Performance Tool W54171 Manual Vacuum Extraction Pump for Oil, Transmission fluid, gear oil, coolant and power steering fluid

Pump was broken on arrival. Pump handle was broken. Could be fixed with tape but was flimsy and cheap. The narrow hose wouldn't fit in the valve bit on top. The larger fit, but wasn't an airtight fit, so it was basically useless. Also, there was no way to connect the two different sized tubes to be useful. Had to modify the tube with electrical tape to get it to actually seal. The pump itself wasn't airtight so it wouldn't maintain a vacuum for longer than a couple seconds. I could hear the vacuum leak and it sounded like it was coming from the pump itself. The valve mine had on it was different than the box/listing (see picture) It could be a different revision but compatibility with tubing is obviously an issue. Instructions were inadequate to make sure the thing was put together properly, to make sure it wasn't user error. I tightened every fastener I could find to get it right and it didn't help. Was able to rig it together with tubing I already had and constantly pump in order for it to somewhat work. Spend the extra money and get a nicer one than this garbage.

stated the problem, above.

Doesn't work.

Piece of garbage. I regret not returning it immediately. I didn't get around to using it for 6 months after receiving it. Like a buffoon I'm in the garage pumping like a madman and get zero suction of fluid, I would have been better off literally sucking the tube with my own mouth and bringing the fluid out to the tank.

Works great

Arrived in good condition and had the instructions in the box. I tried to suck transmission fluid and it did not work. I attempted to prime the pump then went back to the transmission and it still did not work. Tried sucking motor oil from a jug and that did not work. I sent it back and got a refund.

An investment that rates down there with a junior college art degree. I would give it one star, or even zero stars, but I really like the catch tank. Keep in mind that this thing works by pulling an air vacuum to draw fluid out of (in my situation) a crankcase. This is an inherently bad concept. Why pump low density air when pumping high density fluid is far easier? It is like trying to drink a soda pop sitting on the floor by sucking on a straw from the top bunk of a bunkbed. You can do it, but there are better ways. Combining a dubious concept with a modestly executed product is a prescription for failure. The pump works well enough but the system of hoses and connectors has more leaks than a congressional oversight committee. After about 40 minutes with this product during which I pumped more sweat than oil I junked the vacuum pump and substituted a positive displacement fluid pump, and used the main container as a holding tank. This method moved more oil in the first four pump strokes than the original system moved in the previous 40 minutes.

Doesn't work at all. It doesn't suck anything. Litterlybwont create a suck . Horrible product

Équipement efficace

Writing this while my motorcycle engine oil is dripping in a pan, with the traditional method. This is a piece of crap, not enough suction to pull the oil in…the pump base plastic screw always becoming loose, no matter how quick and hard you pump, oil would stop mid way. Maybe a defective unit but I’m extremely disappointed.

Très lent à vidé dans le contenant je ne le recommende pas

👎👎👎

worst product ever could not even extract 2 ltes out of 7ltes of fluid needed constant vacuum pumping after it totally stopped working. Do not recommend.
