if you cant or dont want to do the other suggestions you can always try to just use a normal skatetool and use alot of downward pressure. ive never liked setting up boards with drills
Really? I found it impossible to get the bolts flush with the mighty might of the screw gun. No matter how hard I pressed the little head of the bolts still insisted on popping out a little. I probably have more muscles than this entire forum as well. I think it's needless to say that I am fucking ripped.
I mean I bench at least 200 just when waking up. Before bed? 250, baby. 300 pushups before breakfast. 200 curls after lunch.
i must be magic then because i always use a just a t-tool and get all the bolts either flush or almost flush. then i skate for 5 minutes and tighten them and theyre perfectly flush
yeah that could possibly it... you can apply more force with a skate tool, versus me just kinda pushing it in w/ a regular screwdriver sideways. but im always hesitant about that kinda shit...skate hardware, to me, preys on the skaters who emphasize image over all else; like they absolutely NEED to have a logo on their bolts. who the fuck is ever going to look? thats the thing... i bought some of my parts at zumiez (im sorry im sorry) and a skate tool + hardware would've been 15 dollars. at ace hardware, bolts are 8cents each, and not only can you get a screw-driver and wrench; you can get the regular version of each. total of 3 dollars. and now you've got a wrench and screwdriver you can use for the rest of your life on literally everything. like honestly theres just that side of skateboarding that pisses me off, where prices for shit are so overblown because they have a "sick graphic" on them.
and yeah i know, im rambling.
but yeah, aojiru, i used an electric screwgun... i dont see the point in doing it manually first than screwing it electrically when you can just bust a nut and do it all in one swoop (electric).
but the sawing is good advice, thanks.
