created the super strong and compact Alpha skate tool<\/a>. It’s about the size of a roll of quarters, yet has all the tools needed to setup or adjust a skateboard. And because it’s made of hardened chrome vanadium tool steel, it’ll probably end up being passed to your grand kids—unless it gets stolen first (beware of people who gravitate towards shiny objects!).<\/p>\nThe all-in-one Alpha skate tool has the following features.<\/p>\n
\n- 9\/16\u2033 open-end wrench for kingpin nuts<\/li>\n
- 1\/2\u2033 open-end wrench for wheel axle nuts<\/li>\n
- 1\/2\u2033 socket wrench for wheel axle nuts (useful for deep wheel wells)<\/li>\n
- 3\/8\u2033 open-end wrench for mounting hardware nuts<\/li>\n
- Phillips screwdriver\/wrench for regular mounting hardware bolts<\/li>\n
- Allen screwdriver\/wrench for Allen head mounting hardware bolts (ball-hex)<\/li>\n
- Grip tape file for gripping a new deck<\/li>\n
- Made from hardened chrome vanadium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t

<\/a>Skateboarding is demanding on skaters and their equipment. Kingpins and mounting hardware need frequent adjustment. It’s easy enough to borrow Dad’s tools to set up a new board at home, but carrying a tool chest wherever you go isn’t practical. Even worse are all those flimsy plastic and pot-metal skate tools that last about as long as a candy bar.<\/p>\n
