Trying out Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- We plan to use the Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump for shower pan tests, pumping water off the footers after a rain, and for times when there's no water at the house- as was the case in this video. Check out all the features of this tool! @hausplans

I have never wanted a cordless pump that I don't need more than I do now.
😂😂
I'm over here inventing new chores to justify buying one 🤣
It's worth the money.i pump gear oil like water with it
I never wanted to drink more animal piss and waste from a local stream
I'm gonna use this to fill my pool in the spring. I will use my neibours pool. Lmao
Milwaukee has a grossly immense catalogue of tools that few people with ever need, and i really like that about them.
Most is just a motor a plastic case and a battery. Once you got those 3, you can make pretty much every tool.
Both battery and brushless motor technology have come a long way.
Definitely
Never seen a motor with a brush. Since the 90’s it’s been brushless. Why even mention it?
@@johnnyringo2690they still sell brushed tools, they're just cheap
@@johnnyringo2690 open ur eyes bro, every cheaper tool or utility uses brushed motors, dc and ac
@@johnnyringo2690because brushed tools still exist and are still sold?
Industry is going the same way for us in automotive too. 20 years ago every tech would laugh if someone bought a new electric tool. Now, it’s about all we use.
yeah because lead batteries are old as balls. The guy that invented lithium ended up leaving his shit cooking too long and created what we know now as li-ion batteries. Samsung/panasonic are the #1 makers including being used in Bosch, Tesla, BMW, Ford, Volkswagen/Audi, & Volvo.
Soon gas engines will give way to battery power..
@@u2ooberboober
That one is gonna hurt tho 😢
Wonder if they'll find a way to make a powerful compact battery (non)air hammer.
@@elliotkane4443 they do……..
Upgrade your suction hose size to something that is rated for vacuum (steel core hose or something along the lines) your batteries will last much longer and you will have a higher output from the pump. We use them pretty regularly for transferring hydraulic oil, you can move about 55 gal in 5min with the hose upgrades. McMaster carr Carries the hose and fittings
You just blew his ad out of the water lmfao
Ad?
@@nepicness these guys get payed for advertising these dang things. have you ever noticed that all the tools look brand new never been used?
You ever go from oil to water? Can ya clean em out or?
@@johndowe7003 It's funny that I loved that south park season about figuring out what was an ad and what was real content. Not that I'd ever get one, I don't have any use, but I guess I fell for this one.
I just ordered Milwaukee 18V air pump then clicked on clips and your video popped up. Earlier this month I got a hammer drill, and the pex A expansion tool & pipe cutter. Love all 3.
However, the Milwaukee “hatchet”, the 6” chainsaw, is the best tool invented since the ratchet and socket set.
I bleed red.
👍
I do hvac. Use for pumping out auxiliary drain in an attic. 100% worth every penny and is one of my favorite tools
Definitely a game changer
Milwaukee transfer pump is actually great. I pump the collected rainwater from remote sites to my property regularly instead of carrying buckets. The head lift is big enough so I can use it to sprinkle or mist my garden. The impeller needs a regular care though. Cleaning and greasing.
Got no electric power on the property except the solar, so the battery powered tools are godsend.
Very cool!
I’m a plumber and this is a must have on the job if there’s water you gotta clear out.
💯
I'd like to have one but I imagine my old 5000 GPH submersible pump is more effective
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 you don't buy this pump for the performance. It's the convenience of being able to use batteries that you probably already have, and don't need to worry about extension cords
Think this could pump out gas from a car?
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 seriously its not a replacement for a sump.
Dam that's hella cool, for anyone who has lived off grid and had to pump water this is an amazing tool.
Definitely
It's amazing being a young guy in the trades I get to surprise the old guys almost daily with what battery tools can do now. My boss keeps buying when I prove it to him
Cool
Based
I am a well driller/ well pump installer/ service tech at Phillips & Son Well Drilling in Knoxville, MD and Ginn's Water Pump & Drilling in Hagerstown, MD, and at both companies we use these pumps to drain out the water systems of the houses/ barns/ businesses before we work on the systems. They are a great tool to have and use.
Awesome!👍
Milwaukee's cordless tools are pretty impressive
💯👍🏻
I liked our hilti cordless tools at work more but its good quality so i cant complain
@@hausplans can you make your next video sound less like you have a reading problem
@@FunnyFreak_ If I could afford it, every power tool I owned would say Hilti. I had all the Dewalt XRP stuff a while back & wasn't that thrilled with it, so I re-upped when the new Milwaukee line came out. Then shortly after, Dewalt revamped their stuff & I think they may have a slight edge, but not enough for me to spend the money to switch again! 😅 So i guess I better get off RUclips & order my new Milwaukee pump!
