Solid and strong its not going to break or bend unless you are the Hulk
Nice bit of kit I used yesterday. strong sturdy. Although, if they pallet is Harwood with massive nails and lots of nails. You are going to struggle to unhinge them. Nothing to do with the Pallet Buster just raw strength that is needed. Although don't be put off. This works a treat and far better than using a crow bar as was doing before.

Highly recommended 5 🌟
Excellent. What would have taken me hours took literally 15 minutes to complete. The buster made the task so much easier and quicker. Very well made and sturdy, no bending or warping after use, handle made of a very tough material. Highly recommended if you have a few pallets to take apart.

Unbelievable tool, a must have.
This tool is absurd. Never have i bought a tool that actually works better than advertised until this. The video reviews online really dont do this justice. Ive struggled for years and years with hammers, chisels, crowbar etc when this is so easy. I can pull a pallet apart in a minute or two, no exertion, one handed, no splits and quick. If you even want to pull a few pallets apart this is a no brainer, I cant recommend this tool enough. This was the best price I found it at as well.

Fantastic - Does the job - can take a good beating - ignore 1 and 2 star reviews - old model.
OK, Like it says this is a pallet breaker - so to start with DO NOT buy this product if you want to 'recover' nice, clean, unbroken pieces of wood from pallets - If you want nice, clean etc then do it by hand. You might to need to know some levering techniques in order to get the best out of this device, as people have reported that for some pallets the prongs are too narrow, well there are ways around this issue. You'll need a block of wood or brick to help with the breaking as well (see pictures). It weighs about @7lb/4kgs, seems solidly built, the prongs are all single piece, wielded to the main body, the body itself is very sturdy, and the handle, whilst not being (and this is a guess) solid, does seem to be thick walled tubing. The handle is nice and big and easy to grip. I'd ignore the 1 and 2 star reviews, look to me about an older model from looking at the pictures. As a marker - I dismantle a pallet beforehand (in the old way) and it would take me from 20 to 30 minutes. I timed myself, not rushing, and i dismantled a pallet in less than 15 minutes. So I recently got 9 pallets, and one was really solid, and I must says a gave this breaker a LOT of force to split the pallet apart - and it took is with no issues. (How one of the other reviews 'bent' their shaft - i don't know - but they must have put a lot of pressure on it to do that. Using the breaker, I've uploaded some picture of breaking a pallet, of how I'd start to dismantle one. The picture are - Pic 1 - a standard pallet - 3 'boards' on the bottom, 7 on the top. Pic 2 - To start with, the breaker won't reach. Pic 3 - Here where the block/brick comes in - use it to help lever off one end. Repeat this for all three 'joints'. Pic 4 - Showing here how a larger EURO pallet might look, so the prongs aren't wide enough. Pic 5 - Use the prongs at an angle and lever the block apart. Pic 6 - Use one prongs to level the block up. Pic 7 - If the block is wide enough then lever as shown. Pic 8 - If the block is not wide enough then use at an angle. Once the 3 boards and all blocks have been removed, turn the remaining pallet over and remove the boards from outside inwards - this will help as when levering the board will act in your favour (see one of the other reviewers video clips). You'll then be left with boards that need denailing - I'm going to use claw hammer for this as, whilst it's there, the nail remover will be a bit fiddly - but might be of use for big nails. Overall review - 10/10 - Couldn't be more happier with it.

A must have
I use pallet wood in our allotment garden for so many things. The wood from some pallets is decent quality - I built a garden shed from the better stuff. The less sturdy wood I use for compost bins (after a few years it rots down so I can add it to the compost and easily replace the slats with new pallet boards). I used to use a crowbar, hammer and electric hacksaw; did the job but took time and serious effort, and I always ended up splitting boards. This pallet buster makes it so easy! No more banging and prying and worrying about broken boards. The two prongs support the wood on either side so there is less chance of splitting, I can stand upright and use my body weight to pry up the slats (much easier on the back), and the tool is sturdy and feels well-made. If you take apart pallets this item is a must have. Highly recommended.

Det står att den fungerar på alla sorters pallar, men det gör den inte. För EU-pallar fungerar den inte då gafflarna sitter för tätt.

Ya he despaletizado 3 palets, se hace muy rápido. solo falta una herramienta más para quitar los clavos y todo perfecto. Se levanta sin esfuerzo, de forma muy rápida. Es muy grueso y da sensación de que no se va a partir nunca
