K Tool International Lever-Action Bucket Pump for 5-Gallon Pails — 2.14 oz/Stroke, 4' Hose, 12" Drum Cover

The K Tool International 73993 is a lever-action bucket pump built to fit 5-gallon pails and deliver 2.14 oz (60 ml) per stroke for fast, controlled transfer of transmission and heavy oils.

This compact pump kit brings together a 12-inch drum cover, a 4-foot PVC hose with a steel spout, and a lever-operated piston designed to transfer viscous fluids reliably in garages, repair shops, and home workshops. Lightweight yet sturdy, the assembly mounts to standard 5-gallon buckets so you can move large volumes of oil without lifting drums or creating messes. The design emphasizes repeatable strokes, a long hose for reach, and materials chosen to tolerate heavier automotive fluids.

How does this pump make oil transfer easier in a busy shop?

The lever-action piston produces a predictable quantity of liquid each stroke, reducing guesswork and spills during refill or drain operations. Mounting to a common 5-gallon pail keeps supply containers stable and accessible while the 4-foot hose reaches work areas without moving the bucket. The included steel spout helps aim viscous fluids into tight fill ports.

• Delivers 2.14 oz (60 ml) per stroke for consistent dosing
• 12-inch drum cover secures pump to standard 5-gallon pails
• 4-foot PVC hose with steel spout for reach and precision
• Lever action reduces fatigue compared with hand-squeezed pumps

Is this pump suitable for heavy oils like transmission fluid and differentials?

Yes — the pump is engineered to move thicker automotive fluids efficiently. Its piston and hose materials are selected to tolerate heavier viscosities encountered in gear oils and transmission fluids, while the stroke volume minimizes repeated cycles when transferring larger quantities.

• Designed specifically for transmission and differential oils
• 60 ml per stroke helps move viscous liquids faster
• Durable components resist wear from heavier fluids

How do I install and maintain the 73993 lever-action bucket pump?

Installation is straightforward: secure the 12" drum cover onto a 5-gallon pail, insert the pump assembly, and route the 4' PVC hose to your work area. Routine maintenance is minimal — rinse the hose and spout after use and inspect seals and connections for wear. Replace worn seals or hose sections to preserve pumping efficiency and avoid contamination between fluid types.

• Mounts to standard 5-gallon pails using the included drum cover
• Flush hose and spout after each use to prevent buildup
• Check lever linkage and seals periodically for leaks

What are the physical specs and durability features I should know?

The pump weighs about 6.08 lbs, making it easy to handle while staying stable during operation. The lever-action mechanism and steel spout give a balance of lightness and ruggedness suitable for professional environments. Its build is focused on repetitive use with heavier fluids rather than delicate lab liquids.

• Net weight approximately 6.08 lbs for portability and stability
• Stroke volume: 2.14 oz (60 ml) per lever cycle
• Includes 12" drum cover and 4' PVC hose with steel spout

Who this is for: The K Tool International 73993 is aimed at mechanics, fleet technicians, and DIYers who regularly handle transmission or heavy gear oils and need a reliable, mess-reducing method to transfer fluids from 5-gallon containers. If you refill multiple vehicles, work in a shop environment, or prefer a repeatable per-stroke volume to manual pouring, this pump supplies the reach, consistency, and durability required for routine heavy-oil handling.
