Move more fluid with less mess. Tuff Jug Fluid Transfer Jugs give automotive shops, service departments, fleets, and maintenance operations a faster, more controlled way to handle larger volumes of shop fluids.
Built from rugged multi-layer HDPE, Tuff Jugs are made for repeated use in demanding shop environments. Ergonomic handles provide better control, a clear viewing strip makes fluid levels easy to check, and internal venting eliminates the need for external vents that can break or leak.
Tuff Jugs are designed for transferring commonly handled shop fluids, including fuel, water, oils, coolants, cleaning solutions, and other compatible fluids. They provide a convenient, bulk fluid alternative to packaged fluids and open-top containers when more capacity and control are needed.
- Multiple Capacities: Choose 1.25, 2.5, or 5 gallons for small to larger-volume fluid handling.
- Fast Fluid Transfer: Industry-leading flow rate helps get fluids where they need to go faster.
- Rugged Construction: Multi-layer HDPE provides strength and chemical resistance for demanding environments.
- Better Control: Ergonomic handle makes pouring and positioning easier.
- Easy Level Check: Integrated viewing strip lets you monitor fluid levels at a glance.
- Internal Venting: Built-in venting eliminates external vents that can break or leak.
- 1″ NPT Spout Thread: Provides a secure connection for the selected dispensing configuration.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in Idaho with a manufacturer lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.
