My wife's latest birthday gift too me and one of the best ones so far.
I have only used it once, well on three engines in the same day, and it worked flawlessly.
The tank is huge but easy to move around. It did not leak and got the oil out of each warm engine quickly.
I like that it has a hose holder but dislike that the hose doesn't come with a flip on/off cap so residual oil doesn't leak out of it. One other con is that it doesn't come with its own battery or at least a holding / mounting spot for one (e.g. A pocket and strap to hold a 12v pwc battery). Still so far, I love it.
 
What if you got a jump pack with a cigarette lighter type power port and made a power adapter...you could even put disconnects on it so you could switch back to the alligator clips if you wanted. And you gain a jump pack.
 
Good idea @Big Shasta , my boat's batteries have been repositioned deeper in the compartment so they hard to get to. Using a 12v adapter would be easier than getting to the batteries where the boat is conerned and should be easy enough to switch back to the alligator clips when I need to use the pump on the jet skis.
