What uses would a person have for a bilge pump? A person who
does not own a boat.

It's the kind of tool you get, and then find a dozen uses for. Stuff you
used to do the Egyptian way ..... lots of labor and lots of time. I'd take
one right now for those times when I needed to drain something. Like my
grandkids play pool. It's a PITA to drain with a hose and takes forever,
doesn't get all the water, and you end up having to lift the last heavy part
by hand. For that price, I'd jump on it.
