The 6 Best syrup taps (2023 reviews)

The tap my trees syrup tap is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your regular usage like a dream. Pine sap may be thicker than that of maple and at least for most southern pines, hardens fairly quickly after it leaves the tree so the tube may clog before you collect much. It works very well for maple sap which flows about the rate of a relaxed heart beat beat. This is a tapered tube, kind of like a skinny funnel. It is used to hold a bucket to collect sap. They are made well and will last for a long while. It is great for on the go treat while in the woods.
