Additional Product Description



The Wiz-Kid ® Manual Ratchet Deheader is a must-have tool for anyone who needs to open steel drums safely and easily. It’s designed for people who open between 1 and 15 drums per week, making it perfect for farms, workshops, or job sites with low to moderate drum use. Because it doesn’t use electricity, you can take it anywhere—even remote areas with no power.

This tool stands out because of how safe it is. After cutting the drum, the edge is smooth and doesn’t have sharp burrs like other tools might leave behind. This means you won’t cut your hands while handling the drum afterward. It’s also easy on your body. The 18-inch ratchet handle gives you more power with less effort, helping prevent back and arm strain.

The deheader is made with high-strength aluminum and tough steel, so it’s strong but not too heavy. It only weighs 20 pounds, making it easy to carry from place to place. The handle works for both left-handed and right-handed users, so anyone can use it comfortably.

It works best on 30 or 55-gallon closed-head steel drums with a diameter of 11 ¾ inches or more. It usually cuts through a drum in less than two minutes. The cutting wheel is made of hardened steel and can be replaced when it wears out, which saves you money in the long run.

Whether you're working on-site, off the grid, or just need a safe, simple way to open steel drums, the Wiz-Kid® Manual Deheader is the smart, dependable choice.