My boss is switching to dewalt because his m18 drill chuck sucks
We use that exact pump to drain fire hydrants after flushing that won’t drain on there own, works great!
Good to know
Thank you for showing this. I’m the Maintenance Supervisor for my Town and I’ve needed something like this for a while.
Glad it was helpful!
You can pump gas with it too. Just run a little water through it after so it doesn't eat the plastic interior. I'm not saying it's intrinsically safe either, and im not a professional. Just been doing it the past 2 years lol
Thank you for that bit, I need someting portable to pump diesel :)
I was going to say… “hmmmmmm… mkay… mkay… yeah, sounds alright… but um… yeah” before you got into the disclaimer part of it 😂
@@poloska9471 and I'm a certified and active firefighter lmao 🤣 gotta do what ya gotta do on the farm! And if you dont rinse it with water, it'll eat the plastic inside the pump, learned it the hard way, thank God for 90 day return policies 🤣 just make sure it doesn't smell like fuel
@@kamilaugustyniak6329 diesel is a bit different since it combusts under pressure, not a spark. But let me know if it works, and be careful and use it outdoors preferably not on dry ground lol
@@kamilaugustyniak6329 my customers pump broke after you used it to do that so make sure to wash it out good if you do.
Those pumps really do rock, and they can handle dirty sludge water from a flooded basement just fine, I used them to water burial plots in a large cemetery. Definitely recommend.
Li-On and Brushless tools are the game changer now.
That's my next investments. Few brushless drills, floodlights, don't know about saws though
@@law35penn alas, DeWalt doesn't make any brushless floodlights right now.
Jokes aside, I really do like the 5000 lumen flood light I have, it makes lighting a non issue, all with the same battery system I normally use.
Li-on is old tech now. When these new solid state batteries finally get to marked it will be a real game changer.
Yeah li on mining not so much
Milwaukee rocks i love the m18 tools .. got a few and keep getting more
💯
I have two of these at work and they work great. Highly vouch.
Nice
I had no idea that was even a thing that would be great in a camping or survival situation as long as you have access to power (solar maybe)
Definitely
Im a plumber and use this when i drain boilers, a must have. Use it as a de icer tool for frozen water lines too
Very cool!👍
I’m so glad I saw this video. Over the last few years I’ve been thinking how battery tool technology has progressed in an exponential way. For a very long time it was just drills, now we even have battery powered ride on lawn mowers, which is just quite incredible. We are at the point now where the range of battery powered equipment is not only superior in performance, but includes items that can only exist because of battery technology. True innovation. There will always be a place for gas or diesel power, and I don’t think people should get caught up in the “only one can be the winner” argument. We should just choose the product that suits our situation and need, and enjoy the choices we have available.
Very well said👍
Just my opinion We wont be able to get off gas unless a major breakthrough in battery comes to fruition. It would almost have to be the equivalent of nuclear energy to wean us off gasoline. If they could figure out how to refill that battery as fast as we fill up our gas tank. I cant see it as a possibility right now. But my mind is alot smaller than these people that got us here. Where are we gonna get all the elements to supply the demand for electric automobiles? Like i said its a opinion from a pawn thats pff the board
@@dreece2000 I actually agree with you. We are nowhere near the point of being able to shutdown fossil fuel refineries. Not even close. That day is a long way off. In some ways, the 20years from 2020 to 2040 will be the ultimate of the best of both worlds. Peak ICE technology and an incredible range of other technologies. Sometimes it’s too easy to get caught in a competitive mindset that “we must choose a team”, but I don’t see it that way at all.
Used that tool everyday well made and super useful
I just use transfer pumps that fit on the end of a drill with a rubber band if I need to use it and walk away...
I saw one of those online that looks pretty cool. Definitely a cheaper option
Those are garbage. They'll eat themselves after a short time
I've tried a couple of them, but they haven't last very long.
@@richardcurtis2688 gotta add leather flappers they hold up well. I prefer the diesel transfer pumps they work nice, never tried em on water though
I have a bunch of m18 tools. Love em
👍
M18 16" Chainsaw, just got it. Wife wanted a cordless vac for the house, she got the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Compact Vac, bigger than a Dyson but more attachments. She loves it but you need a 6ah battery to do 2000 sq ft of hardwood floors and 3 dogs
Chainsaw…. They keep getting better and better
They've pretty much made gas push mowers obsolete at this point (except for runtime and cost).
