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.

What Setup are you running them on?: Kracked Skulls Scimitar
Typical Discepline?: crusing; carving
How much did you pay for them?: $42
Where did you buy them?: Daddies Board Shop
What are their weaknesses?: The kingpin always getting in the way when tightening them with a skatetool.

Shitty stock bushings. REPLACE them ASAP with others!

What are their strengths?: Ease of reassembly; your ordinary skateboarding truck design.... BUT at 180mm.

The design on the bottom of the trucks; the paris logo. (Kracked Skulls Scimitar has trucks mounted through board)

The more eyecatching design of the paris logo's on the inner sides of the truck base.

Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 3 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Dervish Flex 1
Typical Discepline?: crusing; carving
How much did you pay for them?: $48
Where did you buy them?: Daddies Board Shop
What are their weaknesses?: The nut for the kingpin always falling out when trying to reassemble the hanger and bushings.

How the bottom of the truck has no design like that of Paris trucks. (my loaded dervish has trucks mounted through the board)

The black paint coming off too easily when bumped or rubbed on to something; even by the board's own weight.

What are their strengths?: The changable kingpin size and the way you set them up.

Being made in the US of A; buy American!
