I like the way the boards come up straight and un-damaged, just right for re-using on other projects. Nice work .... and cheap to make.
You're not just smart, you're clever; and your ingenuity is truly inspiring!
So glad I found you today. I know what I'm going to be binging for a while!!!
I am new to pallet working and you and your video's have made my pallet work much easier. Thanks for the tips and we all appreciate your skill and knowledge.
Nice! Like the tip on the car jack screws - I never thought of that either.
John Heisz Thank you John, Hope it helps. I have put the word out at a few local junk yards. I should be up to my ears in car jacks soon. ha ha
The BEST Of All Woodworking Inventors. As far as I concern, Izzy is always comes with great, yet simple ideas. Thanks to you both. To Izzy for producing these videos and you John for posting them here and making us aware of them.

Ya. I bet izzy you dream of pallets like I dream of pocketholes lol
Excellent, no guff, straight to the point and a pretty decent idea that's adaptable for other uses. Great tip about the scissor jack Acme thread bar.
Although it seems like a relatively slow mechanism, but the concept and idea count, and I respect all people who employ their minds into actually inventing things.
It may be slower but the way it pulls straight up with far less damage makes it overall the better choice since the objective is to reuse the wood.
Sparrow Bachman Thats kinda where I am at to. It does a great job of saving the wood, makes it easier to pull nails and keeps me from jacking up my back any worse.
izzy swan
I use my mini palm nailer when I have a lot of nails to knock back out, you might want to give that a try............it might be easier on your back.
Careful using pallets for fireplaces. Some have preserving chemicals that are not safe to inhale.
No deep breathing with face in chimney, check!
A stroke of genius Mafren. Solved the age-old problem for recyclers......... 11/10
Getting acme screws from a car jack is a great idea!! I'd love to see how exactly it works inside
Thanks for the heads up on the jacks. I plan on making a lift for my lathe and the jacks will be used on each side of the box on rollers for lifting it.
All you guys complaining about the speed are on a completely different page than the rest of us. I am only guessing , but I would say most of us here want maximum yield, not maximum speed. And seriously, just how 'slow' is this thing anyways. So what if it takes an extra 15 minutes to get a pallet apart. The improved yield saves time with fewer pallets needed to be taken apart for anyone project, the straight nails are easier to remove which saves time, so maybe it is the same speed in the end. But still, you are worried about time? This is a hobby, not production. It is way to easy to be negative. (guilty). I LOVE this one.
Your inventions are incredible! Great stuff thank you for sharing!
jimmydiresta Thank you Jimmy mean a ton coming from The King Of Creativity.
Izzy Swan If you are still interested to find a good threading device, go to where they sell scafolds, like those we pile one on top of the other. To level them, there is a huge screw that goes inside the first post on the ground. It is a one inch screw with square thread and it is fitting into a huge wing nut....(I have rebuild an 8 inches vise with these screw and nut!)
I am not a woodworker. I subscribe to your channel because your brilliant and innovative ideas never cease to amaze me. Those car jack threaded rods WILL find a place in my future metalworking projects.
I like the idea of useing Acme Thread and car jacks
I get around town with a bike and trailor hauling home pallets is problematic so harvesting them on site is better and hauling stacked lumber being north of 50 and a bad back this might be the answer
As to power I think a impact driver would help
Have considered useing some bike gears and chain maybe mounting the drill where the added handle is ? That would save a right angle drive problems
Little gear at drive/top end. and big gear at bottom connected by the chain
Right now just torque of the drill motor is pulling the nails
If You multiply the torque with gears You have more power
I think this is a great idea
Definitely NOT anticlimactic! Very entertaining and some useful tips on sourcing parts.
I especially like the slow pull that leaves the nails straight and doesn't put undue pressure on the boards.
I bought the plans for your Pallet Pal, it is awesome!
Now looking to get plans for this...
Subscribed!
Thanks for sharing!
I use a reciprocating saw and cut the nails off. Sometimes its hard to do on tight pallets. This would work great. Thanks Izzy!
I was, to be frank here, a mite skeptical when I subscribed to your channel. UA-cam suggestions can be a bit....lacking at times.
You sir, from this one video ALONE (and there are others) have made me so glad to be a new subscriber. More pallet furnitre videos, please. And Godspeed.
Yo Dude ...People have been fighting with pallets for years. That is the best tool I have ever seen.
Great tip about the threaded rod from car jacks... I must have half a dozen of those in the garage from cars I've scrapped and stripped over the years
Great idea. I'm gonna have to make one asap. Ive been tearing a lot of pallets apart lately. Good thinking with the jack screw. I used one when I made my leg vise. Works great!
You've made me smile. That is a neat gizmo and you deserve gizmo of the year award. Thank you. I look forward to your posted plans for making it.
Very ingenious! Nice to see the 'garage inventor' is alive and well! I'm gonna pass this along to my brother, he'll love your idea.
Yet again you stun the world with a pallet recycling tool that look fun to use. Nice work.
Repaired dozens of broken pallets. But this is incredibly AWESOME!