Maybe battery tools can outmuscle chainsaws, blowers & such in the next 5yrs. I'd buy em if they do.
'Cept they've got to come up with a better warranty/maintenance for these big $400-1000 batteries, that's a big investment to just have stop working.
I use Husqvarna battery tools. They are brilliant, however they use a lot of power, especially blowers. The biggest cost is enough batteries to last a day if there is no electricity available on site
Cool new things are electric pro presses for copper, pipe benders, threaders.
Ive used my rotary/mini jackhammer to dig so much its my favorite time saver tool.
Harbor freight just came out with a bauer milwalkee copy of this. 60 bucks i think.
I use Milwaukee Fuel 18volt tools for ironwork and the truth is, there is simply nothing out there that compares. They are the best cordless tools you will find on this planet. 👍
Thanks for sharing👍
After I sheared the head off my big breaker bar jumping up and down on it trying to loosen the crank bolt on my car's engine, I broke down and got the big Milwaukee battery impact driver. That thing was a revelation. Saved me SO Much effort and bad language extracting the transmission from my Accord!
Nice 👍
I love mine its a great investment!
I have one for work transfering oil and glycol. This is the most amazing pump I’ve ever used. I’m buying one for the house just because. No priming and works 100% off the time.
Yeah the no priming was the part that impressed me the most! I have a small electric pump and it can be really finicky to prime
i say it all the time, 10 years ago guys would laugh when you pulled out a battery tool (rightfully so they sucked) now i can’t do my job without them (construction)
Yup
How long did it take to fill that tank, and how many battery swaps?
It would take about 30 mins maybe one battery if you have a constant water supply
It's a 1000 liter tank 260gallons
It took about 1 hour to fill this 250 gallon tank. The tank was about 10 feet higher than the water source. Milwaukee says it will pump 240 gallons with a 5amp hour battery fully charged
@@hausplans totally agree. I have one to transfer rain water and it’s great. I’ve moved thousands of gallons with it and it’s been a saver
Milwaukee says that. But what is the truth
milwaukee always has new tools i just can’t keep up
They come out with a lot of stuff
They come out with a lot of stuff
I'm right there with you. was raised on "batteries are heavy and expensive, only use corded tools". Now I'm wireless ryobi almost entirely. can build a house on an island quietly.
👍🏻👍🏻
For me, i liked the cordless power washer gun. My first was the Ryobi 320 PSI model. Saved me on 2nd floor tile installation. They had an upper deck patio with a drain. So we put tile machine on 2nd floor. Had plenty of buckets. All tools were clean and didn’t struggle at the end. Compare to leaving the tools with dirt and carefully getting them down without making a mess.
👍
Milwaukee makes good stuff. That pump is cool, didn't know they had those.
I was impressed with it
Yeahh man best buy yet has been my heated sweater, I cheated out on the m12 battery's tho and got knock offs works fine tho
@@thecalham I have the Milwaukee M12 heated jacket. I absolutely love it. It's warm as hell.
It's junk don't waste your money
Battery powered body
I’ll take one to😂
exoskeleton
Im ordering mine from china
@@JohnSmith-xu7ev lol the batteries are gonna blow up
the 18 volt milwaukee hakzall and 4.5” grinder have been my favorite and most used tools in recent years , as a commercial plumbing contractor….
I bought the Hakzall a few months back, love it!
I started in HVAC 4 years ago. I have nearly everything battery powered and an M18 inverter for when I need a plug, but there isn't one available. I see a lot of installers using Dewalt, but Milwaukee has such a variety that most service techs have the red and black because we have more variety in our work than installers.
Milwaukee makes a small inverter called a Top Off that you can use to charge small things like cell phones. Also they just released a big M18 inverter several months ago
@@hausplans Yes, I have the M18 USB charger, the M18 Inverter that has USB-B, USB-C and 120vac outlets, and the M12 USB charger. I have found them all useful at different times.
