It mounts one set of trucks to one deck, and it's the length most street and park setups use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShorty's bolts are half threaded, which makes them stronger against bending and breaking, and they use a smaller countersinking head that sits neatly in your deck and puts less stress on the wood. The Allen head grips the key firmly, so you can crank them tight without stripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\" length:\u003c\/strong\u003e right for most decks without risers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllen head:\u003c\/strong\u003e strong grip, less stripping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalf threaded:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists bending and breaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmaller countersinking head:\u003c\/strong\u003e less stress on your deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull board set:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 bolts and 8 nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Countersunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen (hex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen key and 3\/8\" nut driver or skate tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Shorty's\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorty's is a California hardware brand, founded in 1991 by Tony Buyalos and April Hamrick around one simple idea: deck bolts that are the right length. It later ran a deck program with a team that included Chad Muska and Peter Smolik, before stepping back from decks in 2006 to focus on hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Shorty's is best known for its deck bolts and bushings. Its bolts are half threaded to resist bending and snapping, and they use a smaller countersinking head that puts less stress on your deck. It is simple hardware done properly, which is why so many shops and skaters keep a set in the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length bolts do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor a standard deck with no risers, 7\/8\" or 1\" is right. Add 1\/8\" risers and go to 1.25\". Bigger risers or thick decks need 1.5\" or longer. You want the bolt to come through the nut fully without sticking out far past it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllen or Phillips bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAllen bolts use a hex key, which grips better and is less likely to strip, and most skate tools have one built in. Phillips bolts use a screwdriver, which is easy to find anywhere. This set is Allen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bolts are in a pack?

You get 8 bolts and 8 nuts, which is exactly what you need to mount two trucks (four bolts each) to one deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are Shorty's bolts half threaded?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeaving the top half of the shaft smooth makes the bolt stronger, so it's less likely to bend or snap when you land hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Twelve Board Store\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Expert skate advice from real riders, 7 days a week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Easy returns for a hassle-free experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Huge range of skate, snow \u0026amp; electric gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Proudly Australian owned \u0026amp; operated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShorty's.
