Tougher than a clams adductor muscle. Seriously, Google that one.

Favorite type of this reference I've heard was referring to a leathery old cowboy, "That gap toothed old poke is so tough he uses live rattlers for dental floss and porcupines for toilet paper!"
I heard the steel one too but a bit different, "That feller is so tough he chews up railroad ties and spits out ten penny nails !"
Here in Texas we also hear:
"Tougher than a nickel steak" , "Tougher than ten miles of bad road" and "Tougher than an armadillo boot"
PS: Went out to the Longhorm Cafe for lunch and had me one of them "tough steaks". It tasted real good to me but it took me some chewing. I think the cook gets offended and hates me cause I always tell him to make sure there ain't no pink in my steak, so he cooks it to a hockey puck consistency. He likes my wife. She's one of them "Polish it's horns, wipe it's ass, and put it on the plate" type gals. She likes her steak rare! *L*
