It works great, breaks down pallets super fast and the leveling/rotating arms at the bottom help prevent cracking/splitting of boards. I did put Loctite on the threads of the screws because they would come loose after a few pallets and the paint does chip off a bit so losing some points there but for functionality and speed it is faster than a crowbar, Sawzall, or any other method i tried. I do also like that it is one piece welded together so I don't have to worry about the pole breaking and it offers the perfect amount of leverage.
