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

First time tapping my trees, I got one leaker, but the spile was fully set. The other spile only went in halfway and is the primary tap/ Nice product, would definitely recommend.

I really like the stainless steel and its sturdy. You can hammer it in and not break it. I did not like there is no place to attach the lid onto the spicket to keep debris out of the bucket.

The instructions were clear and I had no issues whatsoever getting these set up on our trees. I ended up using tubing on these, however, and it doesnt cause issues as long as the hose is heated beforehand. The hooks are very useful and were able to hold overflowing 5gal buckets with ease. Overall, I would recommend these to anyone looking to get into syrup making!

Very nice, can be hammered into a 5/16 hole in a tree without problem. 5/16 ID tubing fits over the end perfectly. After one season, they are still stainless.

Just what we wanted. Tapping maple trees

perfect! buy as many as you can afford. well made and smooth; thick so it wont bend wile tapping it in and all you have to do to remove it it just give it a 1/4 turn and pull it out. sealed up tight in the tree and to the tubes. this is the perfect tap for maple trees.

Used these to tap a few trees this spring. Fit great when using a 1/2 drill bit, was very sturdy and didnt let the buckets go.

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.

We love these taps! We have 10 of these, and 10 of the old cone-shaped aluminum kind. I like these better. Theyre easier to insert and remove, they seem to flow better, and are easier to clean. The only thing we dont like about them is that the hooks are separate...we wish they were somehow attached, because we live in great fear that they will get lost. This is especial worry when tapping the trees, when theres still a foot and a half of snow on the ground. You drop that sucker in the snow, youre not going to find it for 2 weeks. But I suppose it makes them even easier to clean? whatever. Dont not buy them just because of that.

We havent used them yet, but Im very happy with how sturdy, strong and well made they are. I will be ordering more in the future.
