Water can become a problem on almost any jobsite. Whether you're working in plumbing, construction, HVAC, utilities, or maintenance, there are times when water ends up exactly where you don't want it.

Removing that water can be especially frustrating when it's sitting in a trench, meter box, sump pit, or another hard-to-reach area.

The Milwaukee M12™ Stick Transfer Pump (2579-20) is designed to make those situations easier by giving professionals a cordless way to transfer water without relying on manual pumping.

Reach Water in Hard-to-Access Areas

One of the most useful features of the M12™ Stick Transfer Pump is its 36-inch submersible aluminum barrel.

The extended design allows you to reach down into areas where positioning a conventional pump may be difficult. This can be especially useful when dealing with water in trenches, catch basins, water meter boxes, sump pump pits, and similar locations.

Instead of reaching into the water or repeatedly operating a manual pump, you can position the stick pump where it's needed and let the tool do the work.

Up to 9 GPM of Water Transfer

The M12™ Stick Transfer Pump is capable of moving up to 9 gallons of water per minute.

It also has a 15-foot maximum head height, giving you the ability to move water away from the area you're working in and toward a suitable discharge location.

For professionals who regularly encounter standing water, having a compact pump available can help reduce the amount of time spent dealing with water before getting back to the actual job.

HydroPass™ 360° Filtration

Jobsite water isn't always clean.

Mud, dirt, leaves, and other debris can make pumping water more difficult and can clog traditional pump inlets.

The 2579-20 features Milwaukee's HydroPass™ 360° filter, which is designed to maintain water flow in debris-heavy conditions. The filter is also removable for easier cleaning when necessary.

This makes the pump particularly useful for outdoor applications where water may contain dirt and other debris.

Cordless M12™ Operation

The Stick Transfer Pump runs on Milwaukee's M12™ battery platform, giving professionals a cordless option for water transfer.

There is no extension cord to find or manual pump handle to repeatedly operate. The pump can be operated with one hand, allowing you to use your other hand to help position the discharge hose or manage the work area.

For professionals who already carry M12™ tools and batteries, the cordless design also means the pump can easily become another specialized tool in the truck.

Standard ¾" Hose Connection

The pump features a ¾-inch outlet that connects to a standard garden hose.

This makes it simple to direct water away from the area you're working in without needing a specialized connection.

The combination of the extended barrel and standard hose connection makes the 2579-20 a versatile option for moving water from pits, trenches, basins, and other locations.

Applications for the M12™ Stick Transfer Pump

The 2579-20 can be useful in a variety of professional applications, including:

• Water meter boxes
• Trenches
• Catch basins
• Sump pump pits
• Storm drains
• Jobsite water removal
• General water transfer
• Maintenance and service work

It's the type of tool that may not be needed on every job, but when you encounter standing water in a difficult location, having a compact cordless pump available can save considerable time and effort.