Brilliant idea! I will be using the jack alone to dismantle my pallets. Thank you for the idea you gave me
That's an amazing idea; I have been using a reciprocating saw with a long wood & metal blade with the attendant problems, but this idea takes the metal out; and if you are careful you could use the nails again. Thanks for showing Izzy, much appreciated.
Having done a fair bit of pallet busting, this may be slow but it’s irresistible. Great idea.
I salvage a lot of wood from pallets so as soon as your plans are up I'm going to build one plus all your other great ideas thank a lot.
Always keen to see a new way to take pallets to task. If pallets were super-villains, Izzy, you'd be James Bond. (Or Q, as it were).
Car Jacks are great. I used the screws out of a couple to make an experimental clamp for doing bent wood laminations. Still have a couple things to work out to get it right though. I like the way you think.
It also helps that I work at a junkyard. Can we say freebies???
Love the re-purposing of the jacks. I am an avid "think outside the box" re-purposer myself....and that is a great one! Kudos!
Uauuu...eres increible...estoy desmontando palets para hacerme una cabaña y es muy complicado!!!..despues de ver tu video me has dado grandes ideas!!!!...muchas gracias...eres un gran tipo!!!..un fuerte abrazo desde España!!!!!👏👏👏👏
Brill....I built a workshop a few years back and clad the whole thing in pallet 'planks'. It worked out really well but boy did I have to over destruct pallets due to the number of split and broken planks. Your idea appears to solve a problem that wasted a lot of time for me. Nice one.
This project is awesome, you really squeeze the potential of tools.
Great contribution!
There's a risk you might be working too hard at not working too hard. I admire your ingenuity. Just the concept of repurposing automotive scissors jacks was worth the watch. A boat load of projects makes your tool a nonstarter for me. If I ever start a business making furniture from pallets, it will be on top of my to do list. Don't forget to grease the works regularly.
Never know what to expect when I stop by your channel. Great idea.
I think this is great. I find pulling pallets apart so tedious. Awesome idea and enjoyed the video! Thanks.
No surprise you came up with this Izzy, nice one.
ingenious idea. I struggled for nearly 2 hrs breaking down an 8'x4' pallet in my living room, using hammer,screwdriver,chisel and a gallon of sweat!!!! I had no vice to hold it fast, it was a struggle of epic proportions. This tooling would've saved me a lot of effing and blinding LOL
I can't believe you did not put a video showing me how to build that cool little Drill Powered Dismantling Tool for taking pallets apart...
no money that way.
Oh boy... I'm disappointed.
plus the logic behind it is pretty simple...i dont see a patent....
Nice design. Can probably apply this to other mechanical creations. I enjoy your videos Izzy.
Super nice invention and video! I was looking at your loose planks with the nails sticking out. And I thought, if you get a metal pipe and you put a piece of rebar of the same length in it. And you attach a piece of wood that fits in your handy hands. Then you can put the nail in the pipe and you can hammer it out with the rebar. Great greetings Eke
It's the hard work and great ideas you've put into this. Nicely done
I like how it takes the boards apart in a way that they're still usable.
wow! I took apart a pallet for my wife. it was very difficult. It was for cement, lol. I wish I had this tool. well done.
This is an amazing invention. I know you said its a really simple design, but for those of us without your engineering ability, are you going to provide plans to build this through your website?
I like your intuitiveness in designing this device.
I used a palm nailer to push the nails out of the pallet boards. had to put a metal plug with a hex key indent to prevent the nail points from jamming the piston.
izzy
That's a great tool for this task and you mentioned the car jack which you can use also the same without taking the screw out.
Some of these jacks are coming with a hex head on it and just mount a hex socket on your drill and you're "home", don't need the whole drill contraption thing (I think)...
Best :-)
What a pearler! It currently takes me around 45 minutes to carefully prize apart a pallet in good enough condition to repurpose the timber, and the effort involved is way too high for the result. This looks amazing!
One of the better tools I've seen on the net
It would be cool to try one from a large bore pneumatic cylinder with reversing switch for a faster process. I realize it would cost more but they aren't that hard to come by in a junk yard either and they would be much faster. Just a thought. Great idea on the threaded rod! Cleaner than a pry bar.
I actually came up with a very similar idea, using a scissors jack. But instead of a drill, I use an impact driver (air driven) which is better able to handle the load. Thanks for sharing.
Certainly for those with bad backs this would be an advantage over the manual version, and the fact that there is even steady upward pressure seems as you say, to get a better rate of unbroken boards, but with the number of pallets out there...
However thanks Izzy for the idea of car jacks, I have been trying to think how to obtain the threading for a decent vise, how I just have to find the jacks... Scrap yards! I don't think the cars here are ever put off the road...lol
With the amount of time it takes me to pull a pallet apart this would be wonderful. I work hard enough at my place that this would be a true pleasure to use. Love the idea. And the threaded rod... now, that's a boon. I want to do a vise like you, Phil, for planing boards. I know just where to find those jack's, too!
Phil Sale I dont think they do either. lol
The pure genius of this tool is awesome!
Great idea!! would love to see when you have a plan of this posted!!
