Title: Pallet Separator
Post by: Ben Framed on February 05, 2022, 06:05:28 pm

Did any of you by chance see the latest video put out by Woolie B's Apiary featuring a special made tool that will dis-assemble a pallet in just minutes? He showed how he breaks down pallets and for use in building bee equipment from the materials gathered. The title is: "Beekeeping on the cheap. Hard wood pallets"

No, do you have a link?
I have access to a lot of new pallets and I would like to see it.

Thanks Ben. I will probably make one. The pallets that I can get are all oak.

It is hard to get a good picture of the tool but here is what I was able to get.





Hope this helps someone else make one.

That is basically it Jim I am thinking. Looked simple but effective in the video where he was dis-assembling the heat treated pine pallets.

Pallet buster tools are readily available for those with an extra $50 or $60 and no welder or inclination.
Example.      https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Pallet-Buster-Yellow-Handle/dp/B07C8CQV35/ref=asc_df_B07C8CQV35?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80195681392091&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583795260319923&psc=1
 I have built quite a lot from pallet wood

Rast if a person had the material and equipment to build one of these that would be good. If not it might be much easier to just go ahead on buy one for 54 dollars with free shipping as your post. Regardless, I would have not know of this had it not been for Woolie Bees. Nor would I have known they could be purchased had you not posted this information.
Thanks for posting.
