Taking old pallets apart is the hardest part of reusing them - the ones I have are fastened with rusting ringshank nails. I broke way more than half of the slats trying to take them apart, and it is not a trivial amount of physical effort.

I use a saws-all with a good wrecking blade and cut the nails. The pallets come apart quickly and intact.

Yep, having the right tool for the job always helps! I was using a flat bar and hammer and cat's paw, and ended up making a hash of it.

the sawzall trick is a good tip for lifting old decking too. I turn the boards around and pop the 1/2 nails out. amazing how much good cedar you can recover from an old deck with a bit of sanding/planing.
