how to strip a pallet with simple cheap tools (un-powered) in just over 10 minutes
HTML-код

- Pallet strip in 12 minutes (a rush job as my 600D won't record much longer than that in one hit) the easiest, fastest, safest way I have worked out so far to dismantle a pallet, it doesn't mark the wood or damage it excessively and only needs a few wooden blocks, a one handed sledgehammer (the one seen in this video is 4 pounds) a claw hammer and some vice grips in case the nail heads pull off.
No sawzall or any other exciting power tools required so the risk of injury is reduced.
I’m sitting here watching this in stunned silence. I’ve worked out a few different ways to dismantle a pallet, but this guy puts my methods in the shitter. Very nice work sir, and thanks for sharing. You should get an award!
I had to do it wrong lots before I worked out how to do it ok, take it from here and improve this method, good luck!
same here bro, i feel so stupid right now!!!
@@PTRK9 Yeah! )) he made over a grand just showing it to you through youtube. ))))
I know your comment was 7 months ago but you expressed EXACTLY my sentiments. I have a bunch of pallets to dsassemble and I've looked into different ways to do it with the least damage to the boards AND the best way to ensure all the nails are removed (for planing / cutting). I even welded up a tool to help but it frequently damages the boards. I knew there had to be a better way and.......THIS IS IT! This guys is a genious. It is really true that the best solutions to most problems are usually just simple and elegant.
I think this deserves a Nobel peace prize
This guy silently steps into the frame, dismantles the pallet with military precision, and walks off camera. Not a word. This was ridiculously entertaining lol.
"show don't tell" I was mainly trying to get it in one take, hadn't worked out editing then.
Brother, own this as your M.O.
It’s the most brilliant 12 minutes of “get it done” I’ve ever seen. Simply awesome!
AND the nails are all in a pile!
You might like the "primitive technology" channel, then. ruclips.net/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA
@@thetinysideoftiny7625Exactly, I've watched it 3 times and counting!
I seen tons of vids on pallet stripping, but this by far the best yet!! No fancy tools needed to top it all off! Bravo!! Thank you so much!!
Six years since you posted this, yet the demonstration allowed me to dismantle a couple of pallets today. So so easy for me to do. Thank you for showing this
I'd update it if they changed the way they made pallets, glad to help!
It's now 7 years and what I find great is not only is this the best video because there are no power tools involved. Because we don't all have them but that this gentle man still corresponds with people that watches this great video. Thank you sir👍🏿🤝🏾
Pure unadulterated Genius. No fuss , no stupid preamble , just good clear workmanship. Brilliant. And simple.
what is that old quote. ~ "simplicity if design is the surest indicator of intelligence"
as good as all that?
Amen
Yep.... with an almost new pallet that was kept dry in it's short life. A used one that has rusty nails, will split the wood with every " easy " use of that hammer. The even more easy way is to get the wood before they make a pallet of it. ( I convert a mobilehome living unit with a wooden extension on a semi trailer, the thing partly integreted in the " pallet " wood. I cut the nails between the planks with a jigsaw where I have put a selfmade saw in from a half ironsaw blade , flexible enough to cut even the nails in the middle part. Then , I hit the leftover from the nails out of the planks with a small diameter tool) Palletwood has to tell a story, not the one only when it was a tree .....
he is indeed a Genius i came here to write that
I love how he didn’t say a single word just let his work do the talking awesome n simple right on bro
quiet guys are Gods in bed
Just watch and learn
I get that. I am visually impaired, so some explanation is sometimes practical. Like in the beginning how he used wood pieces.
I just watched about 5 “simple method” videos on how to disassemble pallets and this is by far the best for anyone without power tools. May God continue to bless you with methodical and intelligent ways to simplify life. Thank you kindly!!! I can do this 😊.
Thanks, happy hammering!
Best for anyone with power tools too. I have used power tools in the past to take apart pallets. This is easier and doesn't mar them any further. I'll never use a power tool on a pallet again
How to post a genuine unique comment to this dream of dismantling a pallet - with 2.903 comments by now? The 24.828th liker (that's me) with roughly 15 pallets to dismantle is now excited and thrilled to go to work! All my love - you are the man!!
Haha that will of fine, thanks and good luck!
This is perfection! No dragging of feet. No annoying commentary. Down straight to the point. Perfect angles and perspective. Well done. No speed altering needed! I have watched several other videos on this, and this is BY FAR the BEST
Thanks, I would have edited it if I knew how at the time, maybe better that I didn't.
SPE yes, I really think that not editing added to the absolute simplicity of the technique. Again, you did a good job!
