Abstract
Abstract A tool kit has two parts which interfit together and are held together inside a generally flexible case, which is designed to be entrained on the belt of a skateboa9rder. One of the two parts defines three different-sized sockets for mounting and removing wheels and tightening the truck attachments to the main board, and the second part mounts an allen wrench and a pair of screwdriver heads, one being a Phillips and the other conventional. The screwdriver heads and allen wrench are used for tightening the rails and other miscellaneous fasteners that may occur on different types of skateboards.
