I am going to start a set of posts about tools we want to see in the future that do not exist yet. I am still in amazement of my cheap Chinese made Sierra Tools Battery-Operated Liquid Transfer Pump Model# JB5684. I have used this pump a lot more than I thought I would now consider it a necessity. Mine is still going strong and for $13 has paid for itself. However 2 D batteries are not cheap and the quality is a bit lacking. The main purpose I use the pump for is transferring fuel. The pumps long shaft design allows it to get to the bottom of a tank or can with ease.
There is a huge market for a quality pro tool like this. We need a 12V or 18V pump that works and looks relatively like the Sierra one. With the ability to hook it to a garden hose and the ability for it to transfer flammable liquids like fuel at at least 6 quarts per minute. Like the Sierra have a long shaft design with an LED light at the bottom so you can see into the tank.
Hopefully this is a wake up call to all the manufactures out there. This tool is needed and I can’t believe someone like Milwaukee has not come out with one yet. Hopefully in 2014 we will see a product like this emerge .
Come on Milwaukee! Make a 12v version and ill buy it! Make it brushless for future-proofing?
Tools we want to see (also for Milwaukee since I’m invested in their system):
– Corded 12/18v adapter so you can run your cordless Milwaukee tools plugged into wall power when needed or for longer jobs.
– Cordless 18V Mini inflator/compressor. Ryobi and others have one.
– Cordless Dust buster. I have the huge 18V Milwaukee vac, but would love a compact handheld 12v vacuum. If they want to get fancy, make it with a belt clip and a removeable short flex hose so you can use it to collect the dust as you’re drilling a hole, cutting an opening, etc.
You might just have to start building prototypes Dan! You already got your drawings down, now it’s time to build your own tool line! I know i would if i knew how…
I contacted milwaukee about it. I will let you know what they say.
I just recieved mine today from amazon after seeing ur guys video, I haven’t tried it out yet but I will this weekend and let u guys know thnx guys for leading me to another cool tool!!
Milwaukee said it was a great idea and they would forward it to development.
lol I wish
I would buy an M12 pump. And I like SawdustTXs’ idea about the M12 corded adapter!
