How To Pallet Buster
Hey guys on this weeks edition of BS with AJ I show you how I made a Pallet Buster! Its a really handy tool that makes tearing down pallets easier and faster! You can buy these online and Ill add a link below where you can buy one if you don't have the means to build one yourself.
Pallet Buster: amzn.to/2CtxG3V
Tools/ Material used:
Flux core welder - amzn.to/2S0lMnr
Slag Hammer - amzn.to/2CV7fW4
Auto Darkening Welding Hood - amzn.to/2pZqFQW
Wire Brush - amzn.to/2CtziKY
1 1/2 square tubing - amzn.to/2S2wIkr
2 x 2 angle - amzn.to/2CtyjKP
Grinder - amzn.to/2PKE4HS
Cut off Wheels - amzn.to/2q1gJX6
Sanding Disk - amzn.to/2CVEkkF
Welding Gloves - amzn.to/2pZRpRd
Face Shield - amzn.to/2R4Ab0R
safety glasses - amzn.to/2yp8h8G
Compound square - amzn.to/2S0qJg1
The first step was to get the material needed. I used 2 inch angle and 1 1/2 inch square tubing because that's the material I had available, these sizes are not required, just use what ever you have. Next I cut a piece of square tubing to 7 1/2 inches and cut two pieces of angle to 7 inches. these pieces would make up the head of my pallet buster. Now I set my angles facing inward and and set the piece of tubing inside the angles flush with one side, then I marked where the tubing came to on the angle. Next I cut the two angle pieces as shown in the video leaving a square piece on the one side slightly larger than the square tubing, this will allow us to weld all around the square tubing giving it lots of strengthen.
Next I used the sanding disk/ flapper wheel, which ever you decide to call it, and I sanded down all the sharp edges and cleaned up all the areas I would be welding. Now the welding process began, I set the square tubing in place between the two angles making sure it had an even gap between the angles all the way between them. Then I tacked it all in place. If using a flux core welder be sure to knock all the slag off and use a wire brush to clean the weld each time before you weld over it. Its easier to weld going down hill or flat which is why you see me continually move the piece I was welding. I made sure to do a good root weld ( the first pass) and then I came back over each weld a second time to be sure it had plenty of strength.
Once the head was all welded up it was time to use the sander to remove any spatter and to clean off the rest of the paint so I could weld the handle on. Now it was time to work on the handle. Instead of welding the handle on at a 90 degree angle I decided to weld it at a 45 degree angle. To do this I had to cut a notch in the tubing, I used a compound square to mark two 45 degree angles making a triangle and cut them out of two opposite sides. Then I cleaned up the edges and sanded off the paint so I could weld it together.
I marked the center of the Head of the pallet buster and held it in place while I put a tack weld on it, Then I flipped it over and put a few more tacks on it before I welded it solid. Next I went around and welded the handle into place being sure to put a good root weld and then coming back over for a second pass. After its all welded up I let it cool and then tested it out! And it worked great! Afterwards I wend ahead and painted it all yellow, mainly because that was the color of the handle already lol.

