Nah its a pallet pry bar. There are some commercially available but apparently all they do is wreck the pallet.

Is this for removing damaged boards from a pallet to repair them? Many years ago I made a couple for the place I worked at using angle iron and 1" gal pipe for the handle. I might be wrong and the one you have is for using on the side of a pallet to move or lift it judging by the gap between the end bits. I'm a bit far from you to help. Should be fairly easy to make.

Yup! well not exactly..I'm looking to disassemble them to reuse the wood. Hopefully without damaging the boards. Yes, this one is designed to pivot on the central support pieces and pry out the top and bottom layer of the pallet.

It doesn't seem too difficult to make but I don't have access to the tools or the knowledge to make them :/ Do you know of any way I can get them made or buy them here in melbourne?

G'day Yowwai,
I'd be happy to knock it up for you.
I'm in Fawkner if that helps.
Just shoot me a PM.
Cheers,
Greg.

Which side of Melbourne are you in, I have a friend down there that could put one together for you. He's in Keysborough if that's close by. PM me for details if it is of help.

If all else fails, PM me and we can work something out mate.
We can move things around quite easily by courier if need be.
Matt
