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.

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.
