Product Description
Removing crimped aluminum seals by hand is slow and can be hazardous, but a simple plier tool makes it quick and controlled. This decapper is an inexpensive way to open serum vials for sampling, disposal or reuse of the container.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 224373: Plier Decapper, Removes 20 mm Seals. The pliers are made of steel with gray plastic-coated handles for a comfortable grip.
