I hear those boards will self destruct if you use phillips bolts, allen only.

Yup only Allen hardware.

How is that board? DOA looks like something i'd like but they're not the same wood as Northern Co apparently

I think I read that the first run is through clutch mfg but soon they will be using south central
As for this deck the wood is pretty decent. Sent it into a pole and it didn’t chip.

Skating a Clutch blank right now and it's really good. Concave is a little much for me but I like really flat boards. Solid wood and shape ("V" shape)

Without seeing your bolts, how do you even know where you are?!

It's like trying to navigate without the stars!

Bought my current set of hardware online to get some free shipping and didn't realize they were phillips until they arrived..

It's been horrible.

[planman]

I've never used hex hardware, screwdrivers are way more readily available. Fuck's wrong with y'all?

They're also super easy to strip in my experience.

speaking of bolts Nosneb, do you not have bolts in the outer holes of your back truck

You're not wrong but I'm still going to continue to dislike phillips.

[JusticeAbberdash]

To me, phillips always makes me think of tools and other crude instruments. While allen heads remind me of special high tech equipment.

[Krooked antihero]

Allen ftw, never phillips.

This is exactly why I like the phillips. I like my whole board setup to feel  and look like this:



But with allen keys it looks like this while standing on it:
