Roughneck pallet buster demolition bar from Screwfix. User reviewed and demonstrated. 

Hi mate. Thanks so much for this! You’ve just sold another one 😂😂 (you should add an affiliate link in the description for these)

I like how you chose the most difficult type of pallet to demonstrate on. Thanks.

Thank you for this video, I just bought one of these tools but wasn't sure on the best way to go about using it correctly ( preserving the actual timber struts intact ) so this guide to breaking a pallet up was really useful for me. Really practical guide!

Thanks so much for doing this video. I hadn't thought of using a brick as leverage when taking out wider planks.

Thank you for a true and honest opinion on the pallet breaker. I have a fair number to breakdown so I can clad the inside of a shed.

THE best review of the roughneck pallet pry bar. I have taken apart a few pallets now, and for the time used, and wood gained, it can be sometimes just as cheap to buy new. I have clients that love recycled wood though, so need to keep things cost effective. I appreciated that you picked a tricky pallet to do the demonstration. Gonna go and collect some pallets and get me that Roughneck from Toolstation/Screwfix

thanks for the video. Ive got 13 pallets to dismantle, and waiting for this exact buster to be delivered. Glad to see how doable this job is.

Positioning your feet and gaining the perfect weight distribution for torque is key to using the tool most effectively

Best video I've seen on using the rough neck pallet buster. Thank you.

Wonderful video, can't wait to try my new pallet buster, thank you

Excellent review. Today (1 April 2023), I bought the Roughneck 17lb Post-Hole Digger, but their pallet buster is next on my list for digging and general demolition work on my property. Voted & Sub'd.

Thanks for sharing. I just picked up one of these from Screwfix this morning :)

Just got same one few days ago .i think its longer one, 15 quid secound but as new! Tried couple pallets , split half the wood! Will try your method of taking bottom braces off first. Its very satisfying using pallet wood , ive clad inside of my shed with sanded pallet wood looks great.and we got 18 pallets for free, ! Great instructional video , thank you.

Just bought one so was interested in this video. Some helpful tips, particularly the mallet. Thanks.

Love your honesty,will be buying one this weekend

Bought one of these and could not find the easy way--thanks to your video I now use a small brick and it easy--Im a short lady so this tool is great

Will definitely buy one on your recommendation, great video , wood is so expensive why see it go to waste, I shall be using work gloves when handling pallet wood 👍

Great review and you gave this with a difficult pallet so well done. Thank you

As a pallet builder I recommend you wet them before dismantling it makes things much easier and harder for the wood to breakdown

Thank you for this. Housemate brought home a load of pallets and is labouring under tye impression that no space or tools are required. Ah yes. The joys of living with office workers.

Oh my god your a bloody life saver. Am heading to screwfix now to buy one Thank you

I bought this before seeing this video and thought I'd check it out.... you sir are informative and helpful, thank you very much!

Just ordered one cheers man

Thank you sir, I got mine today from tool station, this video really helped, a like, a comment and a subscription.

Thanks. Just tried a new pallet same shape as that and split 2 planks so I stopped. You explained this very well so I'll go back to the garage and have another go ! Cheers. Jim

Thanks for the review. I will get one tomorrow.

I've picked up some pallets from a company called Selco, a big trades only company. These places always want to get rid of pallets as they have to pay for them. I picked up a bunch of 2-way pallets. Outer wood is 750mm width 300mm thickness. Inner wood sections 750mm width 450mm thickness. Wood seems solid, I've split two of the four pieces as I was using a pry bar and hammer, I've ordered one of these for tomorrow collection. I saw someone using it on pallets that looked exactly like the ones I have. Hoping the work will go from 5-10 minutes per slat to 30s-1m per slat, meaning I break a pallet down in around five minutes.

Just got one last night . Thanks for the video and the tips 👍

Love the tip of using that brick for height and leverage.

I can see a need for that... good job mate 👊🏼

Proper test for tool👍👍👍👍

I jist bought one and I thank you!

I've just bought one and destroyed a pallet damaging all but 2 planks... But now I've seen how it's done I'm sure the next one will be fine 👍

Wood metal blade in reciprocating saw. Cut between slats and blocks. Centre punch nails out.

Lots of comments here.. I just fell upon this video.... R there people out there who spend time doing this?

Your next purchase needs to be an Air Locker !

Good vid thanks

I've just bought one & don't know how I managed before without one.

I'm a female gardener getting into doing some garden DIY using pallets, and this video is so helpful and encouraging! Thank you very much. I have a brand new pallet buster and a couple of pallets which I will shortly be attacking. Can you recommend a good way of removing the nails? In any case, many thanks for the helpful video!

I was going to buy one today I’m so thankful I watched this first they are useless

Good job , you made short work of that pallet .

Why didn’t you put a spacer piece underneath the tool that fits between the teeth of the tool… A few different spacer blocks of wood and there would be less stress on the valuable lumber

That last part could have tapped out the nails

Hello, what is the distance between the jaws, is 4 inch or 100mm fitting between the jaws?

Hope you don't have too many to do. Life is passing you by mate...........

thanks for that :)

Hi! Got a question unrelated to pallets if you are willing to help out. I’m posting it here since it’s the latest video. Is there a video where you recommend certain brand or a link for chisels and hand tools in general? Since you upload a lot of videos, it would take me a while to find it. Love the gecko carving video btw!

That was seven minutes from beginning to end of the knockdown. Eleven mallet blows to open the last joint. And I lost count of the number of times that you bent over to ground level. I'll need to think for a bit before rushing out to Screwfix.

Local waste company has mountains of pallets they turn into chips. Would love to get one of these and save some good wood

Great demo. How do you get the long nails out of the wood?

Looks like hard work?

Pallets are a son of a bitch to demolish while trying to keep all of the slats intact! It took 3 me 3 hours to break one apart using just a hammer and my roughneck utility bar, because the idiot pallet makers hammered the tip of the nails flat against the timber on the other side, and they'd since rusted... I'm getting myself one of these...

Shit product if you need a brick

Doing it completely wrong fella
