The Little Pump That Can I wanted an inexpensive way to drain my 60 gallon fish pond and move the “dirty” water 40′ up an approximately 35 degree slope hill to irrigate it. I hooked up an electric drill and the pump worked. I initially used a 19.2v battery operated drill but found the battery drained too quickly. The pump is self priming and starts working almost immediately. Instead of taking like an hour to siphon the pond out; it took about 10 to 15 minutes to drain the pond. There were cheaper similar products, but the company that makes this drill operated pump appeared to have a better reputation than competing manufacturers. I’m pleased with its operation and capabilities.
Not for warm oil I purchased this pump kits to drain the oil out of my boat engine. The directions said to run the engine to warm the oil, which is pretty normal, then insert the 1/4″ line down the dipstick hole and begin pumping the oil. Sounded easy enough. What they do not say is that both of the supplied hoses cannot handle warm oil. The 1/4″ hose finally just collapsed and the larger hose just went limp. I had to go to Home Depot and purchase nylon hoses to replace the supplied hoses, in order for this thing to work properly. Once the hoses were replaced, it worked quite a bit better. Not great, just better.
