3.5 - 4.0 oz. Leather

The Tuff Bucket CL line is manufactured using 3.5 – 4.0 oz. leather. A bucket with leather as an exterior bottom material can be used in temperatures as low as -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C). Many Tuff Bucket customers prefer the CL line of buckets as it is historically customary of utility buckets.

40 oz. Vinyl Coated Polyester (VCP)

Tuff Bucket has recently integrated 40 oz. VCP fabric into bucket production. The polyester core of this material provides a significant increase in tear strength and puncture resistance when compared to 30 oz. canvas. VCP is rated for use in temperatures as low as -30 degrees F (-34 degrees C). The vinyl coating provides exceptional resistance to abrasion and is very easy to clean.
