-* Be careful to the width of the pallets' boards. Thin boards may not resist the lever operation and crack why you dismantle it. You will end up with small bits of wood, which may be useful to light a fire or put in the garden (beware of embedded chemicals), but not to build furniture. +  * Be careful to the width of the pallets' boards.

-* In my opinion, the crowbar is more powerful than the broomstick. With the crowbar, you can slip in very thin spaces between the boards, whereas with the broomstick, you can only act between relatively distant boards. The crowbar also leaves more freedom on the orientation of the force, which can be important with thin boards. See next bullet point. +  * In my opinion, the crowbar is more powerful than the broomstick.

-* When unhooking one board from another, prefer to aplly the force in a direction parallel to the boards'fibers. Doing otherwise may induce cracks in your boards, especially around knives.+  * When unhooking one board from another, prefer to aplly the force in a direction parallel to the boards'fibers.
