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

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.

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.

Have not used them yet but they seem to be very sturdy and should get a lot of years wear with them.

Found this package

Bought for my husband for maple sap. He thought they were great. Very sturdy and easy to use.

theyre a little expensive, but worked well. A week later i ordered more.

High quality metal taps delivered promptly. Well done.

Wasnt sure how well these would turn out but when they arrived they were much sturdier and more heavy-duty than I thought. I tapped 2 Maple trees with two Taps on each tree and got more than enough syrup for myself and even gave some away. All I needed was a drill to get into the tree. Came out with a hammer to pry with and will probably order more for next season.

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.

After raking leaves from my maple trees every fall, I finally decided to get something in return from them. I bought these a month ago and this past weekend I finally tapped my trees. I used a 1/4 drill bit and drilled into the trees just a little deeper than the tree-side of the taps. For each tap I ran a plastic tube into a cleaned-out 1-5 liter orange juice container. (Drill a hole into the lid to fit the tube.) I came home from work yesterday to about two quarts of sap. Ill continue collecting throughout the week and will boil down into syrup this weekend. Assuming a 40:1 ratio of sap to syrup, Ill get about 8 ounces....a small amount, but satisfying to know that I have created maple syrup on my own. Next year Ill tap at a more optimum time in the season to increase the yield.
