I’ve watched a lot of pallet busting videos and this is the first time where I’ve seen one that has that wedge over there on the wall to hold the pallet down when you’re taking it apart. Good idea.
Thanks for the video!! I don't know if you will see this comment or not, because your video was done a while back. I already have the pallet buster like yours. It's great! I got mine with the handle included for just a few dollars more. I do the middle row for 3-4 pieces, then I'll do the right side on the same boards, and then I go to the left side boards. My problem is sometimes on the last side of the pallet that I'm trying to get off the 2x4, it doesn't want to pull all the way loose. I usually have to yank and twist it. Sometimes it comes out good, sometimes it doesn't. You're Right. It's kind of heavy and a bit of a workout!! I have the Palm nailer from a deck project. My air compressor seems to always lose air, so I'm doing something wrong. It is a good idea tho!! What I've been doing is hammering the nails slightly back thru, so some head pops out. Then I take bolt cutters and cut the nail kind of short, so I don't have as much to pull back through. I did my pallets on site where I picked them up, so I can haul more. You can always use the weight of a cinder block, to hold the pallet down like you were showing, against the wall. Anybody reading this, I would get the wider pallet buster that will go over a 4x4 runner, like this one will.
I’m glad I came across your video. I’m really getting into pallet building and I have the pallet buster but that palm nailer looks awesome because that’s one of the downsides is extracting all the freaking nails. I just checked harbor freight and they have them for $30. I still thinks it’s worth it. I love harbor freight and I know you do to because I’m always coming across your videos. Keep up the good positive work.
That’s awesome! I’m glad the video helped! You should try the support on the opposite end of the pallet to help break them apart! It really helps! Thanks for the comment and hope ya subscribed! 😇
Went to Harbor Frt looking for a pallet buster head...they had never heard of it....I highly recommend they start carrying one.... bought what I wanted off Amaz...Ace hdw. had 1"x60" pipe for handle....didn't cut pipe jus used at 5' length.....
I've just been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis and breaking pallets with a hammer and crowbar just kills me. I really need a pallet buster tool so thanks for the tip.
Hay Prayers to you and your journey to good health! Make sure you try my trick by adding a wedge to prevent the other end from flipping up. You’ll love how easy the process is! Thanks for watching!!!
I just purchased a pallet Buster with a 3 extension handle for $45 I haven't got to use it yet because it's raining outside and I have to do it in the yard but mine has a flat piece across the back that goes on the runners
That tool may work on 3/8" pallet boards, but how would it hold up to removing 2" x 6" deck boards? I've seen some pallet busters being so light duty that their handles bend and even their forks distort when working on removing deck boards...
This thing would hold up. I’d bet money on it. Its welds are super strong and the pipe I used is the black heavy galvanized from the big box store! The head alone weighs about 10-12lbs! It’s a beast! I still have it!!
Luckily I work at a place that gets about 25 pallets a week. I can cherry pick the ones I want. Every now and then I get some brand new ones or some with awesome wood!
You have the nicest newest pallets I’ve ever seen. 12 min video that could have been completely done in 3 minutes. If you want to teach efficiency start by keeping videos brief.
My friend, you are using the wrong type of hammer to pull those nails, which is taking more effort and time! You are using a framing hammer as apposed to a claw hammer, which has a more of a curved, and easier to pull out nails. Btw, the palm nailer is a great idea. I have one but it never crossed my mind to use it this way. Another easy way to take out nails, is to cut them with small bolt cutters, leaving them long enough to be able to grab them with the hammer claw after hammering them out.
i would bet you a good finish on your pallet wall would be Minwax Polycrylic it dries hard as hell very durable and water based i used it on a Oak nosing on my kitchen countertops i built and lived in the house for over 25 years i used it on other peices too btw i believe Harbor Freight has the same palm nailer not sure on the price
That’s what I’m thinking too.... the Minwax Polycrylic! It should just make the wall “PoP”!!! That is exactly where I got this particular palm nailer! I love it!!! Thanks for watching!!!
$30 more and you get a Heavy Duty Professional Air Punch Nailer / Nail Remover / Nail Puller. A lot faster than palm nailer and better with bent nails/thicker wood.
One minute seems like 4 hours in the world of RUclips. Speed adjust from 1 min to 10 seconds looks no different than 20 min to 10 seconds in editing. Thanks for watching!

Fantastic! It really does help! Thanks for watching!!!
My pallet buster came with the handle attached. Also bought the ‘Air Locker’.
GREAT combo!
I’ve seen the ones with handles just wasn’t sure how strong they’d be so got this one instead. Great combo!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman My handle is welded in place.
Impossible to make it any stronger.
Using the palm nailer is a great tip, thanks.
Your so welcome!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Great vid, should have more views considering how helpful it is .
Thanks !👍👍
Thanks so much! The tips in the video are life changing! LoL. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I would not have thought about the palm nailer
Thanks Evan! Appreciate it! And yes…. It makes life super easy!
great work, learning something new every time you post a video, keep up the great work and I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
Thanks Joe!!! I appreciate all the support over the years!!! Stay safe too!!!
Lol two nails in each board try euro pallets with lots of nails in each lat
I just purchased a pallet Buster with a 3 extension handle for $45 I haven't got to use it yet because it's raining outside and I have to do it in the yard but mine has a flat piece across the back that goes on the runners
Awesome!!! Now get ya a Palm Nailer to remove those pesky nails!!! 🤣
That tool may work on 3/8" pallet boards, but how would it hold up to removing 2" x 6" deck boards?

well if that isnt the best freshly made pallets for a video ive ever seen ...lol
Luckily I work at a place that gets about 25 pallets a week. I can cherry pick the ones I want. Every now and then I get some brand new ones or some with awesome wood!
Nifty tool that!
Works like a charm. The key is hold down the pallet on the opposite side!

Sorry to disappoint! Thanks for watching!!!
Not to mention the cliche, how-to video "go ahead" crutch line repeated several times. haha
I like the palm nailer.
Yes!!! It’s so awesome!

Good tip! It’s what I had at the moment! Thanks for watching!

Wow just wow
Is that a good Wow... or a bad wow! lol
A good one amazing video
Dude, slow down the high speed disassembly so we can see what your technique is. Please.
I nid a link to nelgun
amzn.to/4eqNfIK
A minute in FAST FORWARD!!!
Pretty Awesome huh!!!
slight correction $70 tool
Inflation!!! Everything is stupid expensive now! When I bought it… it was way cheaper! LoL.
$30 more and you get a Heavy Duty Professional Air Punch Nailer / Nail Remover / Nail Puller. A lot faster than palm nailer and better with bent nails/thicker wood.
Post an Amazon link!!! I’d love to see what your talking about!!! I’ll approve the link!
Upgraded Air Locker brand will cost $50-$75
Palm nailer is a tool everyone should have and Milwaukee Cordless is expensive $150 but so nice. No compressor or cords.
un realistic clean pallet with slabs hanging off the end
Works with ANY pallet my friend! This is just the one I had at the time.
You have used what looks like a new pallet. Show us how it works on an old pallet with rusted nails in it.
Same thing. Rips them off liKe butter! Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman Great ! Thanks for the reply.
“Broke the pallet apart in one minute” never mind that the video was sped up
One minute seems like 4 hours in the world of RUclips. Speed adjust from 1 min to 10 seconds looks no different than 20 min to 10 seconds in editing. Thanks for watching!
Talk to much
Ooooops!
