Vestil D-HEAD-1 Quick Open Drum Deheader

Product Description

The VESTIL D-HEAD-1 is a quick-open drum deheader designed to remove the top head of steel drums quickly and safely. Built from steel, it is used to convert closed-head drums into open-head containers for easier access, cleaning, or repurposing. The tool measures 14 inches in height, 5.5 inches in width, and 3 inches in overall length, making it compact and straightforward to handle on the shop floor or in the field. At 11 pounds, it is solid enough for repeated use across industrial and maintenance environments. Drum technicians, waste handlers, and industrial maintenance crews are the primary users of this tool.

The D-HEAD-1 is compatible with 30-gallon drums, 55-gallon drums, and 5-gallon pails. It is well suited for facilities that regularly open, clean, or repurpose steel drums in chemical, food processing, waste management, and general industrial settings. The quick-open design reduces the time and effort required compared to conventional cutting methods, making it a practical addition to any drum handling operation.
