WHAT TYPES OF BOLTS ARE THERE IN SKATEBOARDING?You can find bolt packs in different lengths and shapes. In recent years, Allen (or socket) bolts have gained popularity over Phillips head for aesthetic reasons.Skate tools contain both Phillips and Allen, and also have the matching Allen key for the mounting nuts, kingpin nuts, and the axle nuts.ALLEN BOLTS:Allen bolts have a head with a special 6-sided, hexagonal socket. Allen keys can be found in any skate tool and come with most Allen-bolt packs.COUNTERSUNK VS. RAISED HEAD BOLTSThis type of screw is set in the deck to form a smooth surface that won’t interfere with your skating.
