Swix

I am just getting started with skate skiing. After a lot of researching on-line, the Swix Ultimate Nordic Tuning Kit was what I needed to begin waxing. Easy set up with products that were advertised accurately. Sierra Trading Post had the best prices by far!

This was best package at great price that included both a pair of vises and an iron. The edge tuner is just OK but definitely gets the job done. Could see picking up a better edge tuner and possibly another brush to supplement. The vises are easy to use and seem well made. The iron is basic but works great. Has a decent size block of wax, should be enough to wax 6-8 times.

If you're looking to start tuning your own gear, I'd suggest peace-mealing from local shops instead of buying this kit. While the ski vices work great (don't know what these other dudes are talking about...I ride a pair of Gotama's which are 108 under foot and they work great), a lot of the other equipment in this kit needs to be upgraded if you plan on improving your tuning abilities. File and holder are useless, and the brush is pretty small for larger and wider skis. In hindsight I should have just went to my local shop and bought from them. Not to mention they can give you some great insight into the tricks of the trade
