This is about what I paid last month when accommodating for the free battery Home Depot included with it.

It's not a bad tool. I use this for draining stubborn, slow draining water heaters. If you use it for this purpose, you will need to purchase a double Female ended garden hose to attach to water heater and the pump. I bought a 5 foot version from Flexzilla on Amazon for about $15. If the water heater drain is clogged up with hard calcium or scale, this pump will not be able to force the water heater to drain through that opening. In those situations, I have resorted to removing the water inlet/outlet pipe or the pressure relief valve, and using a piece of 1/2" Uponor Pex pipe with a 3/4" reducer fitting to connect the pump to and drain it down that way.

I can usually drain a heater down in less than 10 minutes done this way or if the water heater drain is not obstructed. I don't use this every time, but it's a major time saver on electric water heaters for sure.

1/2 inch drillbit works wonders

I've known people to use this successfully pumping clean oils & hydraulic fluid as well. Rinse well afterwards and know that the mfg does not mention this application, so warranty, etc... As usual, any low flash point liquid should not be used.
