Drum Deheaders + Bung Nut Wrenches

Drum Deheaders + Bung Nut Wrenches

Drum deheaders are specialized tools for removing the tops from steel drums quickly and safely. There’s usually an opportunity to repurpose the drum after disposing of drum contents and cleaning it. Drum deheaders are commonly used in industrial settings, recycling operations, and maintenance shops where 55-gallon drums are frequently opened or modified. Get a clean, burr-free cut around the edges of the drum and without generating sparks, which is crucial for handling drums that may have contained flammable materials. Manual and pneumatic models are available, with lever-action versions offering portability and control, while powered types can run all day, every day.

Bung nut wrenches, on the other hand, are designed for opening and tightening the threaded plugs aka bungs, found on sealed drums. These wrenches come in various materials, such as steel, aluminum, and spark-resistant bronze, to suit different environments and safety requirements. The shape of the wrench fits both 2-inch and ¾-inch bung sizes commonly used on drums, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks or contamination. Bung nut wrenches are needed for liquid storage or transport in drums without damaging the bung or drum threads.
