Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pallet Buster, 104 cm Handle, 907 kg Weight Capacity, Q235 Carbon Steel, Heavy Duty Deck Wrecker Demolition Wood Pallet Tool Breaker Pry Bar Puller for Efficient and Effortless Board Removal

I use pallet wood for craft projects, and I can usually get pallets for free or pretty cheap. But breaking them apart is a huge pain. I’ve tried just about every method imaginable and there is no perfect and easy way to do it. But this breaker bar does do a pretty good job of separating the slats from the rails. Boards will break every once in awhile, but that’s just part of it, no matter how you are breaking them apart. Pallets are usually pretty cheap wood. The quality is pretty good - it will hold up to regular use, even in a warehouse setting. I don’t think the paint will hold up to regular abuse, but I am not concerned with keeping this looking brand new. You can always touch it up with some spray paint if needed. Overall this thing works well for its intended purpose And I would buy again if I needed another. For the price its a great value. Tip: You can make pallet busting even easier with a pneumatic nail remover to quickly remove nails from boards once they have been pulled apart.

As a suburban homeowner, I seem to occasionally collect pallets due to delivery of furniture or other large items. That always leaves me with the burden of figuring out how to get rid of the pallets after the fact. My normal routine is to grab a hammer, and pry and beat the pallet into submission. It's a bit of work and you end up with broken pieces that aren't usable for much else. When I saw this pry bar, I jumped at the chance to make the process easier as I have 2 pallets in my garage awaiting destruction. First, let me say this bar is extremely well built. I think you'd hurt yourself before doing any damage to it. It would easily stand up to a construction work site, which I think was the actual thought behind it, never mind a suburban homeowner like me. As for utility, the long lever arm definitely makes prying up boards from a pallet much easier than my hammer method. You can pull a pallet apart in no time and while you may still have some boards crack, in my experience at least, you have more salvageable material at the end if that's what you're after. The only complaint I might have, and I consider this very minor, is that it comes with a \"user manual\" that doesn't tell you how to use it at all. There's some wording about safety and such but not in use. Maybe it's supposed to be intuitive? There are two pivoting fingers on it, and I spent some trial-and-error time trying to figure out if they should be facing up or down on the initial pry. Looking at some pictures on the Internet, it appears they should be on the upper side. This makes the most sense as I assume the purpose is to keep the flat surface of the fingers against the bottom of the board as you pry up. Were they flipped down, they'd already be effectively locked in position and not rotate during the pry. Overall, very satisfied. Awaiting more pallets to destroy!

I've come to like Vevor products, and this was no exception. The tool felt hefty and very sturdy, but also easy to wield. The paint and welded areas seem quite solid. On using it, it worked like a charm and got most of the boards removed without breaking, and the tool still looks almost new. We had two pallets sitting in the backyard, old but still solid enough taking it apart would have taken work. But this made it very quick and easy. If you break apart a lot of pallets, or have a deck or similar wooding project to tear up, this will save your time and back. Great quality, and the handle is solid enough you might find use for it in other ways too

My hobby is carpentry, and I watch a lot of videos on Youtube about making furniture from pallet wood. What had always stopped me was the effort involved in breaking the pallets apart. This tool makes dismantling pallets a whole lot easier. It should work well for decking, too. I wish I’d had this last year when I had to remove and replace the old decking boards on my back deck! I should also add that I’m a woman and I don’t have great upper body strength, but with this tool, you don’t need it. This tool is very heavy and that helps it to do the job. It works on the principle of leverage, so it makes it fairly easy to pry the pallets apart even if you’re not very strong. This is so much easier than using a pry bar! Also, the tool seems to be sturdy and well made, so it should be durable.

I build a lot of projects from reclaimed pallet wood, and this is the easiest tool I have used to take them apart. They still split sometimes, but not as often as other methods I have tried. It is long enough for decent leverage, and I never felt like I was overloading. The fit and finish is fine, although that doesn't really matter much to me on a tool like this. Tip: Always fun a metal detector over reclaimed wood before cutting or milling it.. Good tool.

I get pallets from time to time and hate trying to dispose of them. I usually resort to a chainsaw or sawzall to break them down and fit them in the trash can. With this pallet buster tool I can break them down into boards to re-use or just for easy burning in the firepit. It doesn't come with instructions but I was quickly able to figure it out. The tips swivel and you can use them flat to help protect the board or pointed for extra power. I will say that the pallet I used it on was a pine pallet. It mostly pulled the boards through the nails and some boards broke. No big deal for me, but if you are trying to repurpose the boards this might destroy a few. Overall this thing is very well built, it is all thick steel and solidly welded. The paint or powdercoating has held up well so far. It is getting scratched on the working parts but nothing has chipped off yet. I will be using this to break down my old fence on the future and am happy to have it.

This thing is sweet! It’s heavy and very durable. Great powder coat finish, no runs or signs of being hustled through production. The packaging was an added bonus. The box was even a very durable and thick cardboard. Great presentation all around, from box to product. Nice work Vevor!

This is a great, heavy duty pallet tool. These are great for pulling up decking too which is my primary use for it. Most decks in the past 20 years are built with screws that are just rusted, corroded, or buried in the board and they take forever to try to take out. Pull up your first board (or two) of your deck run, then bring this thing out and you're popping up deck boards quickly. This has a flexible head that helps save boards too if you're as perpetually cheap as I am. The heads keep even pressure on the board you're lifting as they rotate on the tool joint. I've put ample pressure on the handle to see it arc quite a bit but I haven't actually bent it. I could see re-enforcing the handle if you really needed to by sliding another piece of steel inside this one but you'd be adding weight to the tool and you'd really be putting some serious force on this thing to need that. I'm very happy with this and anticipate it lasting more than my life time.

This is a good version of this tool, well built. If your pallets are hardwood or have strong cross-boards, or are nailed weakly, this sort of tool will take them apart. Surely there are other situations where it would come in handy. I'm glad I have it. Most of the pallets I have around are old with rusted nails, and softwood, though. This sort of tool cannot get the boards up if the wood breaks before the nails release, even if I go back and forth and pry a little here and a little there. But then no version of this tool would work, and this is better than some because it has more surface area and width on the cross-boards so they won't break as fast. I find that many items are right for someone and not right for someone else, and I aim to help people decide if they're the ones who can benefit from the item. This item is 5*, a good version of the tool if you can make use of it, at a good price. The paint on the lower plates that contact the boards won't last long even though it's powder coated, because in normal use you are applying pressure and rubbing it against rough lumber, abrading the paint off. So follow the advice in the instructions and apply rust remover to any exposed areas. I use a mixture of phosphoric acid and water in a spray bottle.

Really nice tool. The welds look good and the paint is thick and solid. The packing was professional and as a result, the tool arrived without a scratch. The handle is nice and comfortable - I would have preferred the top be covered as well to help prevent sliding over time, but it's a minor preference thing, and you will only be pulling, not pushing with this, so maybe moot anyway. The key to a good pallet buster, aside from overall strength, is the pivoting arms to help apply even upward pressure and not split the wood. These move freely, and the whole tool is robust. Couldn't ask for much more.
