In the past, my pallet disassembly process was a hammer and crowbar, which kept me bent over on my hands and knees working up quite a sweat. This tool makes that process so much easier - with a lot less bending over and a lot less broken boards. With it I can pop the boards off pretty easily and then remove the nails on a workbench, which my back really appreciates! It can be a little awkward with the \"teeth\" flipping around but it's not a big deal to put them in the right orientation every once in a while.
