I recently obtained a shipping palette made out of REAL wood, not the synthetic/junk wood shipping palettes are typically made of and I wanted to salvage it for projects around the house as every normal Dad does. The leverage that this tool provides is crazy, and it works even when rocking the Crocs! I was able to tear down the palette with minimal damage in minutes. This would have taken me so much longer with a pry bar. I have plans this summer to rip up some deck boards and I have a feeling this device is going to rock it. If you break down shipping palettes often or need to rip up decking, this thing is a beast and totally worth a purchase.
