Overall Rating
This trap is primarily designed for catching voles in Austria and Germany. Although people have attempted to trap moles with it, the dimensions are all wrong. The opening is too small and the mole will not be far enough inside when it triggers the mechanism – resulting in no more than a bloody nose.
Additionally, the very narrow hole it needs to be inserted down means that it is near impossible to adequately clear the run of fallen soil, or to correctly align the openings with the tunnel.
The primary advantage of this trap is that there is no dangerous or fiddly setting mechanism. All that you need to do is pull up on the handle (although it often takes a few attempts to get the latch to engage properly).

Verdict
Not specifically designed for moles, so the dimensions are too small. Difficult to place correctly. Avoid.
