Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pallet Buster, 152.4 cm Handle, 4 ton Weight Capacity, Q235 Carbon Steel, Heavy Duty Deck Wrecker Demolition Wood Pallet Tool Breaker Pry Bar Puller for Efficient and Effortless Board Removal

Works grate, it’s easy to breakdown pallets.

Item arrived promptly and in good condition. I tried it out the next morning and it worked like a champ. I was able to dismantle a somewhat damaged pallet in less than ten minutes. Thanks, Vevor! You've done it again.

The VEVOR 41-Inch-Long Pallet Buster Tool was used to remove tongue and groove siding from an old farm shed. The tool is a comfortable size to handle and use. The force generated at the working point is enough to separate the paneling from the studs with very little effort. This tool makes a difficult and time-consuming demolition project much easier and safer.

This Demolition Bar is a robust and versatile tool. With a 2000 lbs weight capacity, it’s a heavy-duty choice for tasks like deck board removal, flooring, framing, roofing, trim, and drywall, although i have been using it to break down wood pallets. Its durability and multipurpose design make it a reliable option for various demolition projects.

Full disclosure, I was given this item as part of Amazon's Vine program in exchange for an honest review, positive or negative. The pallet buster works really well. Its 41\" handle is generally suitable for most users, though, for someone like me who has arthritis and a shoulder injury, a slightly longer handle would make it easier to use. I wish it were about 6\" longer to get more leverage. However, despite this, I am still able to use it effectively; it just requires a bit more effort than I would ideally like. The pallet buster works great at dismantling pallets without causing damage to the wood. On average, I find I split board per pallet, depending on the condition of the wood. Additionally, the nails remain attached to the boards after removal. They can then be easily pulled with a wrecking bar or a dedicated nail puller. A useful tip for those considering this tool is the technique of board removal. I've found that starting from one side of the board, then moving to the opposite side, and finishing in the middle yields the best results. Starting on one side, then the middle, then the opposite side, causes the first side to fly up unless you have a helper to stand on the first end. One notable design issue is with the pallet buster's two loose paws, which act as its forks in the splitting process. They have a tendency to flip around 180 degrees. This means you have to stop what you are doing and flip them back around. This seems more like a design oversight than an intentional feature. The absence of any directions or tips/tricks with the product make is, so I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature. It may have some use, but not when dismantling pallets, as far as I can tell. If I wouldn't mess up the paint, I would weld pins to hold them in place. Aside from the handle length and the issue with the flipping paws, this pallet buster is a very effective tool. It does its job well and fast, with only minimal wood damage.

I have been tearing down pallets for a number of years and have a collection of various tools to help in this matter and so, I was happy to add this tool to my collection. In my experience, there is no one tool that works well for all pallets. I use the VEVOR Pallet Buster for larger, heavier skids and so far, it has worked extremely well. It really isn’t useful for smaller pallets where the deck board spacing is close together but I have another tool for that. The handle on the VEVOR Pallet Buster seems a little on the light side compared to my other pallet tool but it is holding up pretty well. The paint is wearing off too but that’s to be expected with the type of work this tool is used for. So far, I am very happy with the VEVOR Pallet Busting tool.

I have another \"big box\" brand breaker - and this one is way better. I was a bit skeptical at first by the pivoting bars on the end of the pry but I can see the light of the design now. You always get a good flat pry on the material so you reduce breakage. I like to salvage all that I can, and this tool allows me to do that with pallets. I could not recommend this tool more if you are as likeminded.

Great product I disassembled a pallet in a fraction as I used to without it and without breaking boards. Very sturdy great price there is plate welded on the base which makes it sturdy. I read other review of other products that bent or handle is in 3 pieces, this one is one piece and handle is thick enough. There are gloves included. Im so happy

It's a simple tool designed to give you leverage. Lots of it. I've been breaking up pallets by hand for years and never thought of getting something like this. Fantastic is a word. Had a few pallets left over from fall deliveries that I've been procrastinating taking them down and this tool did one in about 2 minutes. Heavy steel with good welds and a nice painted finish. Nothing negative about this thing whatsoever. Highly recommend getting one!

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.
