Default Gear Oil Pump

Does anyone know of a decent pump for adding trans and diff fluid? I've used a few of the cheapy's from the local chain stores but most I've used collapse, leak, don't work worth a crap. Typically, I might use it once/twice per year if that so a "Tim" version probably isn't needed. Can anyone recommend a decent one?

I ordered mine from amsoil, it was about $10 and looks like a hand pump off a thing of lava soap. Worked well enough for me to do my tranny/rear end in the span of a half an hour

Thanks. I guess sometimes simple is better but hoping someone knew of one that is a bit more substantial. Anyone?

I use a Jabsco hand pump that is for removing oil from marine engines. It can be purchased at most marine stores for around $35.00. I bought a couple of fittings and some hose to increase the diameter of the suction hose and use the originial 1/4" suction hose for the discharge line.

I have a Miti-vac and bought their fluid transfer kit. Use it for everything. The lids fit the large Mason jars real well so the number of fluid jars you can have is endless. This way I don't cross contaminate fluid.
