After spending $150 a year just for ski tuning, when I saw this I was so ready to learn how to do this and save the money. The kit does not come with the wax itself but I found it elsewhere on vine so I was ready to cook. There is no instructions at all so I googled and youtube'd what each part was for and how to use it, fairly frustrating beginning but not something you couldn't overcome. I started slow and kept it simple and the result looked bad, but as I progressed to the 3rd and 4th board it became much better. I have no idea how good this compares to others but when it comes down to it, I was able to wax our 4 sets of skis to a point where I cannot really tell the difference between when I take it to the shop. On top of that I did it for a lot less than it would have costed me, so for the kind of skiing my family does this is a great investment.

This is a good, basic kit for tuning up a pair of skis. It doesn't necessarily include everything that's needed, but does include most of the basics.My biggest complaint is that the kit includes absolutely zero instructions. The diamond files include no markings to show what grit they are, so unless I remember what the photo in the original listing said, I'll be out of luck in the future. The plastic holder that holds the file for edging the skis is definitely a handy tool. However, even as someone experienced tuning skis, it took me a few minutes to figure it out, and I learned more from reading other reviews than I did from this listing.The most useful piece of this kit for me was the file and the plastic holder. The most useless piece was the scraper; I have a metal scraper from a cheaper kit I've used in the past that works much better.Keep in mind if you're going to tune up a pair of skis, you'll also need ski wax, an iron for heating the wax onto the skis, some rubber bands for holding the brakes out of the way, and maybe even filler material for filling in scratches.

If you have the Iron and wax already, this is pretty much all you really need once you apply the hot wax. The edge turner is a nice addition to clean up the sides. Around here, the cost of getting your board professionally waxed is around $50. Always more economical to do it yourself.

This kit includes a high-quality edge sharpener and honing stones that will put a razor-sharp edge on your skis or snowboard. The sharpener is a common design that allows you to choose from an 86, 87, 88, or 89-degree angle. The brushes are all nice with an edge you can grip. I wasn't expecting a case, but it is very handy. The scraper is too small for snowboards but it works well for skis.For the $47 price, it is a bit overpriced without including wax but these are decent tools and they will last a long time.

I recently purchased this ski and snowboard waxing kit. It has some of the basic tools you need, but it is missing a few things I would consider essential for a legit kit. For example, it doesn't include an iron or Ptex. If you are willing to spend a bit more, I recommend getting a combo Tune, Wax, and Repair kit, which would be a more valuable option.

This wax kit has a lot of really great items all packed into a nice zippered case. The base sharpener holder and file, diamond stones, brushes and gummy stone are all really nice accessories for hand waxing light tuning, and exposing the base structure after waxing. Nice kit!

This is the first year our family purchased skis. Up until now we've only ever rented skis at the ski area. No upkeep. No wax. No tuning. Just tell them your size at the counter and off you go. Great... but expensive if we're there as a family for multiple days. They've expressed interest in regularly skiing every year on winter break. So we decided to buy skis for the first time. And boots. And roof cross bars. And a ski rack. $$$With owning skis come RESPONSIBILTY. Hah. I seriously never realized how much work they are to maintain if you want to keep them in good condition. First I got this tool kit. Then I got ski wax. Then a hot iron for the wax. More $$$ But at least we can save some money by waxing our own skis between trips. We will get the skis professionally tuned at the end of the season before storage. These ski wax tools will help between tuneups. The current price (Jan 2025) of 45dollars seems high. But I really have nothing to compare it to. ALL SKI RELATED stuff is pricey!

This kid comes with all the basics for bass texturing using brushes and edge beveling and sharpening using files and diamond stones. This comes with a small scraper for skis, you may want a wider one for snowboards. It also comes with an edge tool that's set to multiple angles from 87 to 90°. I like the way the edge tool allows you to set the file along lengthwise or across the base for base bevels.