It helped that I had to get it done before the camera stopped recording. Thanks for artificial limitations Cannon I guess!
SPE 🤣🤣
Perfect. They may as well delete all the other pallet dismantling videos and just have this one 😍
Yeah finally
myaccountagain
They really should!! This is thee best one out there! I need to be more patient and actually pull the nails out instead of just banging them in though..... 🤔😖😂
If you do a lot of this you could make up a jig tha t could reduce the handling quite a bit. Nice neat job and no sweat
I'm gonna wreck some pallets
Mind blown!
I’ve taken apart hundreds of these pallets. I thought I was efficient with my hammer and pry bar. I have been schooled. That was amazing!!
I didn't have a prybar thatt was any good at pallets when I started, and using a plank barely worked so that encouraged me to try other ways. Thanks for watching!
The simplicity and super low cost of this method is borderline genius ... bravo my friend.
That was like a master class in the power and efficiency of the right tools and the right process. Simply amazing!
Master of pallets, sounds like a metal album. Thanks!
It was very basic and not that special calm down
No u
Perfect. The BEST and most INTELLIGENT way to deal with pallets. Congrats. No nasty music, no bad explanations. Perfect.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!!!!
7 years later and I'm watching this now. This video is amazing and priceless for everyone who wants to work with pallets (which I'm just starting to do). Thank you for this. Seriously.
Glad to see it is still relevant, but it will be as long as pallets are free and timber isn't :)
Thank you, I'm 69 years old and you've taught me something useful!
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Nice
That's OK.... I'm 74 and I've just found a better way too!!
NEVER underestimate Old Dogs where learning new tricks goes....!
nice
@@christophercameron4905 Us old dogs just pretend not to learn new tricks and sit off to the side quietly studying this alien technology… Another saying that I tend to employ often “When you have a complex and difficult problem, assign it to your laziest man. He will find the easiest way of accomplishing said goal.”
I’ve just finished my first pallet, quick and no fuss....also managed to save all the wood and not a pry bar in sight ! Thanks for an awesome technique.
Good to hear, glad it worked for you!
FINALLY...dude!! You’ve no idea how many vids I watched to get this done simply and with out buying special tools.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU...THANK YOU. you rock🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love it sooo simple 👍😉
Exactly! One video showed a homemade metal tool and an air-powered something or other....I picked up pallets because they're free, I'm not going to buy and build special tools lol
Stacy McIntyre right? ❤️🤟🏼❤️
@@stacymcintyre1796 LOL!! I just told my wife that... "I'm not going to buy a new frickin power saw and blades to salvage free wood.. that's just dumb!"
Yes, totally agree. I went through the same process and was about to dump $50+ on a big tool that's just going to collect dust for 90% of the time. This is genius!
Not a word...NO background music......just straight to the point NO messing. Thumbs up from me.
Thanks sir. You help me a lot for dismantling pallets cause I’m 70 years old. Thanks again.
The best demo I’ve ever seen thus far. Pure basic tools, creativity & safety caution all in place. Some good excercise there and saved some $, too. 🤝bro.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I loved your video because you don't speak anything but teaching more than talk a lot. Thanks for share with us. 🇧🇷🙏
Yes, I agree. Most videos take up so much time talking. I can understand if something had to be explained but, like in this one nothing needed to be spoken just shown. So far in my videos, I haven't said a word. Of course, mine is all show and no tell.
No loud silly music no yakking just simple pallet strip.great job eh.
Jim Morrison imagine that. A video that just does what we came here for. I’m amazed.
This is the BEST way I have ever seen! Am I’m really angry at myself for not figuring out this brilliantly simple way
I'm angry at you too.... only joking. I'm angry too, as I'm like you, I didn't figure this simple way of doing it!
I just watched a video and went out and bought $50 worth of equipment to dismantle pallets and ended up snapping half of them. I feel pretty stupid too. I'm going to try this method.
If you are snapping pallet tools they might be tough guys, give this a go though, I usually try this way first before trying more annoying methods,y pallet shelf build video is worth a look for a different method. Good luck!
Thanks for your quick reply. I meant to say the pallet slats were snapping when I was using the pry bar to get them out. Maybe it was the quality of wood but this pallet was pretty new and I watched a few videos and they said having the slats snap as you pry them out is pretty common.
I'll keep trying. The first time is always the toughest. Perhaps the slightly snapped pallet slats will add to the character of the build :)
Pure genius. Can't believe so many thumbs down on this video. Don't think I'll ever see a better method of dismantling a pallet than this. Thanks for the video. All the best. 👏
Thanks! It wouldn't be RUclips without a few thumbs pointing down, guess some people don't get it, maybe they gave a better method? Thanks for watching!
