Product Description
This wax kit includes a 120 volt wax iron intended for use in the US and Canada, if you live elsewhere please see our 230 volt model.
This kit contains the basic tools you'll need to keep your skis waxed and ready in the comfort of your own home...well, the comfort of your garage/porch anyway, please don't wax in your house. We believe in the importance of waxing, and would love to see everybody waxing at least once in a while, so the kit is offered at a pretty good discount.
- Toko T8 Wax Iron (120volt)
- 120 grams of Universal Wax
- Tognar six-inch Plexi Scraper
- Tognar rectangular white nylon brush
- Tognar rectangular brass brush
- Tognar rectangular horsehair.
- Waxing increases the glide of your skiis or board, this is the first thing that comes to mind and scares some folks off, but with that increase in glide comes an increase in control. A waxed base tends to glide more predictably than a non-waxed base, turns are initiated and released with less resistance, and you use less energy throughout the day.
- Waxing protects bases from the harsh abrasion encountered while sliding across the snow, especially in icy or man-made conditions.
- Waxing prevents bases from drying out in between ski trips.
- Brush base from tip to tail with the brass brush to remove any base oxidation, old wax or debris.
- Set your iron to the proper temperature (recommended melt temps are usually printed on the packaging).
- Hold the iron vertically and touch the bar of wax to the hot base, drip wax along the length of the base.
- Move the iron along the base melting and spreading the dripped-on wax (be sure there is wax between the base and the iron).
- Allow the wax to cool for about 30-minutes.
- Scrape cooled wax off the base, as much as you can (the important wax is deep in the pores of the base).
- Brush base from tip to tail with the white nylon brush removing any residual wax.
- Go skiing!

Excellent starter kit
This kit came with everything I needed to start waxing skis for the first time. It made a huge difference in the performance of my skis. The scraper gets a little messy as you are scraping, but the iron and brushes are all you need.

Great kit
The iron is easy to use and has very even heat. The brushes do the job very nicely.

Great Waxing Kit
The iron is very good; easy to set the temperature and the metal base is thick to distribute the heat evenly. Good brushes, good scraper and good wax. I thought the wax would be tough to use based on some of the reviews of the Toko universal wax, but it works very well for the tuning process and recreational skiing.

easy
New to the whole waxing your own ski topic, I ordered the kit and just followed the directions. Everthing went very smooth. The skis came out great and I look forward to breaking them out of storage for the new season, but it's a long wait.

Great kit
Great kit and great value. Components are of good quality, and the kit has everything you need to get going.

Good value
I wanted an upgraded iron (from a Toko Mouse), but the kit seemed to be a really good value. Both brushes work better than expected as the bristles are softer than my current brushes anddo a good job of cleaning and polishing. The iron has good and bad points. Good is the heavier plate which seems to hold heat better. Indicator lights are helpful to know what the iron is doing in terms of whether it is at the set temperature or reheating. A poor design feature is that the temperature dial is hidden under tha handle, so you have to squint at it from the side to view the temp setting and to make adjustments. Otherwise, it does the job it is meant to do.

awesome beginner kit
this is the kit i started waxing with and still use regularly. i dont know if they still ship with a brass/nylon brush like mine did. what i did was take the brush and cut it half between the nylon section and the brass section because its hard to use just the nylon or the brass parts when theyre together
