How to Use a Skate Tool? (Which T-Tool is the BEST?)

Рет қаралды 43,585

A skate tool, or T-Tool, is a universal skateboard tool that allows you to make quick adjustments to your skateboard setup, anytime, anywhere.
It is essential for skateboarders to own at least one skate tool, as it makes adjusting your skateboard so much easier to do.
From loosening trucks to switching out skate wheels, a skate tool can really be the one stop shop for all adjustments you could ever need to do. There are tons of these tools out there on the market, some have more features built into them, but every skateboard tool has a standard set of tools.
So how do you use a T-tool? And which is the best skate tool to buy? I cover both those questions and more in this video!

I love the spitfire T with the file. So portable and the file is perfect on it. Doesn’t over file.

I like the video. I myself, choose to have a tool box in my car full of things. I have a UNIT T Tool and of course the best skate tool ever made; the Silver skate tool. But I like to have extra bearings, shields, wheels, grip tape, shield remover, bearing cleaner, extra pair of lavender Nora Vasconcellos chino pants, etc. I really like the Silver tool though, if I had to go all in one it would be that tool.

Stupid question maybe, but is there a difference between Y tools and T tools beyond the shape? I've seen both and they seem to have the same things otherwise, but I'm not sure.

@MidnightSnackSkateboarding 2 жыл бұрын

No questions are stupid here! 😄 There is not really a huge difference between a Y-tool and a T-Tool. Some may argue that it is easier to turn and use one or the other. However, other than personal preference, there really isn't any major difference. 👍

@MidnightSnackSkateboarding 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can use an allen key, a screwdriver, and a wrench. It is just easier to bring a skate tool around rather than carrying those 3 tools with you when you go skating! Hope that helps!

At 2:33 you advise to not buy skateboard equipment on amazon unless you want to have a bad time. Can you please elaborate on this?

@MidnightSnackSkateboarding 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, of course! In my other videos I have not recommended buying Skateboard equipment off Amazon for a couple of reasons. 1.). In most cases the Skateboard items sold on Amazon are cheap brands. (That's not ALWAYS the case, but it is often). 2.). It is important to support independent skate shops, so you should always try to buy from a real skate shop before going to Amazon.

Thanks for the response. I was curious if you ever had any problems with fake skate stuff from Amazon. Recently I have heard about fake bones bearings, spitfire wheels, etc

Not all skate tools are T-tools, they are just the basic ones. 3 washers on each wheel will remove any need for threading tool, especially if used in 2-1 configuration.
