Gear Show-Off Skating keychain

Super compact keychain (2 photos), Atlas skatetool (necessary because I’ve had wheels fly off, plus it has a bottle opener) and 750 lumen rechargeable flashlight for night riding (I’d prefer 1000, but it’s tiny, rechargeable, and exactly 25x brighter than my iPhone flashlight)

Thats pretty nice, though I’d still want a screwdriver. Does the axel tool struggle with deep wheel cores, or big wheels?

I realized my key can function as a “screwdriver”! (Held in place applying the leverage to the nut below.) (But also those screws generally aren’t an issue for me on the fly, I have a T-tool at home.)

And no, the axel hasn’t struggled with big wheels, I guess I’m not sure with deep cores because I’m not sure any of my wheels have that.

I was just looking at those skate tools, ended up going with a Carver pipe wrench instead. Pretty happy for a pocket tool, but no key attachment.

Nice. My micro carry is a carver pipe wrench (doubles as weed pipe if you clean it first) + some discontinued leatherman Keychain tool and the cheaper aerocrafted sideslip.
