The chrome vanadium hardened steel Alpha tool is strong as hell and ultra compact--only 3" long.
All the tools you need for your skateboard--9/16", 1/2", and 3/8" wrenches, 1/2" socket, both Phillips and Allen screwdrivers, and even a grip tape file.
The 1/2" socket is great for getting into those deep old school and longboarding wheels.
The Alpha tool extends to nearly 4 1/2" so you can get a good grip when cranking down on your kingpin.
The removable Phillips and Allen screwdriver bit can be inserted into the side of the screwdriver for greater leverage.
Comments by Barry:
This is the nicest looking skate tool out there. It's so bling in fact, that when my dog tags are away getting cleaned at the jewelry store I attach this to my 36 inch chain and hit the clubs.
There is no other way to say this. The Alpha skate tool is the ROLEX of skate tools. If you don't have it your missing out on life.

I don't know about "missing out on life", but let me just share a true story with you. I mean, this one actually happened for real and isn't a joke like we sometimes write for other product comments.... Okay. This one time I had to adjust my trucks at the skatepark so I borrowed Hiromi's 'Lucky Supertool'. I tried to use it on my kingpin nut but it didn't even work! I was really puzzled and then I saw how umm...--theres no other way to say this-- terribly poor the quality of the hex socket was. Not only that, it had a very chamfered edge, which would work for a normal 9/16" nut, but kingpin nuts are too shallow for the socket to lock on... what was Lucky thinking? I was so disappointed. I looked over and was like, "What am i supposed to do with this?" and she quickly fished out this huge adjustable spanner that she kept in her backpack just for adjusting kingpin nuts. What...
Anyway, rest assured that the Alpha tool is well engineered and made with the best materials so it will do its job very well.
