newbona Skate Tool 10-in-1 Multi-Function Skateboard Tools

I got this tool about a month ago to set up my new wheels and was able to give a test to pretty much all the features so far (excluding the griptape file). I have to say I’m really impressed! The swivel on the hardware socket is a lifesaver and makes the process so fast. The kingpin socket fits great but the axle socket is a tad bit big. That may be because my wheel nuts are pretty beat up though. It definitely did the job no problem anyway.The thing I’m probably most impressed with that I didn’t expect is the bearing press attachment. That thing works so well to pull bearings out and is so much better a method to push bearings in than pressing them into your trucks like most people would do. Really cool actuallyAnother cool feature was the rethreader. I did it just to use it and was surprised how much of a difference it made to get my wheel nuts to screw back on. They were pretty beat up from wear and tear and primos so it made a huge difference.One of the only downfalls to this tool is it comes with an extra Allen key attachment that doesn’t have a designated storage spot on the tool itself. If it could attach, this thing would be fully perfect. I’ll just keep it in a little bag with my tool to not lose it though.Overall it’s a great tool and I do recommend! I made a video on YouTube demonstrating the tool if you’d like to see it in action. Www(.)Youtu(.)be/Tq-QydBYO1gKeep skating and having fun!!

I really liked the idea of a ratcheting skate tool with a die for rethreading truck hangers, so I thought I’d try this out. The ratcheting action made mounting trucks super easy, and this quickly became my favorite skate tool. My only complaint was that the little screwdriver falls out pretty easily, but that’s a very minor inconvenience for me. Overall I really appreciated the functionality this tool provides.Fast-forward several weeks: after assembling 3 decks the ratcheting mechanism started to slip. This tool is great, but the best feature is, unfortunately, now broken. I was going to write it off and give it a 2-star review, but figured I’d contact the seller first. After a quick back-and-forth over email (on a Sunday!) a new tool is on the way. Customer service alone deserves 5-stars, and I am very pleased with the seller being so willing to replace it. I will put some miles on the new one, once I get it, and update this review with the results.Update 9/16/21Still a good tool. I have learned that it can’t handle a ton of torque, and the screwdriver piece falls out easily. Neither of those really affect the tools usefulness, though. I still like the ratcheting ability, and the file on the top is a nice add. I would still buy it again. Go skate and have fun!

Honestly, I have a few different tools (like T and Y tools) that have pretty much everything I need for adjusting my skates. I ended up buying this one because it has the bearing removal tool and I wanted 1 tool with everything, but It's honestly pretty crappy. At least for removing bearings. The part to remove the bearing on this tool is just a 1 inch head you switch out on the bottom. There's no support when you're trying to pull out the bearing. If you pull straight up, the piece just comes out of the socket. If you pull to the side or wiggle back and forth at all, the metal bar that holds the head in place is not strong enough so I feel like I'm going to snap it in half. I don't even use it anymore, I just use my trucks to remove my bearings from my wheels. If you're buying this because you're new to skating and you want a tool that does it all, don't buy this. Just get a T or Y tool, and pick up the Bones Bearing Remover tool. There's some knock off ones of the Bones tool on ebay for 10 bucks. Don't waste your money on this!

The ratchet is unnecessary and adds bulk and weight. Ratchets are really only good where movement is restricted, which it won't be with how long this tool is (the irony is they could make this more compact BECAUSE it has a ratchet...but oh well). It also makes it harder to make this compact, since when you slide out the ratchet tool to compact it, it doesn't really diminish the size very much because the ratcheting mechanism takes up the extra housing of the plastic frame.They should make this with ALL the other things without the ratcheting part and make it able to dissemble better. Shown in pictures, theres a lot of wasted space when dissembled if you're trying to make it more portable. They make another one that doesn't have the ratchet, but it is missing the griptape scraper (you can also use an old screwdriver, or old file, but it's nice to have it there as a true all-in-one) and truck axle rethreader. So its kind of worth the sacrifice.Overall, good tool, built two builds with this and adjusted a Landyachtz Dinghy complete I just bought. Literally the only other thing you need is a razor/box cutter to cut the griptape after marking it (you can actually file it until it tears if you really, really have to, but it's pretty shredded) and score some holes for the hardware, a kingpin rethreader (this tool has the axle rethreader only), a sanding belt cleaner (you can buy at the hardware store for about $9 and cleans your griptape for dozens of uses) and a bearing kit w/lube. If you have those, you pretty much have everything you need for building and upkeep for years to come. Worked well for all uses, great value, thumbs up.

This thing is terrible. I’ll give it two stars because the sockets work, but other than that the quality is suspect. I bought this too primarily for the rethreader, as my favorite set of trucks needed it. Well, after using the rethreader and having it literally come out of the rest of the tool, my favorite trucks are now useless. I’m a handy person and work with tools for a living, so a simple job like this is certainly not above my ability, but the lack of quality control has cost me more than the tool is worth. DO NOT BUY this item if you plan on using the rethreader. I’m almost certain the ratchet will go next. Bad quality all the way around. Do yourself a favor and buy an Independent tool with the rethreader or one of the Pig tools. Not worth the hassle. I wasted my money on this.
