The present disclosure illustrates pallet dismantling systems and methods. The disclosure provides pallet dismantling systems that use alignment forks, guides, and cutting tools to simplify the dismantling of pallets. The alignment fork comprising cantilevers with contact surfaces that abut a deckboard surface coupled to one or more stringers of the received pallet causing a junction between the deckboard surface and the one or more stringers to be in-line with the contact surfaces. Further, the dismantling system may comprise a cutting tool positioned planar to the contact surfaces of the cantilevers at a point along the alignment fork, the cutting tool to separate the one or more deckboards abutting the contact surfaces from the one or more stringers.

An accessory tool for an oscillating power tool includes a blade portion including a first lateral edge portion, a second lateral edge portion, and a leading edge portion, the leading edge portion defining a cutting edge. A reinforcement structure extends linearly across the blade portion from a first position located on the leading edge portion proximate the first lateral edge portion to a second position located on the second lateral edge portion and spaced apart from the leading edge portion. The reinforcement structure defines a cutting zone that encompasses a leading region of the blade portion between the reinforcement structure and the leading edge portion, the reinforcement structure being configured to increase a stiffness of the blade portion.
