Abstract
The present invention is directed to a tool for use on a skateboard and easily carried in a pants pocket of a user. The tool has a body is in the general shape of a “T” having a crossbar bisected by a stem and provides for three sockets of differing sizes, one of each being mounted at each end of the crossbar and the free end of the stem. Provision is also made for carrying a combination Allen key and Phillips head screwdriver and is in the general form of a standard Allen wrench having a long arm and a short arm normal to the long arm. This provision constitutes a cylindrical cavity with an opening at the intersection of the crossbar and stem and extending into the stem for distance adequate to accommodate the long arm of the combination Allen key and Phillips head screwdriver, which preferably is the Phillips head portion. This provision also provides a groove extending along the surface of the crossbar of such size and shape to accommodate the short arm of the combination Allen key and Phillips head screwdriver, which preferably is the Allen key portion. An “O” ring is positioned within the cylindrical cavity to provide a friction fit with the Phillips head screwdriver portion of the combination Allen key and Phillips head screwdriver. An “O” ring may be positioned circumferentially on the Allen key portion so as to provide an improved fit within the corresponding groove as an alternative or in conjunction with the cylindrical cavity “O” ring.
