Swix Universal Waxing Iron, 110V Adjustable Temperature, Red, Large Base Plate

The SWIX T77 Economy Waxing Iron is an excellent choice for beginners. It’s easy to use, reliable, and comes at an affordable price. If you’re just starting out, I recommend skipping the full waxing kits and buying the waxing iron separately. For scraping, I use my daughter’s large triangle ruler, which works just fine. You can purchase wax from EVO, and that’s really all you need as a beginner. This simple setup is more than enough to get you started. Overall, the SWIX T77 is a great value for those new to ski or snowboard maintenance.

Worked good so far .

Very good quality with precise temperature control and even heat pad

This iron is pretty great, it has a good variation of temps on it, and is easy to use. It's about what you'd expect. I like that it has a swivel on the chord where it attaches to the iron. I downgraded it one star because it definantly has to be used I one direction, the irons face is striated with marks from the grinding process and isn't finished smooth. It's not bad if you use it in a straight motion moving with the striations but if you were to go sided to side it would scratch up your bases, I haven't had any problems with it but it's worth noting. Otherwise it works great and is compact, seems durable. Would recommend because you could sand out the striations on the face if the iron if you were really serious about it

great little iron. Heavy and holds its temp for quite a while after shut down (that's good).

I am a recreational skier and I like to wax my own skis. This iron does a great job melting wax and spreading it along the ski. The dial indicates the temperature and the iron warms up in a few minutes. There are plenty of instructional videos on YouTube showing the wax application and scraping technique and these helped. In addition to a scraper and wax, one other thing I bought is a $10 OXO heat proof silicone pad so I can set the iron down safely. There are specialized metal iron holders for about $40 but this is roughly the cost of the iron and the silicone pad is actually easier to use and les expensive.

I have no complaints. The dial is under the handle which makes it a little difficult to see the temperature setting, but the iron works fine.

I read lots of reviews about irons before purchasing this one. I'm pleased to say It works really well having just waxed my snowboard. It is small and light enough to carry in your back pack so when you get the hotel or condo you can do your waxing. Some people complained that other irons don't show whether the numbers are in deg C or deg F. This one clearly shows they are in deg C and the instructions include a conversion table. I like that the power chord moves through 90 deg where it connects to the body and also the bevel edge at the rear of the iron to make it easer to lift off you board if there is any suction when waxing.

This product was defective. The light comes on indicating that it is heating, and goes out almost immediately. It will not heat past 55 degrees Celcius as measured by my infrared thermometer. Also, beware that Amazon is not an authorized distributor for this product. The problem occurred when I opened this product outside of my Amazon return window. Amazon advised me to contact the manufacturer and they told me the will not help with any products purchased from Amazon

Does what an iron needs to do

Works as expected!

Easy to use. We wax snowboards and skis with it regularly.

Facile à utiliser et la cire s'applique uniformément sur la semelle du ski
