What Kind Of Skateboard Hardware Will Last The Longest?
Author: admin // Category: UncategorizedI always have terrible hardware, and the bolts get stripped really fast and dont stay tight. im sick of this crap and i just want good hardware. Can anyone suggest good skate hardware that willl last a while? i know it doesnt make a difference in how well you skate, but i dont wanna have to replace it every 2 weeks. Thanks!

In about 30 years of skating, hardware has never been a problem for me. I usually use the generic hardware at the skate shop. I also have used Bullet, Independent, Pig and even the stuff from the hardware store.
When installing hardware, only hand tighten the nuts, don;t use power tools; they can strip out the nylon retainer in the nut.
Use bolts that are the right length. Too short, and you can;t get the nut at least flush with the end of the bolt. Too long, and the threads can get damaged.

wow dood, i wanna know wat ur doing 2 need 2 tighten up so often. its prolly not the harware thts the problem. its the way ur tightening the bolts. i can garontee u ut not pressing hard enough with the screwdriver. all hardware is the same. a bolt and a nut. there r a few bolts tht r wierd tht pound in and u dont need a scredriver. i wouldnt recomend them, theyre a sob 2 work with. just tighten ur hardware more carefully and dont tighten up unless its actually loose.