The 363 dislikes are from those people who made videos about dismantling with expensive tools!
MissFlint4U 😂🤣👍 love your comment.
employees of home Depot!
MissFlint4U Or people who don’t have that much time... :)
Or people who saw those videos, went out and bought expensive tools, THEN saw this one!
😂😂😂 💯 true
The genius is on the simplicity and not needing special tools for this method. I just tried and it works great. Thanks for posting this video
Glad it worked for you Joe, it needs a bit of adjustment for different pallets, these had pretty thin boards and small nails but it scales up OK.
how would you scale it up?
by hitting harder mainly!
THIS IS WHAT A MAN WITH A VERY HIGH I.Q. FIGURED OUT. No question THE best pallet dismantling idea. Genius.
thanks!
I concur!
How to use a triangle square
And I'm sure none broken pieces. unlike the other videos that didnt take us anywhere. This is simple and efficient and best result
Well only 2 broken pieces
Now that ladies and gentlemen is how it's done. No needless talking, he just does it and walks off. That walk off was something akin to a mic-drop moment.
That is the most common sense and easiest way to disassemble a pallet. Definitely the way to go. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Best idea I've seen yet. No talking, no music, just getting the job done.
"... and for the next video, this guy is going to use his pallet wood to build a house in 13 minutes with the same tools." Amazingly clever, efficient, effective dude!
Maybe a shed, I like houses to be warm and cool when you want them to be. Thanks!
CCW Noob: you're a trip.
Funny!!
Dude just dismantled the zillion other pallet videos the algorithm has been giving me. He wins, hands down.
Cheers!
I started watching this but then had to go do other things in another window on my computer. I kept it playing in the background and was comforted by hearing the sounds. Brings me back to warm childhood memories with my carpenter father doing projects in the garage and the back yard.
So glad you did this I only have a hammer and some pieces of wood this is so helpful thank you!
You sir, are a genius. Thank you for sharing this with the world. The farther into the video, the simplicity and critical thinking that you display astounds me. Amazing. I almost look forward to processing pallets after your video. Proof that the most effective tool in any craftsperson's shop is his mind. Again, thank you!

This is THE video for dismantling pallets! Just spent 15 minutes swearing at a pallet and decided to see if good ole' YT could help. Genius method. Thank you kind sir, you have saved me a lot of time and effort.
Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting!
Some of the best commentary come from a closed Mouth.
Excellent,Simple and to the point.
BRILLIANT example of working smarter not harder...thank you!!!
I swear the pallet I took apart laughed at me. Trying this method next time.
8stringmonkey lol best description ever.
😃😃Nice bro
Cheers!
The pallets I'm trying to take apart laugh at Spock's Vulcan death grip. I need the jaws of life for these suckers.
I was just about to buy some sort of electric saw and I saw this!!!! You just saved me from all my stupidity, thank you!
So many people use a saw it is natural to think that is the way to do it, I don't agree :) thanks for watching!
The best video I have seen on stripping pallets, you do not need to watch any others.
Besides my other videos on stripping pallets :) Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Finally! And thank you for not talking for 5 minutes
Complicating this task is easy ... making it simple is hard. Thanks for making this simple, safe, and really low cost.
A touch of hard work, ingenuity and a whole lot of common sense and WALLAH!! You are my hero!! Cheers Mate!!
Very nice piece of demonstrations without any (unnecessary ) longwinded talking, and distracting hand gesturing. Fabulous.
Cheers!
His ancestors invented the wheel
Lol
I second that.
But, I thunk my ancestors invented the square one.
Outstanding!
Been taking them apart for 30 years, never that easy. Thanks, will try it!
Genius!!! After a half day of SLOW progress, I stumbled on a variation of your idea; but, you idea is much more elegant! Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers! It took me a while to work this out and it doesn't always work but is a good place to start.
The best easy most systematic way I've ever seen to pull pallets apart
Love it. No need to purchase or require power tools. Thanks.
Thank you for your contribution here. Now I feel more confidant about making a pallet wall because I will be able to dismantle them and reuse the lumber
Thanks for showing the way. Going to start dismantling pallets now that I have an endless source of them. I am tight on cash and was looking at all the videos showing methods with pallet busters and air compressor guns to get the nails out. This is absolutely the way I will be going. Ingenuity at its finest.
best video on the internet about dismantling a pallet, hands down!
Wow. This is insanely smart and yields more usable wood than if you used power tools.
Cheers!
So awesome you just made my life so much easier, Now off I go to dismantle pallets!
