How To Remove Nails With No Heads And Fill Hole In Reclaimed Pallet Wood

- Use a plug cutter to remove nails that you can’t pull out and fill with a plug in the same step.
Update: This is a good technique, however the 2x10 oak boards that I was going to use for this trick had way way too many nails in them. I'm talking at least 50-100. If I decided to use this technique I may have swiss cheese left for lumber! So another trick I learned from John Malecki the Builder (find him on TH-cam!) is just to pound the remnant of the nail to a 1/4 below the surface of the wood. And hopefully that will be enough to not catch in the planer.
0:35 Plug cutter, brilliant! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Glad it could help!
Here’s a fun tip I learned pretty recently when using vice grips. If you can, Grab the nail with the vice grips, then wedge a crowbar under the vice grips and pull your nail out. It makes the nail so much easier to pull out, and it’s pretty satisfying to get out those stubborn nails.
Wow, that is a great idea! Thanks for sharing 👍
I have the same problem, just brilliant suggestions, thanks for sharing.
Bought a plug cutter, going to try it soon.
just a suggestion dont use a dowels , because when you sand it youll see end grain. use your plug cutter and make plugs that have the same grain direction.
good suggestion.. but i think this video is about pulling nails out, i don't think he plans to use dowels
@notsofast I agree, using a plug with the same type of wood is the proper method.
Amer Fiaz Ahmed You are correct as well, this was simply a test to see how plugs/dowels would look patched in the reclaimed oak. We ended up not using this wood for the project after all, too many nail holes to plug!
I agree that this is the correct general idea. A minor complication is that due to the wall thickness of the original plug cutter, it's incapable of making plugs that will fit the hole it just made.
It gives it character and charm of using reclaimed wood.
So satisfying
Awesome video!!!!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Get you a nail remover slide hammer. Works really well with removing old nails without heads
Great 👍 idea, thx
Malik Ahmad No problem, love to share tricks that can help 👌
Check out the Nail Hunter or just use wire cutters with pointy ends like I do. I don’t have much experience with pulling nails but this trick is BADASS imo…. (let me know if I’m mistaken). Especially for medium-to-small, and even the tiniest of nails or staples, with or without a head!, and on pretty delicate surfaces, especially when putting something thin-but-sturdy between tool and finished surface to protect it from dents.
I gently poke the sharp tips of the wire cutters (some are shaped better than others) down into the wood just enough to clamp the wire cutters onto the nail (whether it has a head or not, you can bite the wire cutter blades into the shaft of the nail),
and then gently push down on the wire cutter handles, with lever action like regular nail-pulling tools to start pulling the nail out, (I usually don’t grab the wire cutters hard and try to pull the nail straight out, but that can be the way to go in some situations) …so anyway, start working nail out, either a big pull,
or letting go once it comes out even a tiny bit, and then grabbing the nail again a little further down to repeat process however many times it takes to do it the way you want..I find this method lets me customize whether I want go fast, or go slow enough to do minimum damage.
Obviously the shape of the wire cutter blade tips is the “business end” of this method, so if you really want the best results maybe take a real close look at how thick the tips are and how much damage they are making when you push them into the wood. As long as they’re strong enough to clamp onto the nail, I would think you can make them as thin and sharp as you want, for example on a grinder or with a Dremel. Haven’t tried it myself because I have a couple pretty sharp pairs that have kicked ass at everything I’ve tried them on so far.
At times I’ve used a utility knife or razor blade to remove a tiny bit of material around the sunken nail had to get slightly cleaner results than forcing the wire cutters in there without any pre-work.
Happy to hear any better methods.
Again, I’m not a professional, just a dude.
Nice idea
Thanks for watching
Fantastic
Thank you
Great idea
Thanks! Love finding tricks like this in the shop to share
@@RossCustomWoodFurniture Is there a trick to drill the remaining hole to a larger size to prepare it for a plug for which you have a plug cutter?
I'll try this. I have some pallet wood and I know some it has broken nails in it.
On
cats paw works faster and doesnt damage the wood as much if you use it smart
True, but hard to grip nail with cats paw if it doesn’t have a head.
ugh, my screw broke like 1/2 inch in
Vise grips are now your friend.
@@RossCustomWoodFurniture the hole is too small for normal vice grips, and the needle nose isn't stable enough to twist. Ended up just buying plug cutters and shoved my drill in there to bite it.
Ok entrepreneurs out there or should I say want to be entrepreneurs, after watching this video and many others like it, and for many of millions doing demolition and nail removal, we know there are thousands of nails in one project, so I mostly laughed at this video, come one young woman and young men, are out there with great inventive minds, we need to get thru nails in seconds, and not ruin the boards look doing it, become a millionaire, invent this tool that pulls a hard to pull nail and pulls it now, you will sell this to every single hardware store in the world, remember it's the "hard to pull nail" there is already nail pullers for nails easily accessible, you can do it!

This is stupid. i have like 90 of them. cut them off with a Sawzall then hammer the rest into the plank.
For that many nails, I would absolutely agree with your method!