👍
I can’t even think of a tool I need 😂 I have damn near everything already. I’ve spent so much money on tools I’ve gone through 3 relationships for spending all my extra money on tools but they are now making me more money than I ever have in my life so it’s an investment not a dumb purchase
👍
If it doesn't pay for itself it isn't worth having
Just waiting on the Milwaukee track saw and my cabinet installation packout is 100% complete
👍 I’m waiting for Milwaukee to make a rebar tie gun
I remember the day's when a cordless circ saw or Sawzall were pretty much used for an emergency cut or two. Now it's common to see guys runnin anything from compound miter saws to masonry cut saws & more
I remember those days as well
I love my cordless caulk gun, it feeds a perfect stream. the cordless grease gun is the best. And I love my cordless inflator great for trailer tires you cant reach with a plug in model.
I want to get one of those cordless caulk guns
@@hausplans I learned about it from someone that does auto glass, he said it takes about 5 mins off from each job
I've been around construction for about 25 years. It's amazing now. Using a propress for plumbing feels weird. We used the 4' M12 cordless pump to clear a meter pit last week.
Yeah my plumbers love pro press
Wow I need one of these! I’ve been using the m18 platform for years. I’ve never seen this tool. I could definitely use one of these come spring time.
Their a game changer
@@hausplans thanks for the heads up
I’m a dewalt guy but one of the best batteries ever made was the Makita 7.2v cordless drill back in the 80s. The battery life of that thing was phenomenal. And ever since, batteries have gone down hill. Run times shorter. Replacement life, shorter. I have my own DeWalt, work supplies Milwaukee. I like mine better but they both have issues.
Those old-school Makita’s were good tools
I do prosthetic sockets and I need to get the M18 straight bit grinder for doing inside of leg sockets out of my truck instead of only in the lab! I already use the hacksaw, drills w/bits and the pack out roller system!
👍
had my doubts about a battery chainsaw , but i got one and am very satisfied. Lots less hassle too.
Good to know 👍
Milwaukee 1/2" impact is the bomb. Everyone should own one.
It’s on my list
I have a whole slew of M12 and M18 power tools from Big Red, Milwaukee! Recently started looking into the M12 Oscillating Multi-tool. I love my Fein Tool for roughing houses but really sick of the cord! LOL. Also, really need a portable band saw! LOL
Right on
That’s super cool and a huge time and money saver for small/medium pumping use 250 gallons is a lot of water.
I was impressed
I love my Ryobi Bucket fan/mister. It came with a tiny battery, but will work with any of theirs. I get about 1 1/4 of the 5 gallon buckets out of the big battery. That’s fan and misters both on high.
You are a man after my own heart. I myself take advantage of any excuse to buy a new tool.😎👍
😂👍
This makes me think it would he a good idea to have a large water container in the attic. That way when you get your power cut, you can use the generator or solar during the day to fill the tank. Once filled, gravity should assist with the water pressure, plus it should stay pretty warm up there if you heat the house at all.
I don’t think your attic could support the weight unless it’s had some sort of special engineering. Water is heavy! That tank in the video is over 4000 pounds
Man I love watching your shorts
Thanks
My next battery powered tool will likely be a Festool oscillating tool. Has so many enhanced and useful features. Festool 4.0 amp hr battery is the go-to battery for this tool as it’s BlueTooth feature automatically starts and starts dust extractors, but it can use any 18 or 15 volt Festool battery!
Festool is super nice, I think they invented the oscillating tool. But they are expensive as well
That tool is the next tool on my list
👍
Oh.... that's really nice. I wasn't expecting it to work so well. 💯
Just recently bought one of Matco 1/2 electric impact gun. Really want one of the Milwaukee air compressors. Might be the next cop with the colder weather
👍
Dammit i need somelike this. I use a lot of rain water for my garden and need a good pump like this to transfer the water between containers.
This will definitely do the job
Agreed. Grinders are horrible for battery use🪫. I completed a deck that took a week to complete and my drill battery 🔋 lasted all day and only charged at night. I was surprised. It reminds me of cell phone reception. Somewhere it goes back to wires to complete the work like charging. Also big jobs like sending lots of information in a bad reception area is basically impossible. Not sure if that was articulated correctly.
Very true
Been using the Milwaukee grease gun on my skidsteers - saves me probably 45 min a day when servicing the fleet.
I love the Milwaukee grease gun, you should check out the video review we did on one
So jealous. I mean, I only use my grease gun three, four, times a year. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy a better one. 😅
👍
Yoooo that’s So Freaken Cool Of Adapt a Water Pump to Work on a Battery Drill
I have an assortment of battery operated tools but my most favorite is a pair of handheld pruning shears...
I would love to see a modified version so that it would cut hardwood an inch or two in diameter.
