You have an impressive stack of "free" wood. I hope to follow your footsteps and utilize pallet wood to build a shed, a small garage, and eventually cabin.

I love my air locker. If you de nail pallets with any degree of regularity, you should have one. You won't regret it!!!

Sounds like it’s hemorrhaging air

I think this has been raised before. For lower volumes of work would not a steel tube with a hammering inner pin do the trick? Could have an offset handle to position the tube over the nail.

Now why didn’t I think of that :) Great video. Thanks

AN AIR CHISEL DOES THE SAME JOB, BUT NOISIER. I'VE USED ONE FOR THAT

how satisfying..

Good video.

This is the easy bit, boards already taken apart and all the nails nice and straight, that's a minute's work with a claw hammer to drive them back and lever out! Nice gadget but I wouldn't pay for it unless building a whole shed etc with pallet wood like you are.

I need one where the striker come out of nozzle to push head of nail through instead of hitting tip to push head out other side.

I managed a pallet and crate shop. For 3/4" wood pallets we used coated screw shanks in air guns. They are impossible to remove.

Try using sand instead of water

To pull the pallets apart, you need to bend the tips of the nails straight. You then have to dig the head out, so you can pull it a[art. By just trying to pull it apart, you destroy the wood. The pallets we get are very wierdly manufactured.

This is awesome! I built my workshop and lined the inside with pallet wood....I make other things also. This is just what I need!!! Thanks so much for posting this 😀😀😀

Help me nothing. The pallets I get,, I need something that can grab the head from 5 mm inside the wood and yank it out, because it is bent 5 mm inside the other wood.

Reminds me of the time we couldn’t get a certain coil nail for out Bostich N80C so we found the correct non collated nail, started them with a hammer, and then dropped the empty nail gun down over them and pulled the trigger. Bam! Already have plenty of hammers!

Cool, time is money!

Do you reuse the nails? Thank you.

What will they think of next. Wish I would have had one of those a long time ago.

How well does it work with deck screws, 2" or 3" #8 or #10s?

That’s a great tool

Cool tool I haven't seen before, would be interesting to see how well it works on hardwood pallets and/or twist shank nails. Some of the comments here are a little disappointing, so thanks for your video and patience with replying to many of the comments

buddy you should wear hearing protection too

I just checked Google for a supplier. The unit was $99 Australian, but the kicker $69. for delivery. Hmm? They must be sending it by chopper straight to my home

You'd be a good person to ask: Why dont routers and circular saws have metal detectors so they stop (or at least beep) while cutting wood with embedded metal?

There is an important O-ring on bottom of the demister than can easily get dropped or misaligned. It should be watched carefully when screwing it back on.

I think (and my Momma always said I was "A very smart boy") That making the barrel end slightly flared (funnel shape) you would make it easier to quick fit over the nails. Noticed several "misses" that had to be re-centered. Flair shape would guide even a near miss into the barrel to be struck.

That is a game changer. Easy nail remover? Yeah baby. Ty

Love it! What a timesaver, that thing is awesome!

Yeah the Guineas can be aggressive and territorial, once they’ve “outlived there usefulness” not that they aren’t beautiful birds, it’s probably in the keepers best interest to butcher the bird and process it for meat 🥩 it’s the circle of life y’all did a great job and kept your heads up, and earned a subscriber!

Great way to repurpose wood. Thanks for that (came from the air nail remover gun vid.)

I'm an older guy and never heard of this. Don't need one but certainly WANT ONE :-)))

What I want to know is how you get staples out of pallet plywood , without damaging both sides of the plywood

All life is a succesion of organisms-a concept which is ez to intellectualize but difficult to execute. But you guys have the right attitude about it! It's never ez and thoughtless nor should it be! Best wishes fellow travelers. ❤

I found out about this tool years ago and bought one. great tool

Those things are awesome. They'll sorta work on staples too. I had a bunch of cedar fencing stapled on, i was able to pull most off without damage, but the staples still in the board. That tool would pop them back far enough to get ahold of them with a pair of pliers and in some instances popped the staple out too.

I think the most tedious part is breaking down the pallet

Thanks awesome idea

What about removing nails that head is exposed but drive point is hidden inside f nice oak bard lumber, valuable 2x 8 or larger. I want to salvage and plane old surface back to new color, so nails have to go! No pointy nail ends showing! Is there an equivalent air nail puller from head end of nail?.

Thank you. That's useful info.

and so now if they only made one of those that somehow easily removed steel jacket bullets from telephone poles that I bought and using to build a 24'x50' pole barn

Ha Ha .... I bet it failed at 03:00))))

What size tubes you use

I get it. But the hard part is getting that board off the rest of the pallet first. Tips on that would be more useful

How did you remove the shavings from your drilling.

What's a nail? I haven't used them In 40yrs cause I remodel everything yearly. Your gonna put your eye out w that young man!

I love Oak and Poplar wood, not so much pine! My Milwaukee Sawzall blades are 12" long that cuts nails easily! I run my blade right down the back of the board which leaves the nails. So, next, I turn the board over and punch out the nails with a nail set (might want to wear gloves and safety glasses before your project). I save these nails, if I use the boards for a decorative purpose and reset them back in the hole's w/ adhesive! (Mineral Spirits will help with any cleanups on your boards) Liquid nail has a nice yellowish color and is good to fill the cracks, how boards sit next to each other! Some folks love the old rusty nails showing. The boards, I lightly sand to keep the beautiful grain look. There are endless projects pallet wood can be used for, especially the 3 rails that hold the boards together before sawzalling them off. 2 or 3 coats, and sand lightly with 220 grit sandpaper between coats, use Mineral Spirits to wipe off dust after sanding each coat, then recoat, till you like it! Water base polyurethane/ or Premium oil, minwax, fast drying, Polyurethane! Water Base has no toxic smell, like oil premium...Good Luck

I have the 55 Gallon Barrel, but in blue. I wonder how heavy it is when loaded with water. I guess that shelf that you have the barrel on would have to be reinforced with all the heavy water in the barrel. Great trick with the string.

Where do you find such clean and brand new packets? The only ones I find are really beat up. Also, the nails used in 99% of the pallets I find are the twist-type nails; extremely difficult to remove. Would that gun work on those?

thats cool
