A good simple skate tool

Nice little skate tool, works well and can be carried with you. I read that people in rollee derby use these for their roller skates, so I bought one for my casual skating. Works great!

The Bora guide is a well made tool that provides an easy to use straight edge for cutting or routing panels.  The clamps are rubber covered so the panel won't be marred, and the clamping handle, with its several pressure positions, is easy to use (with one caveat--see below).  In order to release the outboard clamp you must squeeze "I" shaped releases that project nicely from either side of the guide; even though I like the ease of finding the releases, I found using this function a bit hit and miss.  One added feature of the Bora is its ability to clamp at up to 22.5 degrees off of square.  The clamping handle's farthest downward position pulls the guide into a 90 position (which I do check with a square), but the force required to push it down to this position really makes me worry about it breaking.  I hope additional use will prove my concern unwarranted, but the guide's moving parts don't feel strong enough to take the amount of pressure required to force the handle to 90 degree clamping.  I'll probably only use it in this position, so I hope it will last, but so far so good.

Easy to use and great protection for skates.  I like how you can use them for many different sizes.  Easy on and off the blades. Be sure to dry the blades before placing on the guards.

Not much to say except this is a very useful tool. I've used the "pluck the spokes to tune them" approach for years with good success. Recently though, I had to replace several spokes and could just not get the wheel true and also get a perfectly round wheel. With some frustration I finally broke down and invested in the Park Tool TM-1. I'm glad I did. I re-tensioned all 32 spokes, checked for alignment, made a few adjustments and ended up with a perfectly true wheel. The tool appears to be a rather simple device, maybe overpriced (hence four stars), but it works well and is effective.

We bought this for our 13 year old. He did not want any other brand other than heelys and I now understand why.
The shoe can be used as a sneaker or as skates. It comes with a tool to easily remove the wheels.
My son says the shoes are comfortable but firm for when using them as skated they feel pretty stable. The velcro helps keep the sneaker more adjusted so the feet do not slide or wiggle helping minimize accidents when skating. They look and feel solid and stable.
The colors are really cool... Said by my 13 year old. He is pretty happy and it was worth the money.

I love carabinerss so when I needed a skate tool and saw this one, I didn't hesitate to buy it! I like it, and love that you can just clip it to your belt loop while riding. I took off some points though for a couple reasons: 1) the allen wrench/screwdriver seems a little small to work well, however, the size makes sense considering that it fits inside the biner. 2) because of the shape it is a little more awkward to use the wrenches in comparison to the typical skate tool shape where the wrenches are socket shaped. However, at the end of the day, it works! And it is more portable and practical than the typical skate tool, so it really just depends on your taste - do you want a tool that is more accessible and portable, or a tool that is more bulky but is a little more efficient?

I really like my Ryobi tools.  This isn't as powerful as what our landscaper brings each week, but it does simple jobs that I want to handle myself.

Good tool for the price. The detchable screw is a nice feature too. It works great when I tune up my boards.

Great little first-time skates. The plastic is pretty cheap, but nothing fell apart! Good for beginners.

It is a handy tool for single speeders rolling around between country stores and enjoying refreshing cold beers and an occasional flat tire. It has the 15mm wrench to remove the axel nut, a tire removal lever, and a bottle opener. The pedal spanner will come in more handy at home when replacing your pedals. The delivery was prompt, and the packaging was fine.

Easy to put on the skate board.  It makes the wheels immobile so that the boarder can practice tricks.  Functions as promised.

Works great on cardboard and matt board. Easy snap blades make this as easy to use as a #5 blade.

My son has been using the rental skates for a year. I decided to invest on these skates after research. It gives him good ankle support. It's sharpened and ready to use out of box. He likes them.

Nothing like a quality tool for professional use...they are way safer too. Once an impact tool blows apart, you will wish you'd not been such a cheap skate.

I agree with the earlier reviewer that it takes awhile to get the sliding technique down.  However, I'm not much of a skater, and I got the hang of it after about 10 minutes, and have gotten even better since.  My 11-year-old son likes it as well.  I'm up to 35 minutes on the thing.  I'm hoping that it will make each of us better skaters if it ever gets cold enough to form ice this winter.  It's already noticeably improved my tennis quickness.

I disagree with that earlier reviewer's contention that one could self-manufacture this device for $20.  No, it's not as good as the professional slide board that I first used at the gym (which gave me the idea to look for one for home) and that costs $600 and would probably last 50 years.  But it's not bad for $135.

I bought the 10' model.  The 8' model is plenty big enough, unless you're Mario Lemieux or Eric Heiden.

I bought this tool for rigging senko baits. Works well and is inexpensive.

PROS:
- Price is reasonable... if I drop it off the boat it won't cost much to get another.
- Comes with a sturdy aluminum clip to attach to your belt or fishing bag.
- A stretch lanyard is include and makes for secure, easy use.
- Comes with wacky rigs that extend the life of senkos or other soft baits.
- Anodized finish to resist weathering

CONS:
- Red and blue were the only colors available when I purchased mine... I would have preferred green or purple.
- While it is sturdy enough for normal use... it will bend if you accidentally step on it.

Purchase again? Yes
