Skateboard Tools

A skateboard tool, or a skate tool, is a handy tool that contains everything you need to assemble your setup. Most skateboard tools have a classic T-shape. At the ends are matching hex keys for the nuts of the kingpin, axle pin and the mounting kit. Each skate tool comes with a Phillips and Allen wrench. So you can always tighten all the screws, no matter what setup you ride.

The advantages of skateboard tools

The advantages of skateboard tools are mainly the size and handiness. The tool fits in almost any pocket and with just a few simple steps you can make your setup fit again. Single screwdrivers or wrenches you can leave in the toolbox. With a skate tool you have the perfect tool for the road.

If you are riding a cruiser or a longboard, you do not need to buy an extra tool. Skate tools can be used for any type of skateboard. A high-quality skate tool will accompany you for a long time and not let you down.

What special features can skate tools have?

In addition to the standard variants, there are tools for skateboards with special features. An adjustable joint, for example, makes it easier for you to tighten the mounting kit if the geometry of the truck makes this difficult. With an integrated file, you can provide the contour before gripping and afterwards for soft edges on your Griptape. Some tools have a clockwise and anticlockwise ratchet, so that the assembly is even easier by hand.

If the thread of your axle pin is gone and you can no longer get a nut on it, you can save your truck with tap tools. Some brands have their skateboard tools equipped with taps, so you can breathe new life into your truck.
