These deheaders are used for removing tight lid covers / seals of steel drums of any gauge and size in food, chemical, pharmaceutical and packaging industries. Featuring a replaceable sharp-edged blade and a sturdy yet comfortable plastic hand grip, drum deheader tools are preferred over blowtorches while dealing with drums containing flammable / delicate objects as they reduce the risk of starting a fire and permit drum recycling.
