Easiest and best for those of us who can't afford the expensive tools!

Thank you for telling us the treatments and types of pallets. Excellent information

Methyl Bromide treated pallets are actually safe to use. Methyl Bromide has historically been used as a pesticide and even directly applied to produce. It is a gas at room temperature and is sprayed onto items that require treatment. While it is harmful to humans, it does not stick to or contaminate items since it evaporates, rather than lingering or sticking to a treated item. It's use has been significantly reduced cut back by the Montreal Protocol not because of its toxicity, but because of its ozone depleting properties. Just thought I'd share this. Great video by the way!

Hi Steve, one method I've seen is to use a garden fork to dismantle the pallets. Insert the tines of the fork in the gap between boards and straddle the stringers. You lever the fork downwards using the stringer as a fulcrum. For those of us with stiff joints who have difficulty in kneeling down and standing up again 😊👍

I’ve never come across a pallet I can easily dismantle. I’ve tried a half dozen different techniques and while I did consider getting a pallet tool, I find it is far easier to simply use a sawzall and cut through the nails. I also don’t worry about the nail heads that remain as I think it gives the board character.

thank you, good tips, for just a small sludge and 3 blocks.

An ACTUAL useful pallet breaking video! One that gives real information. Thx!

You previously, an Englisher. You are now officially and eternally a denizen in the vast North American garden approching paradise. No charge.

Pallets are awesome things.

I had a real issue with my pallet, it was having none of it. So I just went absolutely booloo at it with a hammer 🤣. Did the trick 👍🏻

You explain and show things really well. Thank you Steve. Those pallets sure can be stubborn.

I use a small one handed circular saw. I go straight up the right hand side, then right hand side of the centre bar then left hand side of the centre bar then finally right hand side of the left hand end. This is for fire wood though.

You make it hard work I have been splitting pallets for 20 years and I have never struggled like you do

Thank you. Today I made 5 seed trays from pallets. I’m surprised how pleased & satisfied I feel about this. Thanks for the inspiration. Karen

Thanks for taking the time to share.

Great video, just what I needed to find easy and simple.

Thanks for the information on the pallets

You can save time by useing a mattock. Leaveing the pallet on the floor. Easier to take apart

Good tips - many thanks! The only thing I would add to the end of your video, is after you sacrifice the little bits on the sides, how to get them out later, this way you can still use all the legs of your palletes.

Another great video, keep it up, really good idea’s
