The Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump is one of those tools you buy thinking, “Do I really need this?”

The Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump is one of those tools you buy thinking, “Do I really need this?” Then you use it once to pump out a water heater and suddenly you’re wondering why you spent the last 30 years doing things the hard way.


Hook up a couple hoses, slap in an M18 battery, pull the trigger, and let Milwaukee do the suffering. Meanwhile, you can stand there looking important instead of babysitting a garden hose while 50 gallons of water takes its sweet time deciding whether it wants to leave.


And if that water heater is sitting somewhere gravity isn’t exactly cooperating? Even better. This little pump doesn’t care about your bad plumbing layout, your tight mechanical room, or the fact that somebody installed the heater in a location apparently chosen by a blindfolded architect.


Fast, portable, cordless, and a whole lot easier than turning a simple water-heater drain into a two-hour plumbing adventure.


Sometimes buying another tool really IS the answer. 😂🔧
