I'm in the market for the best skate tool. This might be it.
I have one and I can't recommend it.
The plastic body of the tool is larger in diameter than the sockets and prevents the tool from fitting onto the kingpin nut on many trucks. Ironically it's especially bad on some indys.
I have an Ace tool specifically because the Indy wouldn't fit my trucks.
I asked Indy to refund my money and they wouldn't.
I have had a few, only ever broken the deck bolt / kingpin hex head attachment part, but yeah they are chunky and often not so good with kingpins, but the rethreader alone is the main thing I have it for, with other smaller / thinner tools similar to Ace, Spitfire, Modus and others for doing up / taking off deck bolts and kingpin nuts.
Being the original Reflex design patent, they are maybe one of the most expensive skate tools on the market too, as far as a simple enough tool with no moving parts, but the tool itself is solid and the main body in all of mine has held up really well over the many years I have had them - one in each place I work / skate / car, etc.
