3/4" Drill Pumps

[Farmall450]

Has anyone tried one out? I see this unit is at Farm & Fleet for like $6.50, and it seems like a novel idea.

Probably a good little transfer pump (and a good use for a garden hose with a bad spot).

They work okay, nothing great. Good for occaisonal water transfers

Tried one once. Leaked like a sieve.

I heard as couple guys pumped brine for tractor tires with them, over 50 gallons, less than an hour.

I tried a drill powered pump from Northern Tool. It had a far bigger body, but it lasted all of five minutes before it failed.

IIRC, the original was made by Flo-Tec. I've had a couple of their pumps and they worked great.

Ha just remembered some one gave me one of those a couple of season ago threw it a tool bag and forgot all about.

Just dug it out and chucked it up seems to spin ok


Now I will have to try it!


I thought it was kind of funny at the time since I was pumping water with a gasoline powered unit which I now use the new Milwaukee transfer pump.

Seems like it be handy with cordless drill for some quick water transfers maybe fill a spray tank or drain a barrel or something. The only issue I would see is most cordless don't seem to have a lock on button like their corded brethren do so your gonna have to stand there and hold the trigger if you go that route.

I wonder of could pump diesel with it

Lol, my first thought was how it would do with fuel.

Good point on the trigger lock.

They would be about perfect for that. Might need a few extra batteries tho lol

I use them to transfer motor oil from a drain pan to bucket while servicing generators. If a large enough pan is under the motor it cant be removed without making a mess. I attach a battery drill to the pump and send the drained oil into buckets. The first one lasted over 3 years and I misplaced it. Good little pump for under 10 bucks.
