Wesco 272018 Deheader with Plastic Hand Grip, For Steel Drums

Works great, fairly effortless. Only takes a couple of minutes or less to cut the head out of a closed top drum, leaving the rough edges folded down into the drum nicely

I can remove the top of a 55 gallon steel drum faster than my neighbor can with his special electric drum saw. This is really a valuable thing to have around. Have had it for a while now and can honestly say that it is wonderful, sturdy as all heck and easy to operate. Once you get the hang of it, you can open dozens of drums in a very short time. My only lament is that they don't include or give you the option to purchase more cutting heads, like in a three or five pack. My cutter head got a little dull after over 100 drums. It was super easy to sharpen though, but I'm lazy. When I have my mind on cutting I don't want to stop and sharpen.

Great product. I have used this for over 100 barrels and still works perfectly.

Has held up great and stayed sharp. Blades are easy to order as well. There is one bolt that wiggles loose bit I cut about 10 barrels before I had to retighten it and it was very easy.

Works like a charm. Once you get in the grove, cutting the drum goes by fast and smooth.

This tool is amazing. I had a bit of trouble on the first drum. The unit needs to be snug against the drum, not tight. You have to be able to slide it along the drum rim after each cut. On the second drum I was able to cut the top out in 2 1/2 minutes. Well made, heavy duty, fast shipping, fair price. I recommend.

Works great but have to get use to it.

Quick easy done. Took me a few seconds to get it to mount properly and then it was just working the tool. Made the job much easier then trying to cut it any other way and you keep the strength of the barrel. Did show up looking pretty beat up paint missing and rough. I didn't care as it's not got to be pretty but for the price, I didn't expect that.
