Portable Electric Drill Pump for Water and Liquid Transfer - Self-Priming Hand Pump | Durable, Compact and Lightweight Design, Easy to Install and Use | Versatile for Home and Outdoor Applications

I read the reviews and thought - "How bad could it be?" I am just going to use it once. It did not work, at all. Information: - the hose/tube that fits on this is 3/4" - There is an arrow on the pump that shows water direction; But - nothing that shows which way the pump should turn (using drill) - I tried different speeds and direction; ... it does not even suck anything into the hose (clear, see through) I will open it up one day, see if I can "fix" it. At this price it is like a Temu item - just through it away will be less hassle, effort and cost.

So we are traveling around in a RV and decided to try our hand at off grid, solar living. So.. no water access. We bought a couple water bladders to fill and the watering hole, and didn't want to spend a lot on a water pump to feed the water in the the RV holding tank. I came across this, thought it was really cool you can use a drill to pump the water. My husband was doubtful, but we hooked it up and it pulls that water in like a champ. It's small, the hose ends slide right on nice a snug... a massive live saver and honestly for the price everyone who camps, hunts, off grids or even if you want to water your grass with a barrel this is MAGIC...!!!

Worked for about 60 seconds and blew the inside gasket. Now what leaks and spins out where the drill attaches. I thought maybe some of these reviews were not accurate and it was not as bad as we thought so we went ahead and bought it but literally did not last 60 seconds. Don’t waste your time on this like I did.

I am extremely satisfied with this product! The quality exceeded my expectations, and it has proven to be both durable and reliable. The design is sleek and modern, and it performs exactly as advertised. I especially appreciate the attention to detail in the packaging, which ensured everything arrived in perfect condition. . Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a top-tier option at a competitive price!

I am 70 years old. It has become very difficult for me to lift a 5-gallon can of diesel fuel high enough to refuel my compact tractor. I thought this would make it much easier to just pump the fuel from the can on the ground into the fuel tank of the tractor. This required the pump to lift the fuel less than 3 feet. When I attached the drill and started the pump, it wouldn't even lift the fuel above the neck of the fuel can. I was sure to have the pump turning in the right direction, varied the speed of the drill, and even tried to prime the pump. Nothing worked. It shouldn't really surprise me that a $5 pump wouldn't work, but you would think that it would at least lift the fuel out of the can. It's not even worth the hassle of wrapping it up and sending it back. Don't waste your time and money on this. Just go to Harbor Freight and buy one of their pumps that operates on one D-cell battery. I wish I could give this a minus rating.

After researching the dos and don’ts of drill pumps, I bought this… the cheapest available. It worked flawlessly half a dozen times over a few weeks, ~20 gallons per use, and then ceased to pump (it still turned over, but stopped pumping water). I wasn’t sure why. Did I drop it? Did I pass a foreign object through? Did I accidentally run the drill the wrong way? Declared it useless and took the whole thing apart. Every component looked in working order and the whole thing was clean as a whistle. I couldn’t find even minor signs of wear anywhere except at the countersunk holes for the main four screws on the “top piece”. Each one seemed to be set at a different height. Added a little vegetable oil, reassembled it, and it worked… for a little bit. Then it started spewing out all sides. I think I overtightened it. A few hours of fiddling and getting it to work intermittently was enough to give up. It’s made of an industrial plastic that seems to give out after a short while. No one should have to fiddle that much to get a little more run time.

The pump works great.

Being experienced at many of these pumps, I connected hoses, observed the correct direction of rotation, and connected the drill. Started the drill in the correct direction and bubbles were rising in the oil to be extracted. I reversed drill rotation multiple times, still nothing. I opened the pump cover to observe the impeller. The rubber vanes were intact. I added oil to self prime the unit and reassembled. Still the same result, no suction, regardless of directional spin. No instruction come with unit and it should work right out the box. I added it to the recycle pile and reordered a next level device.
