Frequently asked questions
-
What drum sizes does it open?
CompatibilityThe Plastic Drum Opener is sized for standard 10L, 15L, and 20L plastic paint and chemical drums - the standard Australian trade pail sizes. Not designed for steel drums.
-
Why a dedicated drum opener?
PerformanceStandard paint can openers can't reach the wider plastic drum lids and tend to slip on the smooth plastic. The dedicated drum opener has the right geometry for fast, safe removal.
-
How is it used?
InstallationHook the opener under the lid ring, apply firm downward pressure on the handle, and rotate around the drum to release the seal completely. Lift the lid clear once the seal breaks.
-
Which paint brands does it work with?
CompatibilityDesigned for the standard Australian paint brand drums - Dulux, Wattyl, Haymes, British Paints, Berger, and most others using the standard plastic drum format.
-
Does it damage the drum?
PerformanceUsed correctly, no - the lid pries off cleanly leaving the drum reusable. Aggressive use can crack the drum rim, so apply firm steady pressure rather than sudden force.
Why trade professionals choose Uni-Pro
Uni-Pro supplies application tools and site consumables to the Australian trade: roller covers and frames, adjustable yoke frames, trays and tray liners, filling blades, paint can and drum openers, wire brush and scraper sets, trade rags, sugar soap and marine anti-fouling kits. On a waterproofing job the applicator matters as much as the coating, because the nap and the frame decide how evenly a membrane lays down and how well it works into corners, junctions and penetrations. We stock the Uni-Pro range so applicators and consumables can be ordered on the same job as the membranes, primers, sealants and adhesives they are used with.
