Best tool since the lever and fulcrum! Yes, it's heavy for small folks under 6' 250 lbs. Get over it. Brilliant engineering with the articulating arms - even the pivot point was we'll thought-out! Lots of ways to bust pallets - but if you're trying to reclaim every inch on the lumber used, THIS is one too you HAVE to have!

More wood for projects!!! I have yet to break a board. I've used this for disassembling about 50 pallets so far.

I can't wait for the Amazon.com movie to come out: "Pallet Busters". What a wild ride that will be. This is an incredible tool for bustin' up pallets without out damaging a single hair on their heads. I'll never pay for old barn wood again. After a light sanding, rub on your stain of choice, let it sit for 30 secs. then wipe ip off with an old tee-shirt your tired of wearing. Let it dry outside and then brush on some clear Polyurethane clear finish. What you have left is ready to be installed as molding,covering plaster beams, used for making furniture, cabinets, you name it, what ever the wife wants. And get this, the shipping is FREE. Yes, Free. I don't know how Amazon.com can afford to ship this behemoth of a tool for free, but He does. Look for ads in the paper, Craig's list for FREE pallets. Don't pay 3 or 5 bucks for them when you can get them for FREE. Try feed stores, (Lemo's) lumber yards, construction sites, anywhere you see stacked up pallets just sittin' ion the sun, waitin' to die.The older the better. Absolutely don't buy that little bag of stuff at ACE hdwe. they sell for $17.00 that they claim will make new wood look old. It don't work and you still have to wait weeks to see that it don't work. Wan't free 2" x 4" for your DIY projects, rip up a few pallets and you will end up with more than you can use. Just watch those rusty nails, don't step on them with your bare feet, no tellin' where they been. Watch where you park the truck when your bustin' apart them pallets. I used to bust them apart by hand -- tough job, lots of the best boards break, splinter, split but now, there's not a wasted piece. Only problem is . . . I have saved so much time . . the wife is dreamin' up pallet projects faster than I can make them. Oh, and if your'e older than dirt, like me, you'll save your back from going out with this tool. Another warning, don't loan this to your neighbors or friends, because you'll never see it again.Don't buy the gadget they sell with no handle, not worth the effort tryin' to find a solid handle that fits properly and then you still have to paint it to match. I sell the darn stuff now cuz' I got so much stacked up against the barn. Those city slickers that are no good at DIY projects pay me for my busted up pallets. I charge $1.50 for a complete pallet disassembled with perfection or they can buy the wood, all stained, clear coated and ready to use for $5.00 a board. Can't seem to keep the stuff in stock. Now, that's all free cash to use as I see free to, just don't tell the wife I got this little business goin' on the side or she'll want a cut of the action. Bye now, happy pallet bustin".

How did I ever live without this? I used to take pallet's apart with a hammer and crow bar. Usually took over an hour (sometimes two) to get them apart. With this tool I can take them apart in just minutes. It's well built and looks and feels like it will last for years. This is a quality tool folks.

Boars still split at times.
