## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it Non-Sparking?**
A: Yes, it is non spark. I've topped over 400 drums with it and it still works like a champion

**Q: How many barrels will the cutting blade do before replacing?**
A: I went threw 56 drums and still on the original blade without sharpening.

**Q: How does this cut... i need a drum deheader that will remove the head but retain the folded rim for strength. make storage drums**
A: It cuts the top inside if the rolled rim leaving the rolled rim intact. It can leave sharp edges on inside of the folded rim. The deheader is like a giant can opener. Part if it looks on the outside of the rim and you push the handle down and a blade cuts a small section on the inner side of the rim. Scoot the tool forward and repeat. I have only used it on 2 standard 
steel 55 gallon drums.

**Q: Trying to cut a 3.5 steel pail with this tool. Is it possible?**
A: 3.5? Must have bevel similar to 55 gallon drum. I'll try on a 30 gallon steel drum if that's what you mean?

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product
*by D***S on June 15, 2025*

Well built. Easy to use. Opens barrel lids easy,safe and in no time at all. Highly recommended. Very pleased with the purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tool for the job  ever.
*by J***I on July 5, 2025*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This thing works
*by T***S on September 22, 2024*

I purchased this to de-Head two 55 gallon drums to burn stumps. This device made quick work of removing the bottom while maintaining the integrity of the bottom ring on the barrel. Price point was great and performance even better. Remember the knob on the side adjusts the angle of the cutter, start loose then look at the angle in relation to the bottom. Adjust it so the tool slides and the cutter has a very slight angle facing inward to the barrels center. Push down pull up and slide forward. For the price point you can’t beat it. Does what it says and of course has fast shipping. Highly recommend you get one, even if you just use it a few times. Worth its weight in gold.