😂😂😂😂👍 me toooooo 😜
I know I commented on this years ago...& it has come to THAT time again, I don’t have a crowbar & dreaded dismantling ...UNTIL I RE-SAW THIS AGAIN!! thank you dude, forever my hero of the pallet world. Xx
Haha I find myself doing that sometimes, welcome back!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just spent an hour trying to dismantle one trying to save the wood and I see this!!!!!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
Thanks, hope it works first you!
Guessing he got an “A+” in physics. Well thought out from start to finish.
A good organized mind produces an intelligent, well thought out solution to a problem - very nice.
You are the only one I've seen who has removed nails. Super useful! Thank you!
I love this. No endless talking. Thank you so much.
Cheers
I don’t care if a sawzall is faster. This dude just gave us the cheat code. However, my favorite part is where he puts on eye and ear protection.
I'm a FIRM believer in Saftey First!!
Take it from me, accidents happen I’ve had too many close calls with my eyes and that’s always something I leave to my judgement and I wouldn’t use for this but hearing I understand completely, I’m 1/2 steps (l/r) away from legally deaf and it’s all from exposure to crap like this and working in a loud factory with improper protection. You’ll regret not protecting your hearing one day trust me.
should definitely be wearing hearing and eye protection for this
I think he's listening to radio on his wireless headphones. I've got some just like them, fantastic sound, but does tuned to heat up your ears when you wear them all day.
He is also wearing boots and leather gloves.
At last a thinking man, my congratulations with full honours to you.
You sir are a genius!! The amount of videos telling me I need a saw and power tools!
Cheers! I use powertools on some pallets but for most I think this method works better.
Wow! I'm impressed. That's the most common sense thing I've seen yet and most cost effective. Thanks for that!❤
Cheers!
Thank you, the simple ways are indeed the best. I've dismantled a few pallets now and improve every time but trying to remove bent nails isn't easy and this method eliminates bent nails!!
I would say ‘if only you knew what you’ve just done for people’ but I know you know. This was so smart and you’ve shown us all a much easier way to make a tedious job simple.
Thanks! If this only stops one person from using a sawzall i'll be happy :)
That is very very clever, How many people out there are saying “why didn’t I think of that “ pure genius, well done lad 👍😃
Cheers!
I'm just mad I had to sit through a dozen inferior videos about breaking pallets before I found this gem.
This somewhat worked for us. We had one person stand on the pallet. Also the wood splintered more often than not. But the pallet in this video looks pretty new. Ours were old and had sometimes 6-8 nails on one end.
Wow! Great method. Easiest way to strip a pallet I've ever seen. I'll be trying this. Thanks
I've watched at least 15-20 videos on dismantling pallets over the past 10 years. I absolutely love your system! You Rock!
Thanks!
Outstanding! Was craving for a low tech no power tools method. I am impressed by the effectiveness and precision. Kudos. Found this video to have great value. Thank you for posting.
Cheers, thanks for taking the time to comment!
Just the fact he didn’t pick up the pullers once mind blown 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Aw, simply genius from start to finish - I love it when it's simple and effective like that. And love how you did even the last bit of wood, lol.
I'm trying to build a fence with basically zero dollars, am on such a tight budget. Thank you and God bless you, this is gonna help me so much.
You are most welcome, hope the build goes smoothly!
Best pallet dismantling ever!!!! You are the man!!! Greatest video for DIY with budget
Cheers!
Finally!! Exactly what I've been searching for. A simple straightforward practical DIY method. All the other methods I've seen are superfluous by comparison. This is absolutely ingenious. Thank you so much.
Of all the ways I've seen to dismantle pallets, this one is my favorite. No single-use specialty pry bars, no power tools. The support blocks can be made from oak pallet wood. People (like me) who are drawn to reclaiming pallet wood in the first place are probably motivated to do so primarily by budget constraints; this whole setup can be had for less than $10. Grab a couple hammers at a yard sale and you are fully equipped. I can see that you have thought this process through; beginners can learn a lot by studying your technique. If some of the boards split apart during disassembly, no worries--throw 'em in the firewood pile and go scavenge some more pallets.... A true renewable resource that doesn't require a chain saw, a 4X4, and a trip to the forest: pallets are everywhere.
I never thought I would scream of joyous awe seeing someone dismantling a pallet. Thank you! You, sir, have made my life much easier and affordable :D
Lol thanks!
