Customer Reviews for Safety Spin Tee Tap

Safety Spin Tee Tap

The Safety Spin Tee Tap is much safer and easier than traditional tee taps, but cleans stud holes just as well! Round rubber pad reduces danger if your horse steps down, while molded rubber provides a great grip.

I chose to get this when my horse managed to get her foot away from me while I was tapping with regular tee tap. It ended up snapping off in her foot and I couldn't get it out. With this I'm less worried about that happening and I know if my horse manages to get away from me it (hopefully) won't end up breaking off in her shoe. The large handle is easier to turn as well.

I bought this because my horse often feels the best time to step down and start misbehaving is when I have the T spun all the way in. I used this product maybe 3 times and while it was a bit difficult to get the tap lined up to the threads it was great since I felt it was alot safer than the regular T; that is until on the 4th use the thread spun away from the rubber pad and the thread was stuck in my horse's shoe with no way to get it out.

I bought my tee tap with high hopes. I have one horse who is spooky and can get upset quickly, so was thrilled with the idea of the added safety. I never use it though, the metal tap is set into the rubber disc crooked so is extremely hard to line up. I used my friend's straight one a few times, good product when not defective.

I was so excited when I saw this product and even more excited when I got to use recently. However, as good as the idea is, the product is terrible. It broke the first time I used it. The tap separated from the rubber pad and nearly got stuck in my horse's shoe. The tap part is not secured in the rubber properly. I am sending this back and will continue to use the traditional tee-tap until a better product comes out.

I tap 4 horses for a class and this tool makes it so easy compared to the traditional tool and if the horse steps down your safe! It's easy to line up and easy on us ladies hands to boot!

If you use shoe studs you NEED this!

August 11, 2008
ByBrigitte
fromLong Island, NY
I have recently started using shoe studs again. I was always very apprehensive about the use of the traditional T-tap. I always had that "what if he pulls his hoof away from me and I don't have the tap unscrewed?" thought. I knew the Safety Spin Tee Tap existed and as soon as I had to use the studs again I bought one. It is GREAT!! It works fast, is less clumsy to use than the original and it’s nice to not have to worry if my horse steps on it while still in his shoe. This product is worth every penny no matter what the price and SmartPak has one of the most competitive prices around!