That would be so powerful shears
My next electric tool is one of those m12 dye-grinders super usefull to clean hubs or repair tires at the shop they dont require a hose so no hassle
Those are nice
I'm not a fan of doing with batteries what you can do with air. But I own one of those pumps and it's one of my favorite tools.
Cool
There pumps save my life working on boilers when there is a leak in the copper water lines. Instead of waiting for the water to bring itself out over 24-48 hrs. This pump gets it done in 1hr or less.
Awesome, I just talked to Plumber the other day that says he loves it for draining water heaters
An impact driver,drill,chain saw & sawsall 👍🏼👍🏼😎
I have all those, minus the chainsaw
We use these pumps with in heavy diesel to pump ludicrous amounts of hydraulic oil, to speak of their strength, we get 1500L out of one 6ah battery.
However ours don’t have the auto shutoff
Been using my Milwaukee transfer pump for hydraulic fluid works good.
I’ve had one of these for years… when the pool overfills due to rain it’s much easier for my mom to just keep swapping batteries throughout the day. I’ve got a ton of 8.0 batteries and they go for about an hour
Nice
As a diesel mechanic these are game changes for doing services, they pump oil so good
👍
I did not know this existed, I now see lots of uses for one. Thanks.
Your welcome
As a plumber I use mine to pump out bad water heaters. Insanely good pump.
I talked to another plumber he said he uses it for the same thing
Milwaukee has go so far above and beyond everyone else with all their M18 tools
I agree
One of my best recent purchases has been a LED work light from Ryobi 1 Plus system. It's comparable to the halogen work light but can and will take a fall without breaking and it doesn't get that hot.
Very nice 👍 Yeah if the old lights with bulbs got dropped they would always break
I really should buy into the milwaukee power tools
I'm a DeWalt man but I love seeing all tools in action the next tool I'm getting is most definitely battery powered planer because I saw a great idea to put rods through it but I also need a new jigsaw because I broke mine 😢 and it's more important so idk decisions decisions
Great to use when draining water heaters and you need to pump the water outside
Absolutely
Solar panels with a small wind turbines to charge your batteries. There's some posted along a new walkway behind a condo near the Thames River.
You can pump sand with those suckers. I've pumped out a carbon filter through a dome hole in the tank. Used water to backwash the filter while I was pumping to keep the carbon suspended in water. Worked pretty well used a knock off 5amp hour battery took about 10 mins.
I saw a video a guy had a Milwaukee battery powered reciptrcal instead of pulling a drop cord I haven't been able to find one but when I do I'll buy it I think it will be a great tool to get
I love this little pump, the 12ah battery kicks it into overdrive!
These tools are 100% about having the money to back them with good batteries. Having multiple +4amp hour batteries is becoming a must...
Impact driver is next on my list
They are the best
I like battery operating tools especially where I live in. Apt bldg and on 3rd floor
👍🏻
And all my cordless tools&vacuum take the same battery &I own 3 battery all same size
My brother used to use this for plumbing. Great for emptying a water heater when your in a spot you can’t just dump out the water to move it
Good to know
The Milwaukee fuel hacksaw is my favorite
👍
Bought this for camping last year! Works great for keeping cool too 😎
👍 Yeah this will be great for camping
My last battery purchase was a ryobi caulk gun. I absolutely love it.
Yeah, I’d like to get one of the battery powered caulk guns
@@hausplans I thought it was silly forever, but after redoing all the caulk on my 5th wheel camper in 2 days, I will never go back to squeezing. The 4 gal backpack sprayer is also an incredible thing.
Framed a while with the DeWalt battery framing nailer. Worked great!
👍
same pump design has been used on boats for ages . very similar to the impeller pump on a boat . only real difference is one is driven on a belt or shaft on the boat motor and this one is powered by an electric motor and battery.
Cool
I would love a small handheld sawzall. I have a full size one, but it's an older 18v DeWalt and needs an adapter to use my 20v batts, which is all I have right now.
A jigsaw would be nice, but I'm retired and can just use a corded one in my shop.
Have you seen the Milwaukee Hacksaw? It’s basically a small Sawzall you can hold in one hand. We did a review of one you should check it out.
Same brother, when I started I hated battery powered tools...they got table saws now!!
👍
Time for a Ram Pump system to get that water to the house!
For me, I have recently ordered the m18 fish tape, I can't wait to use it.
Let us know how you like it👍
Getting it done. I love it
😀👍
