I got this to dismantle pallets as my wife wants me to help her with some simple pallet projects. I have in the past tried dismantling them using a hammer and small pry tool. That is a lot of work and is bad on my back and knees as I bend over and on my knees sometimes. This tool changed all that. Now dismantling a pallet is much easier. In terms of quality of the tool, it is made of hefty thick material. As you can see in photos the welds are generous. All this means the tool should be able easily handle the stresses and last for very long time. On that front it also appears to be finished nicely with powder coated paint to prevent rusting. It is generously long - 50\" from the pivot point to the end of the handle after assembly. This length provides plenty of leverage making the job easier with much less effort. I also like that top of the handle has a rubber sleeve that provides a soft grip. Also included are a pair of gloves for protecting hands - a very thoughtful idea. I also find that the tool was very well packaged with adequate cushioning and a sturdy cardboard box - again goes to show attention to delivering quality. Overall very happy with the tool and happy to recommend it.
