For all you pallet warriors

I thought about getting one of those at one time, after seeing it on “Cool Tools”, but the wife brought me to my senses when she told me it would severely cut into my beer budget for at least a year.

Harbor Freight will have a knock-off version soon.

I don’t know about the knock-off. I bet that thing is patented for a full 17 years as a nail remover. In the Navy we had something similar, called it a pin gun for taking rivets out of steel walls. Had a hell of a kick. Hog packing plants use the same thing, one pull and the pin goes into the back of the brain then retracts, hog is ready for the butchers, no pain for the hog, no mess. Way cheaper than the old way of a 22 cal. in the back of the head.
(That was probably too much info, eh’?)
What a great tool. I take home oak pallets, (big ones), that we get in here at my day job working sales for a mechanical contractor. Plan on taking home a really nice 10 foot 4X4 solid oak beam today that a trucker left behind. But the last time I had to remove nails with a prybar, I lost some heads so some of the wood was lost, and I was drenched in sweat here in SE Tennessee for maybe $15 worth of lumber.

Did you ever try to burn the nails out with an arc welder?
I saw someone doing that, it worked.
