Can't get anything simpler and more reliable than a split bolt

Kup-L Tap


Simpler, yes. If wire sizes are near, I'll also agree on reliability
being ok; when it's a smaller tap off a larger feeder as this case, then
it's not as easy to capture the smaller and keep it secure as with the H
tap sized for the purpose...of course, one does need to have the crimper...

If you know what you are doing a split bolt will tap a #14 onto a #2
with no problem at all - and all you need is a pair of wrenches and a
jack-knife. ANd the Kup-LTap we were discussing doesn't need a crimper
either
