A fluid transfer device is implemented which has an inlet for receiving a fluid from a subject container or reservoir and an easily controllable outlet to direct the received fluid to a desired location, such as a target container or reservoir. The inlet and outlet may both include conical spouts to which various sized hoses can removably attach to enable directional and maneuverable control for a user. The fluid transfer device includes a base which rests on a surface and provides support for the components above it, including a handle and an operational arm that handles the fluid transfer operations. The fluid transfer device is configured with versatility for adaptability to multiple use cases. For example, the fluid transfer device has a height-adjustable handle to accommodate differently sized containers, a hinged operational arm, and a horizontally-adjustable container rest.
