Milwaukee Stick Transfer Pump has its limits... and I took it there! REVIEW & REAL-USE DEMO

[@eoghanfla6343]

Man that view of you in a trench that wasn’t shored a lot was scary. At my house a builder died in a trench half that height do to shoring incorrectly. Stay safe man. Good review and exactly what I was looking for, thanks

[@hammerandhome]

That would be very traumatic, sorry to hear that. Yeah it was a bit sketchy after we removed the shoring. But the ground was really nice clay. Thanks for sharing and watching Cheers

[@gurluphat4840]

@@hammerandhomethere’s visible cracks. Don’t bargain with your life.

[@Scentsational-Vdo]

That OSHA violation is real. Be safe out there. A disturbed clay breakaway is deadly.

[@NinjamarkO]

use mine all the time, connect a 3/4 or 1'' hose and you will get great output from it. clogging up is a real issue though. I might drill bigger holes in the suction

[@cliffordmontana4562]

Cool video, and I watched all your Milwaukee videos as I just upgraded to all new power tools from them. I like your delivery and you seem like a cool, chill guy. New subscriber from Michigan.

[@hammerandhome]

Thanks Clifford ! Happy you like the video. And thx for the sub We are going live tonight if you have any questions about anything Cheers

[@yaoellassar]

Sick, found a video for my OSHA class

[@hammerandhome]

@@yaoellassar lol,

[@2burning2turning]

Dude, bench cut that trench or shore it. Safety is your number 1 priority.

[@wfodave]

Yeah, I bought one today to pull water out a hole I had dug around a cluster of sprinkler valves that hadn’t been touched in 15 years. I dug a well of sorts to collect the water as I was rinsing dirt off the valves and this shut down quickly from the GA clay. I took the bottom off to clean it, but it still won’t prime. Yay.

[@hammerandhome]

@@wfodave I had to blast clean water in mine to get it working again. It definitely doesn’t like clay

[@MiloYellowknee]

M18 is now out!!!! Don’t settle guys.

[@hammerandhome]

The m18 unit looks pretty sweet

[@mcluvin28x]

That thing is massive

[@ex8280]

I want to attach maybe a 10' hose with a sprayer head. Is it safe for this pump to do that? I can't find any video's on it nor any info on it.

[@Merino-mv5be]

Was it flowing better with the bucket modification?

[@hammerandhome]

Yeah definitely, the trick is to keep the clay out.

[@danialgergis3103]

Use this stick pump into a bucket that has the sump pump inside it With the float lifted up

[@dobensplumbing644]

In all fairness your pumping dirt slurry too , you test in bucket with zero head pressure, then blame the 12ft of head pressure but not considering the fact it’s jammed into a mud hole ???

[@hipolitozamorano2214]

So its useless in texas for outside use thanks for the information

[@pj9902]

Basically. Wonder if a wet dry shop vac can help clear small jobs.

[@RichardGeresGerbil]

Of course it's going to slow down the higher you have to pump and clay would be a problem for many pumps

[@hammerandhome]

True and true. But I was curious, it’s still a great pump regardless

[@kristoffMR]

Woulda shored up that trench!

[@hammerandhome]

We had but this was after the fact.

[@bryanawesome3351]

This is the comment I was looking for. OSHA would be sending you fines that will ruin you. No shoring. Water in the trench. Spoil pile is scary close. I’m amazed you put this video up …..

[@TheMcs33]

If u can mske it long from short will be good

[@RansomeNo1]

Do you know what the diameter of the filter is? Cheers - great vid 😊

Milwaukee stick pump SPECS #milwaukee #tools

[@RansomeNo1]

Nice one thanks 😀

[@jtcindahaus]

What about leaves in a pond or grass?

[@hammerandhome]

Leaves and grass can clog it up, but it’s pretty easy to brush them off.

[@johnragan9959]

Yeah, I wouldn’t even have tried to pump a ditch out with that, use a diagram pump

[@hammerandhome]

Normally I wouldn’t, but it had to be tested 😬. I think it’s a handy tool to have, but right tool for the right job is key.

[@KINGSTONSPRIDE]

1:55 Yikes no shoring!

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍

[@UnKnown-jp1bv]

The head of that thing makes it a NO for me. I work in Water Utilities and the head on that thing is way too big.

[@hammerandhome]

How small do you need to be ?

[@UnKnown-jp1bv]

@@hammerandhome How big is that head in its circumference?

[@dobensplumbing644]

No transfer pump can handle that mud, get yourself a trash pump buddy

[@hammerandhome]

I have a couple Honda trash pumps, I ended up using a simple sump pump in a bucket, worked for the little bit of water down there. I new the m12 would have issues but I was hoping it would work and blow my mind. Worth a shot though Cheers

[@juanvargas2741]

dude. where is your shoring.

[@timsalopek4443]

12 feet down in saturated soupy ground. No problems here 😳.

[@benjaminperez8770]

Very scary
