A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module. The transfer pump further includes a spout extending mounted to an outlet connector of the fluid module by an inlet end of the spout interfacing with an outlet end of the outlet connector. The spout is repositionable relative to the outlet connector while mounted to the outlet connector.

A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module. A control module is configured to monitor operation of the transfer pump and control pumping by the transfer pump. The control module is configured to receive dosing commands from a user interface, recall a dosing parameter based on the dosing command, and cause the drive module to operate the fluid module based on the dosing parameter to cause the transfer pump to output a set volume of material.

A scraping tool having a thick, durable scraping blade attached to a weighted main body is particularly useful in scraping encrusted marine growth from seawalls, dock and pier pilings, and bridge structures is disclosed. A scraping blade formed of 316 Stainless Steel having a thickness of approximately 3/16″, with a front end that is preferably angled approximately 15-degrees from the longitudinal axis of the tool arranges the blade for maximum effectiveness. The blade has teeth with each tooth defining a beveled upper tip surface to aid in piercing encrusted barnacle growth.

A method of texturing a wall or ceiling with non-acoustical joint compound by providing a collapsible bag having an opening at its top and is adapted to contain non-acoustical joint compound for forming a textured coating on the wall or ceiling and providing a spray nozzle having a low pressure input port, a joint compound suction port attached to the opening at the top of the collapsible bag, and an output port for spraying the non-acoustical joint compound. A low pressure stream of air from an air gun attached to the low pressure input port urges a small quantity of the non-acoustical joint compound to be sprayed out of the spray nozzle when the bottom of the collapsible disposable bag is raised above its top to either allow or force the joint compound to flow into the suction port and into the interior of the spray nozzle.
