Performance Tool W1156 Grip Clip Transfer Pump Kit — Clear-View Hoses, Hand-Operated, Leak-Resistant

The Performance Tool W1156 Grip Clip Transfer Pump Kit is a hand-operated transfer pump with proprietary grip couplers and clear-view hoses designed for fast, low-mess moving of water and low-viscosity oils.

Whether you need to siphon a car reservoir, top up liquids, or inflate recreational items, this compact kit puts a secure, manual solution in your hands. Built with quick-change fittings and transparent tubing, the W1156 helps you see flow and lock hoses firmly in place so you spend less time wrestling with connections and more time finishing the job.

How does the W1156 prevent leaks and spills?

Unlike simple slip-on hose fittings, this pump uses reinforced grip clip couplers that clamp the hose to the pump more securely. That clamping action reduces accidental disconnections and minimizes drips during transfer and storage.

• Unique grip clip couplers resist pull-off and reduce spills.
• Snap-shut valve included for quick shutoff when switching tasks.
• Hand-operated pump avoids pressurized fittings that can fail suddenly.

What fluids and tasks is this pump suited for?

The kit is intended for low-viscosity fluids such as water, light engine oil, antifreeze mixes, and for simple inflation jobs. It is not rated for caustic, corrosive, or flammable liquids — follow safety labels and local regulations when choosing fluids.

• Transfers water, light oils, and similar low-viscosity liquids.
• Useful for siphoning small tanks and topping reservoirs.
• Includes an inflation needle and air hose for pool toys, balls, and inflatables.

How easy is setup and use for home or garage tasks?

Setup takes only seconds thanks to quick-change fittings and pre-measured hoses. The clear-view barrel and tubing let you confirm flow and spot air or contamination, while the hand pump requires no power or batteries.

• Two 48-inch clear hoses give reach for most common containers.
• 15-inch air pressure hose and needle included for inflation jobs.
• Simple hand operation—no electricity or tools required for basic use.

What comes in the complete kit and how should it be maintained?

The W1156 kit includes a manual transfer pump, two 48-inch clear-view hoses, a 15-inch air hose, a snap-shut valve, and an inflation needle. After each use, flush the pump and hoses with clean water (if compatible) and store dry to extend service life.

• Kit contents: hand pump, 2 × 48" clear hoses, 1 × 15" air hose, snap-shut valve, inflation needle.
• Flush and dry hoses before storage; avoid fluids the pump isn’t rated for.
• Inspect couplers and seals periodically for wear and replace if leaking.

Who is this for? The Performance Tool W1156 is for homeowners, DIY mechanics, boat owners, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a compact, low-cost solution for moving non-hazardous liquids and inflating gear. If you want an easy-to-use, manually operated transfer pump that offers visual flow confirmation and secure hose attachment—without relying on electricity—this kit is a practical choice. Avoid using it with corrosive or flammable substances, and it will serve routine transfer and inflation tasks reliably in the garage, workshop, or at the cabin.
