## Description

The deluxe pallet buster is a great addition to maintenance and construction facilities. The steel design is robust for daily use and harsh conditions. For best use, place the head of the buster under a plank of the pallet and simply push down on the handle. While the handle moves down, the head will lift up and release the pallet plank.

Review: Very strong, a bit heavy. Fantastic tool. - This bar works great for breaking pallets apart. Handle is solid (not hollow) and because of the mass and length of the handle it seamlessly pops off the cross boards. We’re reusing all materials and we’ve only damaged a few removing them likely because the boards were fatigued to begin with. Super easy to use but a bit on the heavy side, it takes a bit of time to be sure it’s placed properly for the next board section until you get the hang of it. I can’t imagine there is a better similar tool on the market of this quality. THANK YOU. EDIT 2/2024 After months of use, and reading the reviews again I figured I’d do an update. We’re doing our entire basement- walls and ceiling, in pallet wood… so anything that broke a measurable number of the pallet board we would not use. We’ve broken down hundreds of pallets, new and very old… wide boards, narrow boards, repaired pallets, standard runners, oversize runners, hard woods, soft woods… we’ve seen it all. It breaks a few boards, I can almost guess which ones will break by looking at them before I even break the pallet. It will also blow out the nail holes occasionally, doesn’t matter on our project as it adds character to the wood. For those saying the tool is difficult to get between the boards, here is a way I combat that. I take a hammer and nail bar and remove the very end board on the pallet, after that the tool works great. If it wasn’t built as bulky as it is, it would not be reliable. We’ve had quite a few that the boards are very close, that is a simple and effective fix. Just today I broke down about 17 pallets of various size, condition, and board width/length. Out of those 17 pallets the bar damaged about 10 boards I could’ve otherwise used. So it’s what I figure to be 5-7% damage… I can live with that. I could’ve used the hammer and nail bar to save those boards, but the sheer volume we’re using on our project it wasn’t worth it. It generally likes to break boards where knots are present. In another defense of this tool- I salvage some of the runners for other projects and I try to keep them nail free. I’ve noticed on the boards that blow out the nail holes (nails stay in the runners) that even my nail bar will just snap the heads off the nails. When nails are set that hard there isn’t a pallet buster made that’s going to save your wood. The older the pallet and the more aggressive the nails then less likely they’re going to pull out. This tool isn’t made with the idea of us hobbyists using the materials, it’s designed to make pallet wrecking efficient and effective and it does both of those very well. Just so happens some of us have figured out a way to make use of the materials, and as said our project goes on with some damaged planks because it adds character to our project- that’s part of the trials and tribulations of that particular plank of wood. Before I bought this tool I used to use a sawzal between the runner and plank and cut the nails. I was using a Dewalt 20V brushless and Diablo blades (at $5 a copy). One blade would last 3-4 pallets depending upon the hardness of the hardware used to assemble it. So in a weekend I could burn up $20 worth of Diablo blades- gets expensive fast. Not to mention this method is very labor intensive on the hands, leaves shards of metal everywhere, and one would not want a ceiling done in material where nail heads continuously fall out to be stepped on. The pallet buster and manual nail removal has proven to be the most cost effective, comfortable, and cleanest method. Trust me, this is a fantastic tool… I paid full price for it, it was not given to me, and I’m not being compensated for this review.
Review: Heavy-Duty Tool That Makes Pallet Work Easier - The Vestil SKB-DLX Deluxe Steel Pallet Buster is a tough and reliable tool for anyone who regularly needs to break down pallets. Its solid steel construction and 41-inch handle give it the strength and leverage needed to pull apart boards without splintering them. The forked head design fits neatly under deck boards, making removal smoother and less damaging compared to using a crowbar. The long handle provides excellent leverage, which reduces strain and makes the work go faster. It’s built to last and feels sturdy in hand, ideal for warehouse, shop, or home projects that involve reclaimed wood. While it is a heavier tool and may feel bulky for lighter tasks, the durability and efficiency more than make up for it. Pros: The heavy-duty steel build is strong and dependable, the long handle provides great leverage, and the forked design makes pulling boards easier with less damage. Cons: The tool is heavy and not ideal for light jobs, it requires space to maneuver, and it may be overbuilt for occasional users. A strong and well-designed pallet buster that makes dismantling pallets much faster and less tiring. It’s an excellent investment for anyone who reuses wood or needs to break down pallets regularly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the minimum distance between the boards that the tool will fit between?**
A: Just under four inches. The SMALLER the gap between the panels, the more likely it won't fit; in that case, you'll have to start at one end (use something heavy/firm for leverage to get that first board out, then work your way toward the center. Also, some pallets have thicker stringers that this cannot fit onto; so pry bars and hammers might work if the nails are looser to perhaps remove some boards in order to use this tool on the rest.

**Q: Do you ship usps? just thinking about having it shipped to my cabin.**
A: I ship the least expensive means. Most everything I get from Amazon is shipped UPS, and they drop at my Post Office. I am rural, my gate is on a busy highway, and we do not receive at our physical address.

Trying for a better answer to your question, you could probably select it be shipped through the Post Office, and expect to pay a few more $$ for shipping. If I recall, this shipped from an Amazon facility.

**Q: does this product have the nail remover like on the non-deluxe version?**
A: No, but it's the best tool for the job imaginable.

**Q: Has anyone used this on fence panels?**
A: I'm not sure about fence panels, but my brother in law loves the one that I bought him to help him break down pallets to make furniture.  He has a very bad back and this tool does all of the work for him and keeps him from straining his back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Breaking Up is Easy with the Pallet Buster: My Broken Pallet Savior
*by M***. on January 12, 2024*

Forget struggling with flimsy crowbars and splintered wood! The Pallet Buster has become my weapon of choice in the war against broken pallets. This beast tackles them with ruthless efficiency, turning tangled piles of lumber into neat stacks of recyclable goodness. Pry, it does. The sturdy crowbar end slips under stubborn boards with ease, popping them loose like dandelion seeds in a gale. No more contorting myself around awkward angles or cursing as rusted nails resist my meager tools. The Pallet Buster makes quick work of even the most defiant boards, leaving me feeling like a lumberjack in peak season. But wait, there's more! This isn't just a one-trick pony. Those clever leveling forks on the other end are worth their weight in gold (if gold came in steel, that is). They slide under side boards like butter, lifting them effortlessly and allowing you to slide them right off. No more teetering precariously on stacks of broken wood, praying you don't become the next casualty. The real hero, though, is the heavy-duty steel construction. This tool feels indestructible in your hands, built to conquer a lifetime of pallets. No flimsy bends, no cracks under pressure – just pure, unadulterated pallet-busting power. Overall, the Pallet Buster is a must-have for anyone who deals with broken pallets, whether it's at work, at home, or on a quest to reclaim the lumberyard from the tyranny of splintered wood. It's efficient, versatile, and built to last – a true champion in the world of demolition. I give it a solid 10/10, with a bonus fist bump for those genius leveling forks.
