I need 50 mouse traps. These are the small 8.5 cm x 4.5 cm traps with
a wood base (about playing card size), not the big rat trap size.

No, I don't have a monster infestation of rodents. I teach physics and
my students have to make mouse trap powered cars. My only known source
of traps has been put out of business.

Does anyone know of a source of 50 traps? Better yet, is there a
company that makes mouse traps in Manila so I could get them right from
the factory?

Here's some for $.17 each. Google is your friend.

I particularily like the plastic ones from China, but no price.

Local school here in the States was into the same project. Teacher tried
his best to get around the suppliers. In the end I went to the local
hardware store, told the owner what we were doing. A box of 72 traps was
$40.00, the store owner reduced the price to $32.00 then offered to split
the difference with me as long as the instructor mentioned the supplies were
donated by XX and YY. Everything turned out fine.... (you need a
sponsor).

I have a rather unusual idea. Why don't these "students" make their
own. They would have to learn to make springs. this involves learning
what metals to use. How to bend metal, how to heat treat and temper to
make a spring. you could also have them do it like in former times with
only a forge and color to measure tempering(like I can do).

Use tools (maybe a lawsuit possible here). It amazes me how little of
actual practical value i learned in school.
