Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pallet Buster, 60-Inch Handle, 8818 lbs Weight Capacity, Q235 Carbon Steel, Heavy Duty Deck Wrecker Demolition Wood Pallet Tool Breaker Pry Bar Puller for Efficient and Effortless Board Removal

I get pallets from time to time and hate trying to dispose of them. I usually resort to a chainsaw or sawzall to break them down and fit them in the trash can. With this pallet buster tool I can break them down into boards to re-use or just for easy burning in the firepit. It doesn't come with instructions but I was quickly able to figure it out. The tips swivel and you can use them flat to help protect the board or pointed for extra power. I will say that the pallet I used it on was a pine pallet. It mostly pulled the boards through the nails and some boards broke. No big deal for me, but if you are trying to repurpose the boards this might destroy a few. Overall this thing is very well built, it is all thick steel and solidly welded. The paint or powdercoating has held up well so far. It is getting scratched on the working parts but nothing has chipped off yet. I will be using this to break down my old fence on the future and am happy to have it.

This thing is sweet! It’s heavy and very durable. Great powder coat finish, no runs or signs of being hustled through production. The packaging was an added bonus. The box was even a very durable and thick cardboard. Great presentation all around, from box to product. Nice work Vevor!

This is a great, heavy duty pallet tool. These are great for pulling up decking too which is my primary use for it. Most decks in the past 20 years are built with screws that are just rusted, corroded, or buried in the board and they take forever to try to take out. Pull up your first board (or two) of your deck run, then bring this thing out and you're popping up deck boards quickly. This has a flexible head that helps save boards too if you're as perpetually cheap as I am. The heads keep even pressure on the board you're lifting as they rotate on the tool joint. I've put ample pressure on the handle to see it arc quite a bit but I haven't actually bent it. I could see re-enforcing the handle if you really needed to by sliding another piece of steel inside this one but you'd be adding weight to the tool and you'd really be putting some serious force on this thing to need that. I'm very happy with this and anticipate it lasting more than my life time.

This is a good version of this tool, well built. If your pallets are hardwood or have strong cross-boards, or are nailed weakly, this sort of tool will take them apart. Surely there are other situations where it would come in handy. I'm glad I have it. Most of the pallets I have around are old with rusted nails, and softwood, though. This sort of tool cannot get the boards up if the wood breaks before the nails release, even if I go back and forth and pry a little here and a little there. But then no version of this tool would work, and this is better than some because it has more surface area and width on the cross-boards so they won't break as fast. I find that many items are right for someone and not right for someone else, and I aim to help people decide if they're the ones who can benefit from the item. This item is 5*, a good version of the tool if you can make use of it, at a good price. The paint on the lower plates that contact the boards won't last long even though it's powder coated, because in normal use you are applying pressure and rubbing it against rough lumber, abrading the paint off. So follow the advice in the instructions and apply rust remover to any exposed areas. I use a mixture of phosphoric acid and water in a spray bottle.

Really nice tool. The welds look good and the paint is thick and solid. The packing was professional and as a result, the tool arrived without a scratch. The handle is nice and comfortable - I would have preferred the top be covered as well to help prevent sliding over time, but it's a minor preference thing, and you will only be pulling, not pushing with this, so maybe moot anyway. The key to a good pallet buster, aside from overall strength, is the pivoting arms to help apply even upward pressure and not split the wood. These move freely, and the whole tool is robust. Couldn't ask for much more.

I've had several pallet busters over the years and this is by far the best one I've had or used. Heavy duty with plenty of leverage to bust apart pallets without wrecking the wood. Well worth the reasonable price. Vevor makes some great tools and this is no exception.

First of all, this is a heavy-duty tool. It can handle a lot without the handle flexing. We plan on replacing the dock in the Spring, but for the sake of this review, we removed a couple of the boards now. Even though it's currently 25 degrees and spitting snow. You'll still need to do some manual labor before using this tool. You have to remove the first 1-2 deck boards yourself in order to place this tool in the proper prying position for enough leverage. After that, this thing is a beast. But it's so cold the rest will have to wait for the big thaw.

The fit and finish is much nicer than expected. The rubber grip on the handle is much sturdier than the more foam-like grips on most of our other equipment. Packaging is very professional and it came quick. Our lead warehouse guy is almost excited and looking forward to fixing pallets much easier and quicker.

Vevor's manufacturing finish sometimes leaves finesse behind, and the welding on this unique tool is no exception; the joints, while strong, are crudely finished and visibly rough. Perhaps the grinder wasn't working the day they welded mine ... That being said, this is a very useful tool if, like me, you salvage lumber from shipping pallets and other \"reclaimed\" sources. It's also great for disassembling other structures like decks, docks and boardwalks, although that's not listed in the description.

This is a pretty useful tool works great for shingles or ripping boards and flooring up. Built outta sturdy materials should last a lifetime. Great tool for an awesome price