By far the best pallet stripping video I have seen!
finally, someone with a brain !!! ive been watch8ng people try to pry these apart and couldn't really believe that the average human cant grasp basic task like this...
hahaha thanks, I definitely did it the wrong way the first few times, after seeing a video of someone nearly cut his leg off while using a sawzall/reciprocating saw to cut through the nails I figured this way was OK enough to suggest to other people. Even If it only prevents one amputation my work has not been in vain.
Just watched about 6 other videos thinking there HAS to be a better way to do this lol xD your method is brilliant, perfect, the rest of them might as well go home.
to slow
Too slow* No, it's saving the wood and the next best thing would be a Sawzall/Reciprocating Saw - but this is still faster than even using a Sawzall. Or you can get a circular saw and cut the ends of them all off and lose usable material.
Nicholas Brown 3 minutes for a sawzall or 12 minutes this way... I guess this way is faster.
This was a light duty pallet. But even if the nail heads rip out of the board. At least the board won't crack halfway down. And I'll have easier access to the nails than if I use the recip saw! I'll definitely try it!
Excellent work bro. I just bought a bunch of pallet wood, already separated. Whoever did it used the sawzall method and I still had to pop out the heads. This also made one side of the wood scared from the blade. This is just genius.
Yeah that's why I haven't tried the sawzall method, bit rough they didn't knock the nailheads out though.
Wow, brilliant. Simple and effective. No electricity required.
Amazing! To think of how long it’s taken me in the past...Grrrrrr!! 😡😡
Wow, love the vid! Jumped up immediately with anxious anticipation to jump on my 16 pallets, and after 20 mins I’m back to give you the news!! Not all pallets are made equal!! Some seem to have been NASA engineered to resist pounding and reverse engineering through some sort of self destruct mechanism and specialized fastening capabilities which causes 2*4 to split in the pounding process🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ anyways some seem to of the easy dismantle kind...
Yeah you need to get creative with some of them :)
This proves it! You’re NEVER too old to learn. This bloke’s a genius ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cheers!
I like how quietly he's working .. no loud rock music or bla bla bla ..
Amazing !!!!! Thank you
Just birds squawking. Thanks for watching!
Straight out of the "Why didn't I think of that" file! Brilliant. Drop the mic bro.
Simply the BEST pallet breakdown video on RUclips!!!! Thank you for posting this, I have been using my reciprocating saw to break down pallets and not only is it not efficient but many of the boards were cracking. Your technique is clearly superior and I will be doing it this way from here on out.
Thanks! Hope this method works for you.
I've probably watched a dozen videos on how to do this and nobody comes close for efficiency. This changes everything. Thanks, man. Strong work.
No problem, thanks for watching!
I was going to stop watching when there was no talking, but I'm so glad I kept watching. Absolute genius !!
Thanks for sticking with it, I know not everyone likes no talking videos.
This is going to save me a whole lot of pain. I have chronic pain and getting this done so fast will help keep the damage down:) Thank you so much :) I am new at this so this video is the best :)
A Longer thumping block should allow you to do it standing up, but I guess you would still have to move the support blocks pretty often. Hope it goes smoothly for you!
one of the best, simple, easy, and cheap ways to strip ...well done.
I really did want you to take a bow at the end. Wish all who gave you a thumbs up could give you a standing ovation at the same time. LOL It was truly a performance. Someone said military precision. Exactly. Thanks for sharing your method. What a time saver overall. Jesus bless.
Lol Cheers
This is what I needed 10-12 years ago! I took a piece of 1X4 to my mouth trying to pry bar a pallet apart. I was 'lucky' and didn't lose any teeth. This way is smarter, faster, and safer!
Excellent video!
Thanks! What's the golden rule, "keep your mouth closed, a fat lip is better than a cracked tooth" I caught a thumping block to the forehead which is about the best place in the head to catch one. Thanks for watching!
This was a joy to watch! I was actually riveted. What a brilliantly simple and effective technique. I'm now excited to finally tackle the pallets I have stacked on my back porch. Your method gets ten thumbs up from me!!!!
Glad to hear, good luck!
How could you dislike this video it’s pure genius
That's RUclips I guess. Thanks for watching and not disliking!
@@lapislignum Excellent, clean, precise, efficient, tidy!
@The Bob Smith thanks! They don't always go this smoothly :)
I didn't dislike, but I would imagine it's people (like me) who tried this only to discover that it only works on certain pallets....not all styles of pallet leave room for you to insert these pieces of wood and in order to create that kind of space, you have to remove boards - the hard way
Thank you so much. The technique is on point. I did it today using some scrap 2x6 pieces and it worked like a charm. Not a single stem broken on 6 pallets. Thank you so much !
Nice one!
Your use of common logic,is pure science,top marks,
Cheers, thanks for watching!
