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

My husband was happy with this. He had donation of 20 pallets to make rustic planters. He spent less than an hour dismantling them and stacking all the planks. Now he just needs to make the planters. I’m sure he’ll get round to it. He did say he prefers the demolition side of things and was looking for more jobs to use this on. He said it was sturdy and well made. He can be heavy handed but found this stood up to his treatment of use. It really did make short work of dismantling old pallets without breaking them. Well worth it.

GOOD WRECKING TOOL, TENDS TO BREAK THE TIMBER, PULLING NAILS THROUGH THE WOOD. THIS IS BECAUSE THE PALLETS ARE ASSEMBLED WITH SPECIAL NAILS, NOT INTENDED TO BE PULLED APART. THE WIFE USES IT WITH EASE.

Very sturdy and a quality product

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. :)

Had a garden job breaking up old concrete path by myself and a SDS breaker. This was a God send to help lift up the broken slabs. Amazing tool. Sure it could be used for lots of other things. Solid too.

I just love this pallet breaker

I needed to replace 46 decking planks (4.8m long) which had been nailed down some 15 years ago. The timber bearers were starting to rot and the planks had seen better days. As such, the whole lot was needing to be ripped up as painlessly as possible - none of it needed saving for re-use. I did a couple of planks with a 3' crowbar, but it was slow going as the angles were wrong for leverage. When I was starting the main bit of the job I researched and found these demolition bars. For twenty quid it was worth a shout. The tool makes lifting nailed planks easy - the first one takes the longest if they are closely spaced, but once you can get to an 'open' edge, you can whip through them with minimal effort. The length, weight and balance seems ideal for the purpose..... well worth the money! I knocked down 1 star for versatility as the only real thing it could do with is a built-in nail bar - many of the planks left the old nails in the bearers as they pulled through, so needed to be removed as I was walking along the bearers to get to the next plank (decking was at upper floor level, supported on steels). Not a major problem, but after moving each plank i had to swap tools to a nail bar to get the nails out.

Bought for my brother. He said it was perfect for the job he was doing.

Super produit rien à dire de plus

Product does a fine job taking apart pallets without damaging so much of the wood (when compared to using the old crowbar/hammer method). Had to order it from the UK (I live in the US) so took almost 2 months to arrive plus, on the initial arrival date, we received a message basically stating, "Eh, supplier didn't have one to send....suddenly....you still want to wait or cancel your order?" Wasn't super pleased with that but, whatever.

Ho preso quest'attrezzo per mio padre, che si ostinava a spaccare i pallet con un attrezzo costruito da lui stesso, ma contro il quale inveiva ogni volta che lo usava. E' stato molto contento del regalo, lo trova comodo e lo sta utilizzando per demolire la sua catasta di pallet (ormai pensavo li collezionasse...). Forse è un pochino corto per essere utilizzato da un uomo, infatti il manico misura meno di un metro e lo costringe a lavorare piegato, però l'impugnatura è ergonomica e comoda, e vedo che sta risparmiando tempo ed energie. L'oggetto è ben fatto, rifinito bene e robusto, pare destinato a svolgere la sua funzione per lungo tempo. Il prezzo è decisamente abbordabile e vale la pena comprarlo se si hanno cataste di pallet da smontare.

Pomocny przy rozbieraniu palet. Faktycznie mógłby być nieco szerszy rozstaw. Przy szerszych deskach trzeba kombinować, aby rozebrać paletę. I dla wyższej osoby za krótki trzonek, o jakieś chociaż 10cm

Como digo en el título de la opinión, nunca antes fue tan fácil desmontar los palets de madera como con esta palanca de encofrador. Antes de nada he de decir que hace años que vengo desmontando palets para usar su madera en usos diversos. Tradicionalmente utilizaba 2 mazas, 2 cuñas, una palanca grande tipo pata de cabra, y una uña extractora de clavos. Pues bien, desde que tengo esta palanca de encofrador, sólamente utilizo la palanca y la uña extractora de clavos. Nada más. Su utilización es bien sencilla: La palanca se apoya en las traviesas verticales de los palets, metiendo las dos uñas bajo la tabla que se va a desanclar de la traviesa (hay que poner el pie en el otro extremo del palet, para evitar que este se levante por el efecto palanca), después se hace palanca y la tabla superior salta de manera inmediata. Esta herramienta te permite desmontar los palets sin esfuerzo, sin destrozarlos, y sobre todo de manera muy rápida; disponiendo así de una fuente de madera muy barata y 100% reciclada. Yo hago muchas manualidades con esta madera, utilizándola para infinidad de cosas. Si eres aficionado al bricolaje con madera reutilizada de palets, no lo dudes, esta es tu herramienta. La recomiendo. Yo pagué 29 € por ella y tardó 4 días en llegar. Espero que esta opinión haya resultado de ayuda para tí, comprar informado es comprar mucho mejor.
