Stick Transfer Pump for Milwaukee M12 Submersible - Fast 9 gpm

In this review the Stick Transfer Pump for the Milwaukee M12 platform is evaluated as a focused solution for quick water transfer in tight or deep locations. The reviewer found it best for contractors, landscapers, and homeowners who need a lightweight, one-handed submersible pump for jobs like emptying meter boxes, trenches, or small pits. Its single biggest advantage is efficient flow and reach: the pump delivers up to 9 gallons per minute through a 36 in submersible barrel while the M12 power format lets the operator run it with one hand and control outflow with the other.

Key Features

• Efficient Pumping: Delivers up to 9 gallons per minute, making short work of shallow dewatering and quick transfer tasks.
• Extended Reach: The 36 in submersible aluminum barrel allows access to water at the bottom of trenches and deep pits without stooping or using extension hoses.
• Minimal Clogging: 360 HYDRO PASS filter design helps maintain flow in heavy debris, reducing interruptions and the need to clear blockages.
• Easy Control: Powered by the M12 battery platform and designed for one-handed operation so the other hand can manage the outflow hose or site safety.
• Versatile Outlet: Compatible with a standard 3/4 in garden hose, enabling common disposal options and straightforward hose connections on site.

Who It's For

This pump suits tradespeople and property owners who encounter small to medium dewatering tasks: plumbers checking meter boxes, landscapers emptying trenches, or boat owners removing rainwater from a dinghy. The portability and one-handed control make it handy for fast jobs where bringing a larger pump would be excessive.

It is less appropriate for large-scale or continuous industrial pumping where higher flow or longer run times are required, or for users who do not already own the M12 battery platform, since the unit is sold as tool only and relies on M12 batteries.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High flow performance up to 9 gpm for fast water transfer on short jobs.
• Long 36 in aluminum barrel reaches deep water without extra fittings.
• HYDRO PASS 360 filter reduces clogging and keeps water moving in debris-prone locations.
• One-handed, battery-powered operation improves control and convenience on site.

Cons

• Battery life is mixed in user reports, so continuous long runs may require spare M12 batteries.
• Sold as tool only, buyers must already have or purchase the M12 battery separately.
