By far the worst bowl Ive ever owned. I"d rather use a soda can. I'm glad i have it since it is a tool that can fit in your pocket cozily while you ride.

This is a very good pocket tool, it's got enough leverage for a quick wheel or hardware fix. I wish the main shaft had been an inch or two longer {yeah, yeah, "that's what she said") for better leverage, but it gets around my In-Heats pretty well. The tool's open 3/8 end makes it easy to remove those stupid long screws that eat your Randals, but it does get very tiring trying to change trucks with this tool. As for it's use as a pipe, this thing basically has 3 carbs to cover, the hole where the Allen wrench/ screwdriver slides in, plus the two sides of the 3/8 fixture. I usually 1-hand it using my index and thumb to cover the 3/8 bit and my pinky to cover the other end. Be warned though, this tool makes your tobacco taste like a role of quarters, so it's more of an emergency piece than a main, but the fact that it even has that ability makes it an awesome tool when you are on the go on an adventure and need to make sure you have your bases covered.

I like this tool when I am on the go. It will do most everything you need. If I had to buy only one skate tool, I would still get this one. I do have another, and for work around the house I turn to the standard T-handle tool first because it is easier to use. But if you go to the park or for a ride, this tool will work great and is way easy to carry.

If you have very large wheels, you might not be able to use the tool to tighten the nuts all the way. On my 76mm gumballs, the wrench is kind of at an angle when the nut is tight on the bearings. Works fine, but may be an issue for bigger/deeper wheels.

A great looking tool, small and compact, easy to carry in your pocket. Beautiful finish and a pleasure to hold in your hand. Screwdriver/Allen Key held in place with magnet. Downsides: Screwdriver small and awkward to use, best to remove or it falls out whilst using other functions on the tool. Difficult to use on deep recessed wheels due to short length of socket wrench.
Apparently it doubles as a pipe too.
