this is alright. the think that goes in the top does not fit all bolts and if the head is slightly rusted then it makes it tricky. and it is easy to lose it.
also the kingpin one is not long enough meaning less torque and it you have 70+ wheels you cant keep it spinning and have to take it off all the time. part from that its a good tool to have and is quite cheap

It's handy to have around in your pocket while skating; but as primary tool it sucks. The handle isn't long enough; meaning there is not enough torque really. The sockets are too small; especially for the largest one for tightening kingpins.... if you have paris trucks, definiately avoid this tool, the kingpin IS going to rub into the socket at certain point, making it impossible to tighten the kingpin anymore. The plastic feels sturdy but it's way too brittle; I have broken 2 already before writing this review, and they always break at the "T" joint. Another problem is that the screw driver that goes inside the tool, even through has a rubber ring to keep it in, it doesn't stay within the tool and always comes out; making it easy to lose.

The unit T tool is good for maintaining your trucks on the go. the only problem i have with mine would have to be the smallest socket. its not real deep so if your mounting hardware gets to be a little long. the socket might not be able to grasp the nut. but other than that i have no problems with mine

Before (And still have it somewhere) I have one of those "Elephant" tools which looks like a cross shape, with axle socket on 1 side, kingpin socket on other, and a mysterious other tool that crosses through it. I needed something that could quickly remove trucks off the board and switch over to another so I went ahead and bought the Unit tool. I now actually have 2 of these tools. I had originally bought one when I got my Flexdex, and some hardware so I had something to quickly and easily put it together. After some time went by, I had misplaced it when moving a bunch of stuff around and storing away a good 70% of my stuff. I suspected my tool unfortunately got stored so I bought a second one. Aside from all that yap, I would say that they are quite useful my only complaint is that on one of them, the screw driver slips out real easily. My other one's screw driver fits nice and snug. When testing out my latest ride, I usually take a tool with me to fine tune my board...or when I know I'm out riding for a while, I'll take it with me. I wouldn't say it's quite pocket sized if you have smaller pockets, maybe one of the more compact 'swiss army knife' type tools would be more beneficial for that. But in this case, it's got plenty of leverage when loosening trucks or mounting hardware, or tightening them.
