Swix Base-Side Dual Edger Ski Snowboard Tool with Metal File 9 Angles

This works great on my skis and boards. It will take some time to figure it out though. Just go to Youtube to determine which angle you want and how to use it. I went to 86 degrees. It's confusing as the directions will say more angle for experienced riders but the degree number will decrease to get to that angle. In my mind, think of it as sharpening your pocket knife. Sharper blade = sharper ski/board edge. Base or edge - you will always slide it on the bottom of the ski/board. It comes with an 80mm rasp that will really take off material. My rocker board was at 90 and I "sharpened it up" to 86. Lots of filings of metal and fiberglass. Set it and forget it. I did not do anything with the base angle as if you mess that up, it's a big deal. You are now done with the rasp. You will want to buy a Swix 80mm yellow 400 grit stone TA400SE $25 for all finish sharpening after you set the angle. Hope this saves you some time on the learning curve.In a year, most of the directions will have been forgotten. I put notes on the holder as shown in the pics. This really helped explain the directions again.

Works so much better than the cheap, basic tuning tools sold in “tuning starter kits”. I wasn’t sure about spending the money for the upgrade but it was definitely worth it. Fits nicely in my hand, holds the stones securely, seems to be holding up well

Works well

Really useful tool for your “amateurish”, quick tune of your skis. So easy to use. Only thing, be gentle, because the file eats up your edges pretty quickly.

Spent more for this due to the name and was disappointed. Overall construction was subpar and the functionality is so so. Ended up buying one of the other brands on here for less and much happier with the result.

Excellent way to keep skis tuned!

When sharpening a few sets of skis, this tool is all you'll need. I usually tune 2-3 times a season, and this tool is perfect. I also follow it with a 400 grit diamond file which can be inserted in place of the coarser grit file included.

Ease of use and easy adjustment
