Abstract
A sports boot tool has three main parts in which a stud key part (5) and a stud compartment (2) sandwich a cleaning blade part (3) to aid the maintenance of a sports boot. The stud key part includes two main types of keys (6), used to remove and secure sports boot studs, by fitting to and twisting the studs. Access to the stud compartment is provided by a clockwise twist-and-release lid (1). The blade part (3) dissects the stud key and compartment parts which includes an inserted cleaning tool, whereby detritus is scraped and removed from the boot, and a boot lace hook at it's opposite end (4), used in conjunction with bootlaces, to hook under and loosen them.

Post matchplay involves the loosening of tight, sometimes wet bootlaces, an irritant especially in cold, wet conditions - a tool to aid this situation would be beneficial.
Ideally boots need to be cleaned as soon as they are removed after playing.
Studs need to be checked before and after every game to remove damaged or secure loosened studs whereby an appropriate stud key is required.
According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a sports boot tool, including the means for engaging at least two different types of stud.
The preferred means for engaging comprises a hexagonal socket and a triple projection.
