Do I Really Need a Skateboard Tool?


 

Skateboard tool examplesTechnically you don't need a skateboard tool but they are a good investment.

Having one could save you the time and frustration of rooting around your dad's garage for the right equipment to take your trucks apart.

If you do opt for one remember to be sure it will fit your board. Not all skate tools are right for all boards.

For example, some boards need a hex key and others need a Phillips screwdriver.

Check out your skateboard's hardware before buying a tool.

Knowing what you need and making sure you have it all to hand before beginning any skateboard maintenance will save you a lot of hassle.

There are many brands to choose from but as long as the tool does the job it's really just a matter of personal choice.

Ask at your local skate shop if you're not sure which tool you need for your particular board.