Great job AJ! I always look forward to your videos.
Thank You! I'm glad you ejoyed it!
Gday AJ
I looked at all the designs on TH-cam and yours is by far the best
Love how you made out of scrap
Subscribed now got a fan for life
Cheers
Rob 🇦🇺
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video and I hope you end up making one for yourself! Thanks for the support!
Hey, just found your TH-cam video just subscribed great video just made this exact 1. Thanks so much, i started busting out pallets in no time. My 5yo grandson helped & loved it. Now i need to make 1 his size😂😂😂
I am glad I could help!
Very nice job! I think I will have my nephew make me one. Love using pallet wood!
Its definitely one of the cheapest sources of wood
Nice job...I have seen a few on here ,but this one seems to be the best so far....it looks very powerful . Wish I had all the tools to make it myself....especially the welding part. Thank you for the nice demo.
Yea it definently helps to have the tools. But you can always buy a pallet buster on Amazon, there is a link in the description of the video. Next best thing to making one yourself.
I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment!
I saw different designs (videos) and i like yours. Looks simple and it works.
I'll built it!
Thanks for share it.
I'm glad you liked the video! Let me know how it comes out! Thank you for the comment!
i used old truck leaf spring to make a pallet tool...which at first worked wonderfully then "Ting" the leaf spring snapped right near the weld, I re-welded and re-enforced... once i came near a hard pallet, it snapped the steel spring again,,, so this time going to use thicker steel, I aready have a quad bar wrecking tool which works wonderfully, but it breaks a lot of the wider pallet slats. it also is short whih causes back strain... it has a nail remover built in which is Funderfull
Any pallet pry bar that works and gets the job done gets my vote. 👍
Amen to that! I did one by hand and decided I needed to build something to make it go faster lol
Build Stuff with AJ ..the only issue with pallets here in Australia is a lot are made out of pine and rubbish wood so a lot ends up being kindling fire wood in winter , the boards that are good make some handy garden beds,work benches, and heaps more so I love the pallet pry bar it beats the hammer and jimmy bar any day .👍
@@fishmut year slot of the pallets I come across are made from the same rubbish wood. Every now and again I come across a hardwood. But not too often
the best option for making a device. Greetings from Russia!!!
I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you for the comment! I'm glad to know my video has helped someone from across the world, Greetings from USA!
I’m building mine tomorrow! Thanks! Great video
Awesome let me know how it goes!
I used 1” square tubing and it works great!
Great video mate, keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for the comment!
I’m in the shed in the morning I’ve got the scrap hanging round thanks for this video
I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you for the comment!
great job AJ. I haven't built one yet, but it is on my list!
They are really handy! This is the first one I've used and it only took 5-6 mins to tear that pallet apart. The last one I tore down took about 30 or more mins and alot of the boards split.

@@BuildStuffwithAJ qaaaaaaaaaaaaaÁ
Amazing job
Thank you!

Simpler is better !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👏
your design is better i like it goodjob
I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for the comment!
It's a beast pallets will be bricking it.
Yes sir it's a beast! Let me know how your build goes
You’ll get tons of use out of that, I had to reinforce mine but it’s all cool now, great video buddy 🍻👍👍👍👍
I've already got my next couple projects lined up! I love the idea of free wood, and this pallet buster makes it a lot easier to break them down!
Super nářadí, kdyby se to tak dal koupit v Čechách
exelente !!
Very nice
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video!
I enjoyed watching the project but could not overlook the fact that you were using your Craftsman Table saw for a welding table.
Wow- what kind of a man would do that?
Hahah, The kind who doesnt have another table that isn't made of wood lol.
Awesome video. Wish I had one of those, but I don’t do metal work. Can I buy yours?
Sorry mine isn't for sale but it's definitely heavy duty lol
How thick is the angle iron?
its been a while since i used it, but i think its 1/8" thick
Dimensions and metal thickness please. Can yours withstand the tough near hardwood pallet ?
All the dimensions are in the description of the video as well as links to the tools and materials you can use. And yes I have broken apart a lot of hard wood pallets
Did you use a mig welder or a flux core that bill nice work
It was a flux core welder I used, I would much rather have a good mig set up though. They do a lot better!
Hey are you sheet metal worker i seen the logo on your shirt . I used to work for local in the state of Michigan
Yes sir I am, local 110 in Kentucky
How many hours did it take to that tool? Thanks
Honestly it didn't take very long, but I work with metal every day so that makes a difference. It might have taken me 2 maybe 3 hours. It Honestly took longer for the paint to dry than it did to build it lol
Ok. Nota 10
The only issue is that I see is the 45 degree angle handle. It will make you bend over more when prying. Perhaps, a 22.5 or 15 degree angle would be more suitable, if you really want an angle on your “pallet buster”. 🤷♂️
That might help out, But honestly mine works pretty well like it is, My only problem with it is how heavy it is lol. It comes in handy sometimes but after using it for a while it wears you out lol
Looks like you need to use a gas shielded wire gives you a cleaner weild
Yea, the welder I've got is pretty cheap flux core welder and has alot of issues, I wish I had a good mig or tig set up, I could sure get alot of use out of them. But its what I've got to work with for the time being.
Is it bad that I have screw envy from your saw insert? I can't find that stupid thing anywhere.
Well the saw insert is pretty important so u dont blame you lol
@@BuildStuffwithAJ I need to discard it and come up with some jury rigged thing with a bs riving knife I suppose.
Or buy a saw that costs more than 35$.
Nails stay in the stringers because of the type of nails and kind of wood; NOT the tool used to lever the boards apart.
First step; become a welder 👨🏭
You dont have to be a pro to get the job done on something like this, you just need access to a welder and a little practice
