Amulet PowerBrute Hydraulic Thumb
All-Purpose Hydraulic Thumb for Maximum Control
The Amulet PowerBrute is a rugged, cost-effective hydraulic thumb designed with a universal fit for both new and old backhoes and excavators. Its independent central pin and two-tine universal design allow seamless compatibility with most buckets and quick couplers, giving operators the flexibility to swap attachments without removing the thumb. Built narrow for a proper universal fit, the PowerBrute is ideal for rental machines and general-purpose applications, such as demolition, land clearing, rock placement, and debris handling. Constructed from high-strength alloy steel, it delivers a powerful grip while minimizing extra weight on the dipper stick. With heavy-duty pins, bushings, and a complete hydraulic storage system against the stick when not in use, the PowerBrute sets the standard for reliability and performance.
