Great starter...
Assuming swix is a gold standard, this is an all inclusive stater kit that balances a complete kit versus extremely high up front cost of going all swix. I personally feel like the beast base edge runner device is overrated. The included 1° beast device doesn't match a swix world cup pro 1°. The beast was greater than 1° both in measurement and when retuning with Swix base device. Otherwise everything works. Each included wax is enough for about 8 tunes. I was disappointed that it's considered swix cleanup or maintenance wax and not a performance or race wax but a marked improvement was immediate felt on the boards over the previously used glide on tune-up wax. The included Toyo file is simply inferior in size and quality to the comparable swix edge file. The 2nd immediately worthy upgrade. Other needed items include plexi scraper sharpener. Maybe 8 or 10 uses and the plexi scraper is worthless without re-sharpening. Also, a sidewall clearer. I have yet to use it, but there was a fair amount of sidewall material present in the material shavings after tuning a few pairs of skis. The rubber foot on the clamp punctured at the point of contact with the edge sharpener guide. Damage was averted by sliding the rubber foot a few millimeters off the foot getting intact rubber to prevent damage to the edge tuning device.
Therefore if you're trying to build a functional kit, this kit is a great starting point. If your trying to build one kit to last knowing diamond stones, gummi stones and wax wear out and need replaced, I would personally build one kit out of the best quality items. I would even buy some of those items used versus new middle tier.
As someone that heated up a pot on the stove for years and years of waxing duty and did it successfully and handily repurposed general tools for tuning, then the specific tools better offer a clear cut advantage. For edge tuning this kit is a start with the particular upgrades mentioned above. For waxing, the digital iron, base surface repair capability, scraping and brushing, this kit was completely capable. New school swix brushes are considered better but I have yet to see it in person. I highly recommend this kit, it's just too bad this is the highest quality kit offered by racewax which is barely capable of tuning race skis as delivered. I'm sure higher quality is not financially viable as a kit, but racewax should not market this as such. I highly recommend this over other available highest quality starter kits readily available from online retailers. -
Everything you...

Great Kit
Great Kit - Better Versatility This kit is more versatile in the long run. Why? Because you can use any length files with the side edge plates and the Beast bottom edge device. My friend has the swix edge and bottom all in one red tool and he loves it. So that kit works well too. I like this one better. Tuned and waxed to pair and I am very happy with results. Also glad to support a small family business. Nice Card you sent me. Thank You.

Overall
I just received this kit. It is absolutly fantastic. It has everthing you need to get started. One reason I bought this one was for the 3 side edge plates. The plates vs the device. The plates allow me to use differenct size files and diamond stone sharpening tools. Its a bit harder to get use to using vs the all in one swix tool, but I feel in the long run its worth the upgrade in price and versitility. Thanks RaceWax for the great package at a great price. Oh yea give them you emial and save 10 percent! $188 Great Deal!
