. I need a Harbor Freight ass kicker to remind me not to do such things. Anyway, it is strong enough to hold a possum, not strong enough to hold a large raccoon or a pissed off neighbor's cat. The thing will rack enough to allow the door to be pried open enough for something to squeeze out. Just enough corners cut and just flimsy enough to be not quite worthless - but close.
