Pretty but not very functional

DAKINE Deluxe Tune Tuning Kit

Rating for this product: 2 August 23, 2008

This would be best for a beginner tuner without very specific tuning needs but beware, you'll need additional supplies. You would still have to buy an iron to heat up your wax and stones of different grits for proper deburring. The bevel tool only allows for angles of 0 OR 2 degrees, which may not be fine enough for skiers/riders who want edge bevels somewhere in between or >2.

Petzl Attache Locking Carabiner

Rating for this product: 5 July 10, 2008

One of my climbing instructors recommended these biners by name. The lock spins open and closed easily so that you can do it with one spin of the finger. This can be good or bad: if you're afraid rope friction might open it, it's a bad thing, however, I find it very convenient.
