This is a pretty powerful way to take things apart. Pallets are basically 'nothing' to take apart with this tool, but you can pretty much take apart anything you can slide the teeth under if there a leverage point as well. Its very handy that you can unscrew the handle and store it in like a truck tool box or on a shelf. You can use it very easily without the extension but the extension makes it even easier. I am thinking this might even be handy for sawing up trees (jacking the wood off the ground to avoid getting your bar in the dirty). I havent tried that yet, but I suspect I will have a chance in a few weeks.
