DAKINE Super Tune Tuning Kit - USA - 2008 BCS

I have used this kit for the last two years to wax and maintain my board. I think its a great starter kit and have no complaints of any of the things included. The iron, scraper, and scotch brite pad are the things I use everytime and they all work fine. I used up all the wax included and it kept my board fast for the next couple days on the mtn. It would be nice if it included a large brush to finish the board after the wax job. BTW i had never waxed a board until i got this kit, buy it and watch a couple how to's on youtube and you will be good to go.

The iron is a step up from an old household iron, much easier to use. The scotchbrite pad works well, but the included wax is a little weak. But for the iron, file, stone, edge tool, scraper, case, and ptex its a great kit and a deal. I now only take my stuff to the shop for base grinds and binding issues

Good starter kit, remember to get some vices to hold your sticks down, two chairs just don't do it.

I love this kit! It is definitley worth the Price. It comes with just about everything you need. I would get a different brush though. The wire brush that comes with it isn't all that great. The iron works really well. If you like to tune and take care of your own equipment, buy this kit...you won't be dissapointed.

Good combination of tools, especially nice if you are new to tuning skis. As you get more experienced, you can add a few more items such as different waxes and specialty tools. The plastic edging tool worked very well but I dropped it on the concrete floor and it shattered. My bad luck, I think. I replaced it at the local Ski shop. Overall a good value and good tools.

get better wax...this wax is ONLY ok nothing special...better wax = better performance

Kit was decent for the price. Did two wax ups then iron crapped out. I would take a chance that mine was just a bad one and try the kit again.

The kit is good for the price, but you'll probably need get a couple more essential items to be able to fully tune your board. For example, the kit only includes a side edge file guide which gives you the options of 88 and 90 degrees (you're going to need another side file guide if you want any other angles). So I would recommend getting a base file guide so you can get an accurate measurement when filing your base edge. I would also recommend getting a diamond stone, gummy stone, and microfiber towel. There is more you can add to this kit, but I'd say that with the kit and all that stuff I named, you'd be in pretty good shape.

Good kit, really has pretty much everything you need to up your performance on the mountain. Would benefit from a file holder. Had to sharpen the bottom edge the old fashion way. Otherwise a bargain for the price.

The DAKINE Super Tune Tuning Kit has most of what you need. I'd grab this and supplement with a nylon and wire brush (the included wire brush leaves something to be desired). Base cleaner would be good as well. But, the iron is working great so far and the edge tool is prefectly fine. You get a lot more for your money with this kit than you would if the stuff had Swix written on it, and most of the pieces are the same.

For the price of getting an iron alone, this kit isn't bad. It gets the job done. The iron is easy to use and has some insturctions for n00b proofing. I do suggest some different wax. Also, complete the kit with some base cleaner (Dakine also has some that work well, and smell like oranges).

This kit is pretty basic but is pretty much worth the price alone for the iron. It's got all the necessities. Unless your racing this kit is more than up to the task of keeping your skis and boards tuned up and running well.
