RoughneckGorilla ROU64640 Demolition & Lifting Bar Tool - Heavy-Duty Prying Tool for Ripping & Lifting Floorboards, Beams

This is one of the best tools I have ever used for doing the job it was designed for. Before using a hammer, crowbar etc would take forever to dismantle a pallet and result from n a few broken pieces. Now with this breaker bar, once you master the technique in only a few minutes you can successfully dismantle a range of pallets. Very strong and robust too. Brilliant.

What a piece of equipment, used it on my decking, so easy to use to remove decking boards. Made my job easier.

Used for getting old decking up. Brilliant. Easy to get boards up and get them up in one piece.

The package arrived promptly, in a long cardboard box, showing an image of the contents (pallet buster) on one side.The tool was wrapped in clear plastic bags. These had dents / scratches / marks on the ends showing the tool had been moved around quite a bit before being shipped, but the tool itself had no marks or scratches.The "fork" ends were covered with removable rubber tops, and that is a very nice touch. Maybe they can remain there or only be used if you want to reduce the chance of denting the wood.I find the tool to be a bit short. I am 1,80 mt tall and would prefer the bar to be maybe 20/ cm longer.Either that or maybe bending the handle the opposite way (towards the fork side) to take more benefit of your strength when pulling. I will try to find an extension - piece of sturdy metal tube that can be attached to the top end of the bar whenever needed.I only tried it on 2 or 3 palette planks yet. (now this palette was one of those where they only use a couple of straight nails on each "connection point", not the type where the tip of the nails is bent inwards and the planks are harder to remove without breaking). So, a bit of force was needed, but nothing too demanding. In fact, after I loosened a bit one of the planks, my (almost) 6 yr son could use the tool easily to "help" me.Suggestions: in the future add the 'nail removal' feature as the model ROU64644 has.Overall satisfied, as I have dismantled pallets using a combination of hammer / crow bar / wooden wedge / and other tools , and using the pallet buster is much much easier and I am sure it will make me sweat a lot less. :)

Very solid build, works well for pulling apart pallets

Very well made with a soft grip handle will come in for lots of different uses.

Made breaking down pallets so much easier. Gives great leverage to lift the slats without splitting them.

Perfect item thanks
