  "description_short": "Steel, four pieces, a 10.16 cm rubber grip and a 10.16 cm forking gap that spreads the lift across the board instead of one nail.",
  "description": "The reason reclaimed pallet timber usually looks bad is not the timber. It is how it came off.\n\nA crowbar loads one nail at a time. The board flexes, the fibres let go around the nail head, and you get a split end and a hole. Do that on both ends of every board and you are left with short pieces.\n\nA forked breaker loads the whole width at once. Both nails at that end lift together, the board stays flat, and it comes off with its ends intact.\n\nWork one end at a time and work along the stringer. Set the fork so both nails are inside the gap, take the handle down in one steady movement rather than jerking it, and let the leverage do it. If a board will not give, move the fork rather than adding force.\n\nPull the nails as you go. A pile of boards with nails still in them is a hazard and it is also harder to stack. A nail puller or a claw hammer finishes what the breaker starts.\n\nOld pallets can be treated. Look for the IPPC stamp: HT is heat treated, and MB is methyl bromide, which is not something to bring indoors or burn.\n\nWear gloves and eye protection. Nails come out at speed sometimes, and pallet timber is rarely splinter free.",