Totally intelligent..and ingenious! NO comparison! it's much better than passing "an eternity!!" to dismantle pallets "Or NOt!" with a hammer or a miserable crowbar
Best pallet dismantling tool I've seen!
Wow that is so awesome.
I have been watching your videos over the past few weeks, as my wife and I have been trying to make furniture out of of pallet wood. I currently have, a circular saw, a drill, an electric planer, hand planer, and orbital sander, a belt sander, and a collection of hand tools. I do not have a joiner, and I think I will be able to afford one for some time. I would love to see if there is a Jig, or something that I can make that can help me make every board the same thickness. Thank to you I can cut straight and after trying and failing at that for some time I happy to be able to do it now. Great videos Keep up the awesome work
You did it again!! Really like it!! Necessity is the mother of all inventions! !
I was getting old skids and taking the nails out manually. Very tiring for an old man. Where was this video when I needed it? lol I just may have to go to the j yard, 3/4 miles from my home and make one of these contraptions. You should add assembly to this so we all know how to put it together and what accessories we need. Thanks.
You definitely make the tools work for you. Very innovative.
I gave up on pallets simply due to the labor of simply dismantling them and then worrying about nails. This solves both problems for me!
Izzy, this is awesome...but then so was the foot action one you built. Which one is better? I need to build one.
Sweet idea! Beats my crowbar, 3lb hammer and steel toe boot method.
Mr. Swan, you're a friggin' genius. That is all...
Just a thought here. You can get some of those jacks to fold down low enough to fit inbetween the runners. Why not use the jack with an air ratchet instead of a hard to build contraption?
Great idea for improving the pallet pal. You gave me a couple ideas for using jacks! Thanks.
MRrwmac Awesome, glad it gave you some ideas.
Very nice, I will make one soon as I am back to work. Thanks izzy
Thumbs up all the way from Portugal. Another great idea from Izzy!
I didn't read all the comments, and maybe i am repating someone elses coment, but here it goes;
Can it be upgraded for double side lifter? i mean to lift 2 boards each time. Would be much faster, although not all drills could keep up with it!
Awesome, the idea of using car jacks is certainly 'lateral thinking', I can use those threads on an idea I have been mulling over. Fantastic content as usual!
Great design. I've broken many of my hammer dismantling pallet.
A hard job made easy by your thoughts. Congratulations well done
Another great "light bulb" moment Izzy :)
Take care
Mike
Mike Waldt Thank you Mike..
Very cool izzy swan Is a big improvement how it pulls up square to the pallet board, great idea.
Man I watch your videos all the time I learn alot from you. You have helped me in setting up my small at home shop thankyou. Keep up the cool stuff
VERY COOL. The best I've seen yet.
Great device, it's not really slow when I consider the agony of taking them apart with hammers and pry bars etc. Way to go.
You say your pallets plank remover has misgivings,...well it works nicely anyway..good work, Izzy.
bloody good idea mate ...i just finished making a pallet buster manual lever type which works well but i made to heavy (overkill) yours is great idea ..one i never saw before ...best regards mate
I just found your "$50 workshop" today. You, sir, are an evil Genius. I love the humor you bring. Keep it up.
You also inspired me to clean out the garage and start building. Where/how do you sell
your stuff?
Thanks bud, hope your back is better
Patent this idea as quickly as possible. This is a great idea and could be quite profitable if you market it or sell the idea.
I liked it pretty nifty I dont know what type of screw he used but i think if he used a 4 flute acme thread it would move a lot faster
This is why I subscribe to your channel...the "outside of the box" thinking that you use to solve problems. I never know what to expect when I come here, but I know it will be well thought-out and implemented. BTW: I hope that your back is doing better now.
Cool tool. I just so happen to have some acme threaded rod kickin around too.
Pretty cool, power tool's are always fun(insert Tim the tool man grunt's here) but I think you pallet pal is much more practical. keep up the good work.
Izzy - You're a legend! Love this one , and especially your yellow manual bar tool
Great !
Non capisco quello che dici, ma ciò che vedo è un'ottima idea, originale. Bravo!!!!!
BRILLIANT MATE! Awesome ingenuity!
Small honda jack or toyota fit inside the palet and just use a long. Extention with a drill or impact driver and you have same result with out any build or mods
I like how you can use it standing up.
Acme..famous company used by Coyotes
man that's genius! I'm doing a pallet sofa and dismantling the pallets by hand is a headache! especially when it comes to separating the square blocks themselves
I picked up an electric impact from the Chinese tool store for $30 once. That thing would make it very fast and have plenty of torque.
Ok... the next project I would like to see is "how to build a pallet"...... everyone knows how to take them apart but I can't find a video to build one!!! haha Great as always and love the idea of the car jack for the threaded rod.
any way to just attach an open L type bracket to the top of the jack that way you can just set the jack on top of the pallet, hook under the board, and direct drive the jack with a universal joint socket and extension rod. i was just thinking how to eliminate some of the stuff youd have to "engineer" :) Good vid on trying new things and sometimes you just cant beat a muscle powered hand tool for pure efficiency.
Dude! Everyone has a million dollar idea... I hope this is yours.
Brilliant idea. I have a mountain of pallets. I am going to make me one of those.
