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

make sure you have the drill bit . this one came with the kit . I used a hand drill but a cordless would have helped. Also mark the bit with a marker or tape for depth. The sap was dripping out as soon as I thumped it in so make sure the cleaned buckets are ready. If you use a plastic bucket bungie it to the tree or its self strong winds might blow it away before it fills with sap. Once sap flows strong make sure you check every day I was getting more than 2 gallons out of the big trees. They came out easy enough with using plyers turn back and forth then pull. Tree show little sign of damage now in August. Wash everything in bleach and dry fully before storing it in one of the top buckets youll do alright. Always make sure you sugar down the sap to syrup outside until you reach the 1/4 point. The darker it is the sweeter its going to be. Easer than putting up jam.

HAD ITS ON PLACE TO HANG BUCKET.STAINLESS SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME

An excellent product. Durability to use for many years

These taps appear to be high quality, but the hooks are NOT connected to the spout. Meaning there is nothing preventing the hooks & spouts from easily being lost from each other.

Found this package

Make sure to wash and rinse to remove machining oil. Much better than plastic taps but pricey.

Worked well. First time tapping trees.

Very nice sturdy taps.

Way better then the plastic spouts. Worth every penny.

Lpoks to very sturdy and reuable
