Easiest way to dismantle pallets?

[wannabebulda]

Can someone help whats would be the easiest way to dismantle a pallet I cant afford $90..00 for the tool that yes would work well, ideas are all over youtube but some still need expensive tools that may only be used a couple times

Hmmm I am new to this forum, at least in how to post things, I have one picture that seems to be postable (below) but the other not-so-much for some reason - if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong it would be appreciated.

Anyway, this is as easy as it gets, but in truth I added another section to the handle doubling it's length for extra leverage, but it was joined with a short section of the next size up tube that slipped over both sections with bolt holes so that it could be dismantled to fit in the boot - I would recommend doing that as some pallets need the extra leverage.

Edit: I should add that it doesn't get much simpler than this design, but it works well.

Thanks so much @Bundaboy...
You posted as a link instead of uploading an in-field image, somehow.
Yep, I can see the extra leverage would be helpful if you're trying to rush through a dismantle on site. Archimedes had it right, what he said about the lever.
I reckon I can manage to weld that. If I can't I should probably go belly up, lol.
Now to convince hubby to let me stop for more pallets...

@Bundaboy
When you hit reply there should be a button underneath the text field that says upload images - is that what you did?
And thanks again!

Hi @Bundaboy,

I've moved your post on the Gallery of your pallet breaker to this discussion so it's in context. 

You don't need to go to the Gallery to post photos. As @Former Workshop member advised, just hit the reply button on a discussion thread and you'll have access to the full text editor, which includes the ability to add as many photos as you like to a post by hitting the Upload Images button. 

Hope that helps, please let me know anytime you need a hand getting the most from the site.

Hi Brad.  Thank you SO much for sharing this video!  He does such a good job (AND tidies up at the end! 😂).

I need to break apart alot of pallets and I was dreading it.  But 10 minutes a day I can do!  

Cheers! 😁🙏🏻👏🤗
