Demon Complete Ski Tune Kit with Wax and Brush Kit- Snowboard Tuning Kit

Bought to wax a new snowboard. Just did my friend's skis with this kit. Great kit with everything you need.

I bought this before the snow season because waxing/tuning 3 boards and buying this set would cost basically the same amount of money. The tools were easy to use. There are dozens of how to guides on youtube about how to wax/tune your own board/skis. The iron heated up quickly and I had to actually turn mine down to medium low in order to not burn the wax. I made sure to lay down extra newspaper around my board/workspace, because there's a lot of wax shavings that will come off your board once you're at the wax removing/scraping stage. On the wax bar, it's divided up into thirds. I used one third of the wax for 3 snowboards. It wasn't a very hard process, and was actually rather relaxing being able to do it myself. my only advice? When you're scraping wax off your board, use gloves because the metal scraper is fairly sharp all around - I had cuts on my fingers of both hands without realizing after I finished scraping one board down. do NOT check the snowboard/ski edge sharpness by running your finger along it either. You can use the back of your nail - if you scrap your nail across the sharpened edge, nail bits should come off when the edge is sharp enough.

This is a very good kit. It would be nice to include a base cleaner. Also, when using the iron first time, make sure that its power output is set to correct input voltage level (120V/230V). It was set to 120V when I received it, and I switched it to 230V for the UK mains. There is no warning on packaging about this, but this might be important not to damage the iron.

It’s been a great product so far. I’ve done 5 boards and 4 skis along with re-waxing every 3 trips. Super convenient to not need to take your equipment to the shop for a tune.

I tuned and waxed skis and snowboards in a shop for several seasons, so I can say with some qualification that this is a nice kit to do just about everything you would want to do at home. You might get some base cleaner as well, and if you're in a really cold area or doing spring skiiing, some temp-specific wax to go along with it, but I was surprised at the quality of everything in the kit. Maybe if you'd like a specific bevel on your edge, you'd get a fancier edge tuner, or just pay someone to do that for you. One slight negative was the temperature knob's labelling seemed higher than what it was putting out, but the iron could go much higher than even necessary, so that wasn't really an issue.
