M.I.N.E.® Drill Socket

The Manually Initiated Nuisance Elimination® (M.I.N.E.®) Drill Socket, paired with the 11-gauge M.I.N.E.® Clip, provides a fast, secure, and field-proven solution for attaching 18-60™ Trap Panels to steel posts.

Engineered for speed and consistency, the M.I.N.E.® Drill Socket is used with a standard drill to rapidly tighten M.I.N.E.® Clips during trap assembly. While standing inside the trap enclosure, the clip is wrapped around the steel post and panel. The clip tails are then inserted into the Drill Socket and tightened at full drill speed, securing the panel firmly to the post in just seconds—eliminating hand-twisting and reducing installation time.

Manufactured from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel, the M.I.N.E.® Clip delivers exceptional strength and long-term durability in demanding field conditions. When combined with the Drill Socket, the system ensures consistent tension, repeatable installs, and a professional-grade connection every time.

To support multiple trapping configurations, we offer two clip designs:

• Standard Triangle Clip – A triangular design engineered for use with t-posts and 18-60™ Trap Panels

• Large-Diameter Circular Clip – A circular design built for use with the M.I.N.E.® Gate when paired with a t-post and trap panels

Beyond trap assemblies, the M.I.N.E.® Clip system is highly versatile and can also be used to secure other fencing materials to T-posts, making it a reliable solution for a wide range of fencing, containment, and field applications.

Whether you’re building new traps or upgrading existing setups, the M.I.N.E.® Drill Socket and Clip system delivers faster installs, stronger connections, and dependable performance in the field.
