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.

These work fine but They are way over priced for a piece of stainless steel tubing that’s flared and rimmed. Think I’m gonna make my own going forward.

Just what we wanted. Tapping maple trees

very nice!!

high quality and sturdy

These worked great for collecting syrup. They even work with tubing.

Nice solid reusable taps !

I’ve tried several different taps and this one was the best. The plastic ones I tried didn’t work at all for me. I tried a bigger metal tap that easily bent when I tried to tap it into the tree. But this one went in easily when I tapped it with my hammer, it didn’t bend and it came out easily when I pulled it out with my hand. And it worked great. I just attended a plastic tube to it and put the tube in a bucket. Worked great.

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

Just what I wanted.
