Itโs a crazy world we live in. As one of the wealthiest countries history has ever known, weโve reached a place where an intentionally distressed look is now popular. And one of the easiest ways to get that look is with pallets. Whether youโre making a pallet wall, pallet furniture, or something else altogether, knowing the fastest way to tear down pallets is one key to a good experience.
Tools Youโll Want to Have on Hand
Youโre certainly welcome to use a pry bar if you really want to, but Clint decided to try a couple of reciprocating saws. With the Milwaukee M18 Hackzall in one hand and the Milwaukee M18 Fuel One-Key Sawzall in the other, he went to the races.
By using the longest Ax blades with carbide teeth we have, tearing down a pallet is a lot faster. But not all reciprocating saws are as beneficial on this kind of project. As you can see in the video, the full-size Sawzall is a much faster option.
So What is the Fastest Way to Tear Down Pallets Using a Reciprocating Saw?
That boils down to technique. While it makes the most sense to stand the pallet up and cut down, Clint finds that itโs actually much quicker to lay it down on the floor. Of course, thatโs not really something your chiropractor will thank you for. Or maybe he will if he gets to see you more often. But still, the difference in speed is pretty impressive.
So kick back and check out the video. Be sure to leave a comment or, better yet, a photo of your best pallet project. While youโre at it, make sure youโre following us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up with all the latest.
