Choosing Tuning Kits

Kit content comparison for RaceWax Ski or Snowboard Tuning Kit
About RaceWax kits:

We have completely revamped our kits for 2020.
All kits contain the essentials for tuning both skis and snowboards. You no longer have to choose one or the other; all kits do both.
There are two kit configurations:

A large size bag with a comprehensive set of tools and accessories, including a wax iron, edge tools, wax, and base repair (the kits can be further configured with a ski or snowboard vise).
Specialized kit combinations that focus on a particular aspect of tuning (e.g., edges, wax removal, base repair, etc.).

The major differences in kit functionality centers around the edge tools and brushes. Here is a quick comparison:

Universal kits have an easy to use basic tool that sets and sharpens the side edge at the angles most commonly used for ski/snowboard; a buffing pad is included for wax removal. The tool in this kit (as well as the Diamond kit) is the best tool for wavy-edged boards made by LibTech and MagneTraction.
Diamond kits has the same side-edge-only edge tool as above in the Universal kit but also includes a diamond stone for routine sharpening; for wax removal a full-size nylon brush is included.
Elite and Elite-Digital kits have an edge tool that will set and sharpen the both the base edge and side edges to a total of 9 different angles with high precision, and includes a diamond stone, as well as a full set of three wax brushes. The Digital kit has all the same tools and supplies, the difference being that the iron has a digital readout.
Pro kits are most similar in content to the Digital kit above with the exception that they replace the all-in-one multi-angle edger with a set of traditional fixed angle edge tools. This kit is a good choice for those expecting to expand their tool kits beyond common recreational use.

What do the tools do?

edge tool sets angles for boards and skis
diamond stone is used to maintain edge sharpness weekly without wearing down your edges
wax scraper removes excess wax to improve glide
metal scraper and ptex are to repair base gouges
gummi stone is for edge rust removal, detuning, and burr removal
file brush used to keep files free of metal waste from edge work
brake retainer holds the ski brake during edge tuning
