Plastic tube won't fit my Honda engine's oil port

Received this specifically for draining used engine oil from a Honda 4-stroke engine on a pressure washer. The plastic tube is too large (in circumference) to fit into the oil hole where the dipstick is located. I could have looked for fittings to shrink the hose down to a smaller size, but I did what I had to do by turning the whole damn pressure washer upside down to drain it.

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

LOVE this pool cleaner suction gun.

In the past I have used a turkey washcloth to clean our 12 foot Intex pool. We did a good jacuzzi in the water and waited 10 minutes for everything to calm down. During the whirlpool, all the "stuff" is collected in a nice pile in the middle. I got in with a turkey cracker and a bucket and spent a few minutes sucking all the shit out. Time is greatly reduced with this suction gun because it can absorb so much more. It works great even when fully submerged in water. It is durable, large in size…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • some bugs

Reliable, consistent and strong suction power does the trick

This is a suction pump that doesn't have much to say other than that it's strong and powerful. in the best case. This worked pretty well for pulling the power steering fluid out of my van when I needed to change the reservoir. It worked well enough for this purpose. It's easy to take apart and clean if needed, and I recommend leaving some grease or oil around the rubber plunger as it's a tight fit. This is my first video review and it's time to share something with the community. If you have…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Also works with semi-liquid lube

After inspection I was satisfied with the quality of this device. I had trouble breaking it as the back was so tight I almost broke my wrist when it finally came loose. I don't know if there should be a rubber gland on the back, but this doesn't seem to affect function. However, the front has a rubber O-ring. For a number of years I have been trying to figure out the best way to apply a semi-liquid lubricant (pudding-like consistency) to the hubs of my trailers and it has worked great. Yes, you

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Little things

Revised Tool and Equipment Review

Used several times (3) and leaking everywhere! Also rusts and squeaks very loudly when trying to use.! After posting this review, I was immediately contacted within 24 hours by a customer service representative, Tracey from this company. Tracey wanted to know what was the problem I was having with the device and I basically explained to her that the apps wanted to know what the problem was that I was having with the device and I basically explained to her that I this product for and use what I…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
