Thumb Buckets
These thumb buckets are perhaps the most effective thumbs available in the market today. These highly durable, heavy duty thumbs are directly attached to the stick and therefore are most useful for machine operators who have a need for a dedicated thumb bucket. The bucket can nevertheless be de-coupled from the excavator, though the plumbing and the hydraulic cylinder used to operate the bucket remain attached to the stick. The advantage of having the cylinder on the stick is that one gets better leverage and break out force due to the exceptional geometry of such a system.
