United Tool and Fastener will be carrying the newest REED product: the versatile and durable REED Pump Stick™.

The REED Pump Stick™ (with cordless power) provides a portable, jobsite friendly way to remove water- just in time for Hurricane season. The battery-operated liquid transfer pump is great for numerous applications because of its versatile construction.

The REED Pump Stick™ can be used with an operator's own 18-20V battery by replacing the battery adapter plate with one designed for common, slide-style battery models. It comprises a hard-shell, aluminum main body shaft, and for safety, the on/off switch is sealed and water-resistant.

To keep the impeller operative, there are multiple screens, strainers and filters from which to choose to find the right type for the job. The REED Pump Stick™ ships with a 2-ft hose, but extra length can be added with the 4- and 7-ft hose extensions (in addition to the hose coupling). A long, slim design enables an operator to place the cordless water transfer pump deep into small cavities because the pump is 38 inches from the bottom tip to the hose outlet.

Furthermore, the REED Pump Stick™ is capable of lifting water up to 12 feet above the bottom of the pump. For operational ease, the pump comprises a comfort-grip handle at the top, which brings the pump to 4 feet. For extra-deep reach, the optional 24-in comfort-grip handle can be added to bring the total pump length to 66.5 inches (from tip to tip). Extra hoses and hose couplings are available to complete the set-up for ultra-deep work.
