Stainless Steel Taps - Maple Sap Pail Spout & Hook - Spiles for making Maple Syrup (5)

Worked well. First time tapping trees.

Very sturdy and well made. However, the crazy warm winter ruined sap season in our area this year. Hopefully will get more use next year.

Items are very sturdy and looking forward to using them in the spring for tapping black walnut trees.

The style I was sent in 2021 has a bell or fluted shape to the end of the tap where 5/16 tubing would be attacked. Since the tip flares out, 5/16 tubing will not fit. I was a able to split the end of the tubing with a razor and shimmy it on,but def not ideal and almost caused a major issue for me as I was set up to install with a tube to 5gal. bucket system. Otherwise these are some seriously heavy duty beautiful taps. I noticed one review said he was worried about bending the tip when tapping into tree...You should NEVER be hitting any tap (metal or plastic) hard enough to bend it. These taps go in with 4 or 5 light taps super easy. If you are hitting any tap hard enough to worry about bending, you are driving your tap past the sap wood and potentially causing serious damage to the tree. Please do your research before you start drilling holes in live trees.

A little spendy, but worked perfectly for our first maple tapping season. Make sure you use the correct drill bit size, otherwise you will have issues with it plugging.

First using them. Havent removed them yet but so far I am very pleased with them.

very nice!!
