Nail Kicker Denailer (V20-50)

Well built. Spoke w/ company owner, he answered the phone and spent 15 minutes speaking with me prior to buying. Works great! Adjust setting so it only extends punch as far as needed to eject nails. I was destroying wood, so I messed with adjustment of punch and now the entire tops deck pieces are preserved. I set it to punch about 1/3 the way into the top deck wood.pallet dismantling:after a day trying to find the easiest, most time efficient, and workable way to do this I have settled on a technique I like so far (it may change as I get more days into this).1. I "sawsall" (reciprocating saw) all nails between boards on all pallets. I have a 12" crowbar in back pocket as I go. I stack these boards on saw horses.2. I stand in front of a full size trash can (fits my height well), I have some trash in it (kitchen trash, dirt or sand, carpet chucks... or ?), something to absorb the ejected nail so it doesn't ricochet back up or damage the bottom of the trash can.3. I always have the small crow bar (that came with unit) in back pocket or tool belt, as it's used to pry Nail Kicker up when punch gets stuck in wood (if adjusted properly this rarely happens; if it's punching out to far it will tend to get stuck - either way it's very simple to pry the unit out)4. I hold the top deck pallets boards on the edge of the trash can, I have the sawed off nails facing upward so I can see them. I allow the edge with the nails to hang over the trash can and WHAMMO on each nail.5. I move the pallet board forward to allow the halfway point (with cut off nails) to hang over the edge and repeat.6. I swing the board around over trash can and do the same for last set of nails on other end.7. Since I plan on planing the boards (for a smooth look), I CHECK CAREFULLY for any other nails or random staples; as metal will chip to edge of a planer. You'll get a sense of which pallets have extra nails, etc. just give it a good final look over.

Très efficace!

We were taking down some old buildings on a farm site. We managed to save the wood without have to take nails out at a later time, and this allowed us to not have the wood splinter. Definitely worth the money!

This thing is amazing. Turned a month long tadk of pulling nails into a fun 4 day task and i filled a large trash can over half full of nails. Worth every penny spent. If you repurposr wood you need this tool.

not fullfilled our expectations. it is not practical..at least not suitable for pallet diclaiming factories ..you shoud use exfra tools in order to denail so it creates ineffiency..great disappointment..

Works great and lasting good. This is an update for what I was using it for. I used it to punch existing nails through 24 gauge corrugated metal. The old nail heads kept popping of with a nailed puller so I bought this to just drive them through the metal instead of pulling them. It worked great. Took 3 hits to do it in the field and 5 to 6 hits on the laps. Once you get use to it, it goes very quick. The gun lasted through the whole project of 1,200 squares of metal, oiling it twice a day.

I love this thing! I saw it a couple of years ago in a book on re-purposing houses and lumber, and I knew I had to have one. This past Summer, I replaced the deck boards on four decks of a Condo, so I could finally justify buying it. We used a Deck Wrecker tool to pull the boards up, and that left most of the deck screws sticking out the bottom of the deck boards. I can now use the Nail Kicker to remove the screws from the boards and have nice wood to use for something else. I sometimes have to pull the trigger more than once, since the screws' threads make it harder to remove them. When I use it on nails, it works better...

Very good denailer, has adjustable depth control. Fairly expensive, but a quality product.
