    Default Drop replacement

    Is there a tool for removing drops easily?

    I usually cut off the tee and replace it all. A simple pair of scissors or pruners will work well

    I made my own that looks more like this one. Just cut some heavy pipe into a C with sharp edges and welded that and some flat stock into an old channel-lock piiers. Works great! Just removed drops from my 5/16 tubing this weekend; only took a few minutes to get all 45 drop lines off.

    2017 - Shurflo 4008 hooked to 42 stingy silver maples and a few Norways. A couple buckets on sugars and Norways. 10 box elders.
    2018 - ...a few more taps.
    2019 - ...more taps on 3/16 gravity. This spiral is heading downward in a hurry.
