If you're a snowboarder or splitboarder, you know how important it is to stay prepared on the mountain. Loose bindings, icy buckles, or missing tools can ruin a great day. That’s where NGtools steps in – a rider-designed multitool created for real conditions and real riders.
What Exactly Is NGtools?
NGtools is a compact, all-in-one snowboard and splitboard multitool that combines multiple essential functions into one durable, rider-tested design. Unlike generic tools, it’s built specifically to solve real-world problems that snowboarders face daily – from frozen buckles to loose screws.
Key Features That Set NGtools Apart
-
PH2 and PH3 bits – The most common screwdriver heads used in snowboard bindings
-
Ice scraper + serrated edge – Easily removes ice and snow from your bindings and base
-
Special scraper edge – Perfect for cleaning wax off your edges after tuning
-
Extended front tip – Shaped to remove snow and ice from frozen binding buckles
-
Built-in emergency whistle – A simple feature that could save your life in the backcountry
This isn't just another multitool – it's your all-in-one mountain companion.
Why the Emergency Whistle on NGtools Can Save Your Life
In critical situations on the mountain — whether you're injured, separated from your group, or caught in a snowstorm — your voice alone may not be enough.
That’s why every NGtools multitool includes a built-in high-frequency emergency whistle. Its sound travels far and cuts through wind, snow, and low visibility, making it much easier for rescue teams or friends to find you when it matters most.
Why the NGtools Multitool Has This Unique Shape
Unlike most generic snowboard tools, the NGtools Multitool wasn’t just designed for screws and bolts — it was created to solve one very real problem:
Frozen binding buckles.
The upper-right edge of the tool is specially shaped to fit directly into icy or snow-packed binding clips. When you’re riding deep powder, snow often gets jammed into your binding buckle system. If left there, it can cause your straps to malfunction or even come undone while you’re riding.
With NGtools, you can quickly clear out frozen clips and continue your session — without worrying about your bindings popping open mid-line.
This was the very first reason the NGtools Multitool was invented. It's not just a tool — it's a rider's safeguard for powder days.
Ride stress-free. Stay locked in. Focus on the line, not your gear.
Before the NG Multitool was born, there was this compact and functional helper — the NG Small Tool.
It was developed as the very first NGtools product, designed to solve a real problem snowboarders face every season: ice and snow buildup in bindings and jammed ratchet buckles during powder days.
The shape isn’t random. Every curve and edge was crafted for a purpose:
🔧 Key Functions of the NG Small Tool:
-
Serrated side – for removing ice and snow from binding bases
-
Front-edge scraper – designed for cleaning ratchet buckles
-
Flat edge – used for removing excess wax from your board base or edges
-
Finger grip hole – for easy handling and attaching to lanyards or NG Binding Bags
This little tool is lightweight, fits in any pocket or binding bag, and became the foundation for developing the more advanced NG Multitool.
It’s simple. But it works.
Born from real rider needs, tested in powder, and still relevant today.
NG Compact Multitool – Burton EST Edition
Originally designed specifically for Burton EST bindings, this compact multitool quickly became a favorite among all types of snowboarders – regardless of their binding system.
Why?
Because of its extended 50mm PH3 bit, which allows you to reach deep-set screws and adjust bindings with gloves on, even in tough, frozen conditions.
Whether you’re riding EST, classic 4x4, or other systems – this tool gives you the leverage, precision, and convenience that most compact multitools lack.
Key Features:
-
Extra-long 50mm PH3 bit – ideal for deeper screw access
-
Glove-friendly grip – adjust your bindings without taking off your gloves
-
Compact, weather-resistant body – built for real snowboarding conditions
-
Perfect fit for NG Binding Bags – always have it with you, without the bulk
What started as a dedicated solution for Burton riders became a go-to tool for everyone who values performance and practicality.
NGtools weren’t created in an office — they were born from real rider struggles. Icy buckles, loose bindings, wet gloves, stuck screws — we’ve all been there.
That’s why every tool in the NGtools lineup — from the original NG Small Tool, to the Multitool with emergency whistle, and the 50mm PH3 Burton EST edition — is designed with purpose, tested on snow, and trusted by snowboarders worldwide.
Function over fluff. Reliability over hype. That’s NGtools.
So next time you head to the mountain, don’t just grab your board – gear up with tools made for real riders.
