They carry that at Harbor Freight. Usually goes on sale for @$4.00 once or twice a year. Used it twice and it does what it is supposed to do just fine.

the one i had broke almost instantly... to be fair it was an extra thick gear oil milkshake

I've used this one from HF a few times with good results. I would opt for it over the red plastic siphon pump. http://www.harborfreight.com/oil-suction-gun-95468.html

Just remove the cap, fill it up, then pump it into the trans or diff. Repeat as many times as needed. It holds approximately half a quart.

For only a little more you can get a real tool that will actually **** as well as push so why not?

Now I've heard that since I bought mine that Lincoln has moved some production to India; I hope that the current products are as good as mine.

I purchased that Lincoln you have linked about a year ago. It is made in India. It is just as cheap and crummy as the Performance Tool branded ones for $10 or whatever. Pure junk.

I now use the Motive Power Fill. Much easier, faster, and cleaner. It holds enough fluid that you don't usually have to refill during the process, which is also quite nice.

I have heard many brag on the Mityvac 7201 unit. They may be fine, but they are more $$ and made in Taiwan or China.

That is really, really sad as I love both my Lincoln suction gun and pistol grip grease gun.

I hope you're kidding as PT suction guns **** because they just don't ****. At all. I have a feeling you're not though.

If my Lincolns ever die, who makes acceptable replacements?
