The All Mighty Skate Tool

Do you need it?

A skate tool is a dope thingy that lets you tweak your board's bits, like the trucks, wheels, bearings, and bolts. It usually has a socket wrench, an Allen wrench, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a nut driver. You can use it to make your trucks more or less loose, switch your wheels or bearings, or fix any junk that's coming off your board.

You don't gotta have a skate tool, but it can make stuff easier and more awesome for you. You never know when you might wanna adjust something on your board or sort out a problem on the fly. A skate tool can keep you from getting stuck with a broken board or a lame ride. Plus, it can help you pimp your board to your liking.

It's also pretty cheap and easy to score. You can cop one online or at any skate shop for like $10-$20. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can snag one that suits your vibe and needs. Some skate tools even have extra goodies, like a bottle opener, a knife, or a keychain.

So, do you need a skate tool? The answer is no, but it's wicked handy and worth getting. A skate tool can help you look after your board, skate better, and take it to the next level. If you're into skating, you should get yourself a skate tool and keep it in your backpack or pocket. You'll be stoked you did.
