Manual Drum Deheaders 

Convert your closed head steel drums into storage containers with our Drum Deheaders.

The DD-9 and DD-9-NS can be adjusted to open steel drums with different thicknesses. The blade is angled for maximum penetration and flattens the cut edge so there are no sharp or jagged edges. Replacement blades available. Model DD-9-NS features a bronze, spark resistant alloy. 

Model DD-10 features an ergonomic handle allowing smoother operation to cut drum.
