"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey, I'm here today with Expert Village and I'll talk to you about the importance of a skate tools. Very handy to have on you in when you?re getting into skateboarding. You can buy one at your local skateboard shop nearby uh it's about ten dollars or so, but I would recommend it. It's worth it cause this is used for taking the trucks off of your skateboard it's smaller, medium sized one you use it for taking the bolts off of of your wheels, so you can take the wheels off your trucks. And the large one is probably the most important; it's used for loosing up your trucks so you can turn a lot easier. Or tightening up your trucks so you turn a lot smoother but a little bit less. Um it also has something a little compartment, and you pull out this. This is the other tool you need along with the smaller area for taking off the trucks. Um and on the other end here you hold it like this, this you stick into the middle of your bearings on your wheel, and you pop out your bearings with this. That's very useful cause it difficult to pop out the bearings on your trucks."
