Complete Ski & Snowboard Tune Kit — Iron, Wax, Brushes, Carry Case
Product description
This complete tuning kit arrives with a broad selection of tools: a flat file, an edge-tuning tool, a plastic wax scraper, a tuning stone, one wire brush, a 133 g all-season wax bar, an adjustable-temperature wax iron, a polishing pad, P-tex repair sticks and a padded carry case.
The carry case is built to last and includes a loop so it can be hung vertically for easy access while you work. The waxing bar is produced in the United States from a high-grade wax and polymer blend, formulated for use across a variety of snow conditions throughout the season. The original formula was developed in Southern California and remains manufactured there.
Brushes included are sized and intended for specific prep and finish steps: a 10 mm brass brush to refresh base structure and open pores before waxing, a 10 mm nylon brush for removing the bulk of wax after scraping, and a fine 8 mm horsehair brush to clear wax from the base structure and leave a clean finish.
The Demon slide iron features an easy-turn temperature dial that spans roughly 65°C (149°F) up to about 230°C (445°F). It can be set for either 110–120 V or 220–230 V to suit travel needs. The iron is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty; start at a low setting and raise heat only as needed to melt the wax.
Demon United is based in Utah and focuses on practical products for snow sports maintenance—tools intended to keep riders safe and on the hill. The kit is aimed at do-it-yourselfers who want to perform routine waxing, basic base repairs and edge maintenance at home.

Good value for DIY tuning
Kept me waxing all winter and made it easy to refresh wax often. Worked well while I had space; I’ll use it again when I can set up a workspace.

European users: adapter and quality notes
Overall okay. The iron arrives with a US-style plug, so you’ll need an adapter in Europe. Edge tuner feels low quality and not very accurate, but wax and repair sticks are fine. Scraper and brushes work well.

Complete kit — everything included
This set has all the essentials to get skis or a board back in shape. The iron heats well and the case stores extra items. Plenty of maintenance and repair tools for non-pro pros—very pleased with it.

Gifted kit was a hit
I know little about boarding but bought this for my boyfriend and he loved it. He had fun waxing his board over the holidays and still uses it each winter. The storage bag is sturdy and well made.

Perfect starter tuning kit
Great entry set with clear instructions. I’d add a base cleaner separately. The carry case is ideal. Edge tuner feels a bit flimsy but can be upgraded later—scrapers, brushes and iron are fine.

Beginner tips and limits
Great for tuning (not precision sharpening). The files here change sidewall edges but aren’t intended for fine base-edge sharpening. It includes repair sticks for base work. Instructions sometimes use part numbers that can confuse a newbie. Expect a messy scrape step and watch tutorials before starting.

Works for beginners up to experienced riders
I compared many kits and this balanced the most tools for the price. Long-time boarder here—kit paid for itself after a few waxes. Instructions are clear and the iron temp control is reliable. Takes practice to match shop results, but it’s achievable.

Solid all-round kit
Bought to do my own waxing and trims to save cash. After following online guides I’ve used almost everything here. The plastic scraper dulls fast but the stick file can resharpen it. I mainly use the brass brush before waxing and the nylon brush afterwards; the boar-hair brush hasn’t been needed much. I also bought diamond stones separately but they wouldn’t fit the white edge tool, so I used them freehand—next time I’d get the full stone set with the compatible tool.

Solid snowboard tuning kit
Good collection of tools. I would have liked a base cleaner included. Also check the iron’s voltage selection on first use; mine was set to 120V and needed switching for local mains.

Handy set for first-timers
Bought to avoid paying to wax three boards; cost was similar to a single shop visit. Tools are straightforward and many how-to videos exist. Iron heats fast—I kept it on medium-low. Lay down newspaper for scraping and wear gloves, the metal scraper can nick skin.

Simple and complete
Waxed three boards so far and everything has held up. Comes with most items you need plus a few extras.
