What I love about this saw is when you show it love it recipocates it back to me. The saw gave me more love than my ex-wife. She cut everything in half but didn't reciprocate ❤! 😊

Whenever you see a pallet and it is heavy dark Brown, reddish Brown, Brown and you see black streaks in the wood..... Pick it up....... Everybody knows what oak smell like........ Cut a piece of the wood every piece of exotic wood has it own distinct smell.......

When I started working with pallet wood years ago, I broke mine down with a hammer and prybar. This was way before KZread. Then a friend of mine who was over one day said, what about using a Recip Saw? From that day forward, my hands, and back, knees are so thankful for him coming over. I'm getting older now, so I put them up on a pair of saw horses and clamp them down. Thanks for the video, I passed on to a person who is just starting out.

I found that using a hammer & crowbar I got a lot of wastage due to the wood splitting. Wet pallet wood splits less than dry. I quickly moved onto a recip saw & as well as being so much faster, there's no wastage.

Exactly what I need to know. I've been looking for a fast painless way to take pallet wood apart to use for flooring. Thanks

I love the Multitool. The cuts are always smooth and precise. A reciprocating saw caused too much damage on the wood I wanted to keep in it's best condition so a Multitool was just excellent.

Yep thats good doing it sideways ,but to save an injury to your back ,you dont do it on the dog shelf and dart round it in awkward positions. Elevate it put it on a bench or something ,look after your back cos once it goes its a life time of suffering ,and im talking from experience ,nice demo tho ive just ordered one of those saws ,and yes it to save back work lol. Greetings from Wales UK.

Just got a reciprocating saw from a lovely friend ❤ so this will be on my agenda for sure...

Busted. I seen only 1 nail cut in the middle. And I think they stoped filming and cut all the nails leaving 1 to cut. Maken look easier and faster. Anyone else catch that thumbs up 👍

Just purchased a reciprocating saw. Thanks for the tips.

I've done this with a full sized reciprocating saw and it still took a while, I didn't even think to look for a carbide blade. Great tip, this will be perfect for lining the inside of my shed/cave.

I use a lot of pallets to build various things. This is the best method. I've found that standing the pallet up with the slats horizontal makes the boards just fall out of the way. I had better luck with a corded saw as well. Cutting between the boards really grabs the blade and killed my battery. The corded saw seems to have slightly more power as well.

Looked to me like when he started in the middle of the pallet that there was only 1 nail holding it together. I think they stoped filming for a minute and cut them leaving 1 nail. I have cut thousands of these and know what to look for.

That was awesome. Thanks for the video!!

@@ryk3899 the first reciprocating saw, invented by Milwaukee, was branded the sawzall. Since it was the first of its kind, a lot of people use "sawzall" as a generic term for a recip-saw. I suppose it's similar to referring to bandages as band-aids, cotton swabs as q-tips, and calling a tissue a Kleenex. Also, since you want to be so smug and condescending towards Americans, I'll remind you that the reciprocating saw *(sawzall)* is an American invention...😉

I know orbital is better for wood but in this case its wood with a good amount of metal. Anybody got input?

I have both of these exact tools and I think they are great for what they are. But, these are not on the same level. The hackzall has a much lower power output and shorter stroke that is designed for thinwalled material. It was also at a severe disadvantage cutting 3-4" of wood vs the Sawzall running across ~1" of wood. Do your back a favor and set up some saw horses and a clamp or two to bring the work off the ground.

Also the first pallet was made with nails twice as thick. Night and day difference between the two pallets. Like we wouldn't notice.

Finally got my tree branches cut using my new saw kzread.infoUgkx84IcU5pbZd1Qrz8u4-YRLmJax7kdRi7B , and it was effortless. Then tackled taking pallets apart by just cutting through the nails. Zip Zip, like butter, took no time at all! Absolutely love that you just push a button to change the blade, so quick and easy. I chose cordless because of all the outside projects I need to do, and most are too far to extend an extension cord to. Incredibly lightweight, and easy to handle. I will be using this all the time. There is a reason they call them Sawzalls , because they literally saw all the things you need cut. Once you buy one you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner ~ Just make sure and buy the right blades for the job you want to tackle. The blades are not expensive, and there are lots of various multi-packs available.

I used a hammer and a pry bar over my reciprocating saw. Didn't really eve need the pry-bar. Lots faster than this.

I tried doing this with a regular Bi metal cutting blade and cutting through those nails kept destroying blades super fast like 1 blade per pallet

Try this with a UK pallet with the huge cubes of timber between layers. The blade just cuts into the wood and makes it harder than ever.

So, why did he start the video with the tools on a workbench but then deconstruct the pallet on the floor? I would think that a couple of quick clamps and a workbench or table would have made this a whole lot easier and he'd be a lot less winded. Even a couple of saw horses and a couple of clamps would work. I'm 6'-6" and 50. I'm NOT tearing apart enough pallets to cover a wall by doing this on the floor. He could easily stack 3-4 on a table, clamp them down, and get through this a lot easier and safer. I'd even take a bet that it would be quicker because he wouldn't be sucking air so much after each one.

Use an air punch gun you can get them on Amazon it's really fast. Then just drill out the holes to remove the metal splinters. Then it's machine ready. Fully reclaiming pallet wood for furniture or joinery use takes a long time people in a rush should just go to the store and get as straight and flat of surfaced lumber as they can find. Reclaiming is not cheap time or effort wise but monetarily it does yield a lot of free usabe wood if you do the work

I use a jigsaw for the job. Just a regular jigsaw. For the blade, a normal blade would have a depth of 3 to 4 inches. That's no good. Instead of regular blade, I used a blade from regular metal hand saw. But a metal saw blade would not fit into a jigsaw. One need to use an angle grinder to shape the end of the hand saw blade into the shape of jigsaw blade. The hand saw blade is thinner and more bendable. It sometimes cuts faster than what's been shown in the video.

With a new metal cutting blade you can cut all the nails very quickly, I have cut over 500 pallets apart so far. The whole key to speed is a sharp blade and moving to an unworn section when a section gets dull. Try it sometime, even a cheap metal cutting blade will cut many nails before it is worn out.
