works well
This tool is simple to use and makes a nice cut to remove the top. It is in the mid range cost range, but is better then some higher priced units.

So Far So good, will update review after I have used it more
My first time using this, it took about one minute or so to get a barrel lid cut off. It was basically easy to use, just a matter of technique, and I think soon I will be faster. It appears to be pretty heavy duty, and did not struggle to get the drum lids cut off. I would recommend this for most people, if you rip drums open all day, maybe get an automatic super expensive one, but this is a decent product.

Ouch! Leaves much sharper are ragged edge than curved blade version
We have this and several others that are essentially the same design but with a curved blade. While they both do the same job, this one is harder and more laborious to use, goes forward instead of back (which is more natural to all of us), and leaves a much more jagged and sharp edge. Enough so that we decided it was best to trash this one.

Not the cheepie one, works great.
We have a ton and a half of 55 gallon barrels at our place and lots of people are looking for clean burn barrels. It takes less than and minuet and a half to take the top of clean.

Works well once modified
The handle grip rubber is a bit thin. The leverage handle could be a bit longer for ease of use. I slipped a piece of pipe over it to help. Cuts well once you get some practice in
