  • Here's the best method I've found for how to quickly take apart pallets and reuse the wood for other projects.
    Using this approach I can rip apart a pallet start to finish in less then 20 minutes, saving 90% of the wood and nails for reuse.

    Dude you’re a life saver. It is frightening how often I hear my gf say “we could build that out of pallets.” …and that pallet stack ain’t getting any smaller. Yet! Cheers

    One thing my Dad showed me for the nails without heads is to set up to pull it like normal, but then twist it out sideways. I've done this a ton and it can be a bit difficult but it works really well.

      Ahh yeah I feel like I remember an old guy I worked for showing me that. Good tip 👍🏻usually by that part of the process I’m just like “fuck it” anyways haha

      There's an old tool called a nail puller that has articulated jaws and a sliding weight on the handle that pulls headless nails.
      The sideways thing works too if you just have a couple and don't want to dig out the nail puller.
      Large tile nippers can work too.
      I don't do that enough to get a pallet ripper, I use 2 flatbars, one on either side, pull in opposite directions.
      I mostly used to tear apart furniture to het into a dumpster, so mostly have to pull staples, but the carcass is often made of hardwood or clear pine which is great for projects, even large pieces of leather occasionally.

      If hard to latch onto. Get a pair of Vampliers or their cheaper version Engineer Pliers. You can just grab twist and rip them out if you're smart about leverage

      That tool doesn’t work well on Euro Palletts. They must be sturdier than the US ones.

    I like the pallet ripper. I got some tips for you that I used to get nails out of the sideboard. You just take a claw hammer and work it from side to side. Once you hook the nail in it in the nails will come out pretty easily. I’ll definitely be getting one of those pallet rippers though.😂

    I will have to try mounting a crow bar laterally to remove nails. I have been using a MAPP gas torch to heat nails up red hot and they come out easily.

    • @jacobcochrane
      @jacobcochrane  21 день назад

      Oh smart! Yeah this works pretty well. Sometimes they still break off but if the nail head doesn’t snap, they always come out pretty easy.

    Love this video. For the dirtbags with only a hammer and crow bar, you can use the first board you get off as a pry bar. Stick it between the second and third board as close to the 2x4 as possible and step on the end of your first board and you get plenty of leverage.

    Also should note the easy ways to tell what kind of wood a pallet is using. The hardwood pallets around me are sought after and people will buy the wood from them
