True one piece runner tool

[benner33]

So I found a great looking pair of True one piece skates on SidelineSwap and they look like they weren’t baked at all (for the record I wanted to try the two and one piece used where I could get them cheep to decide what I wanted custom wise before dropping $1k). 
 

One bummer, no runner tool. Anyone have these skates and have suggestions or images of what the tool looks like? I hate using my Sparks without the runner holder.

if its the same tool as for the 2 piece its just a long socket key - 8mm

It is.  If you want the exact tool look for a 8mm socket with a 1/4" drive at the other end.

If you get a nice enough used set of True skates, you don't need to order a brand new custom pair at all depending on your foot. 

I got my 2-piece True skates used and once I baked them properly they were great. No need to get another pair of brand new True skates. I saved a lot of money that way which was nice.

And random question: The runner tool for the true skates. Would that socket be the same type used for these Bauer Vertexx cowlings? Asking because I've never had removable blades before so I'm unsure of what socket to use if/when I need to repalce these blades. Thanks!

IIRC I used a 5/32" socket on my Bauer cowlings.

Yeah the ones I just got seemed like they weren’t baked at all. I did it at home and just had a skate with them and they fit amazingly.

So I tried the two 8mm bits I have and they don’t quite fit into the slot. Oh well I know what I’m looking for now thanks everyone.

I have a few 8mm sockets as well and the wall seems too tick to fit in there as well. Anybody found a  solution or do I have to buy the True/Step tool to do it>
