I have got a roughneck demolition bar .....same sort of thing as yours Dave......jolly useful bit of kit.
I have just had a look and see that people put prices of various things and where to buy them, so I assume I won't get into trouble if I put a link on where you can get one.

There are lots of makers these days, never tried a commercial one so cannot comment but there is a young guy on youtube who thinks he invented it ha ha, I was using a massive version of this tool called a bull fork 42 years ago on demolition sites, pretty scary when you are 4 floors up on joists with nails in them, Dave

all those lovely wooden pallets a good friend of ours brings us wooden crates that he has  logs  delivered in from abroad in containers there 6ft planks nailed to a new pallet I've used several of them for storage boxes for my logs

if your careful taking those pallets to pieces they make lovely razed beds and any broken pieces  get cut up and used on the wood burner pallets also make good compost bins

I never refuse pallets old or new  :D :D :D

I love wooden pallets. They do come in many sizes depending what is being shipped. I found that the building merchants the best, You need to get friendly with the yard foreman / forewoman. Sheets of plasterboard 8' x 4' are shipped flat on pallets, Bath's, Doors and objects of different sizes. The last two pallets I got were 3m x 1m. As for the cross pieces you need to check as I have found that some are made from a hard wood which is excellent for widow frames. I have now built 2 sheds from pallets and scrap wood just paying for the glass and felt roofing.

I'm living the good life, my plot is by a double glazing supplier. Not only do we often get double length pallets but they get these long shipping crates that are really good timber and easy to break down.

Plus a plentiful supply of the usual regular pallets (of varying quality)

I have a pile of timber on my plot but my god do I get through it fast, I'd be into it for thousands if I paid for timber. Should've bought shares in goldscrew before I started  :D
