Performance ToolW54268 Blue General Purpose Lever Action Barrel Drum Pump - Fits 5 to 55 Gallon Drums

If you're gonna pump gear oil from a 5 gallon bucket, how else you gonna do it? Buy this one, it's made from metal and will last for years, not plastic junk that will break after the first use. Good pump.

I bought this to pump 90W gear oil from a 5-gallon bucket to smaller containers for recycling. The hose ends are just pressed on so I went ahead and put 1/4" hose clamps on both ends before I used it based on the mess others reported. I'd say they were correct because although it seems like low pressure when you are pumping heavy oil it creates a lot of pressure in the hose.**NOTE: The free HF 5 G buckets are NOT standard size and this will NOT fit the top. The HF is larger in diameter. TSC buckets and WM buckets are the standard diameters that will accept lids and this pump.PROS:1) I pumped heavily sludged oil with this from an old Farmall H with zero pump/hose leaks. You do need to pump more slowly the more heavy the oils is otherwise something may give. The bottom line is it will work.2) The pump slides up or down in the lid in case you don't want to be right on the bottom.3) The pump has stand-off feet to maintain an air gap if it is on a flat bottom.4) It saves your back and prevents a major mess trying to dump 5 G of oil into a funnel on a smaller container . . . I know.5) Zero leaks6) PriceCONS:1) you need to supply 1/4" hose fittings to reinforce the hose connections.2) The hose is cheap PVC, but it worked for me. I'm not sure how long it will last and trends to fold where it comes out the top of the pump, however, the pressure expands it open.

Great barrel pump, would be nice if the spout had an extension tho.

Against all odds and all the folks saying that it took too long to pump, we were willing to wait the time as long as it worked however, when we received our box, it was torn open. We are missing you clamps in a number of other parts. I’m not sure I can even cobble it together with the hardware I have at my house. My suggestion would be don’t spend your money.

Read the previous reviews before I bought the pump and knew what I was buying. I followed other's advice and put hose clamps on both ends of the hose before pumping and NO LEAKS! It pumps a little slow but it sure beats holding a 5 gal bucket over a funnel into a 1 gal jug.

This pump is threaded for 55gal steel drums, not 55gal plastic barrels, the threading is too small to fit in the 2” bung on a 55gal plastic barrel. I bought this based on the product images showing the pump threaded on a 55gal plastic barrel and was disappointed to find out the threading is too small. The packaging my pump arrived in was also poorly packaged with the hardware to attack the primer handle floating around loosely in the box (nuts, washers, machine screws). I also had a pack again sticker clearly labeled to apply to the package for marketing randomly thrown inside the packaging. Overall disappointed with this product.Regarding build quality, the plastic quality feels good and the pump has good suction and lift but I have concerns about the longevity of the telescoping pipe that goes down into the drum, the seal on the telescoping portion does not feel like it would last more than a few seasons of use (it is a rubber bushing to form a seal on the telescoping pipe section).Overall I am going to keep the pump as I do have a few 55gal steel drums I can use it with, but I am deeply disappointed that the product photos show use with a 55gal plastic drum but the actual product does not fit or come with an adapter to thread into a 2” bung.

Do the job to fill a transmission

Found pump was well made and worked well. If ever I need another pump this would be my choice
