Snowboard Bindings Tool & Ratchet Screwdriver

Product Information

I love multi-function gear. And it’s pretty cool everything they’re incorporating into outdoors belts these days. 686, with their emphasis on style and function, has created a tool that keeps your pants up and tightens your bindings. The 686 Original Snow Tool Belt has a #2 Phillips and flathead bit, 8mm, 10mm and 11mm wrench loops, and, of course, a bottle opener. No this shouldn’t be your only tool. But it’s great for a day cruising inbounds when you forget to grab a tool and don’t want to go searching for that tool-bench with most of the drivers stolen off it anyway. If you plan on waxing your snowboard too, you might consider buying an all in one wax and sharpen tuning kit such as this one. It’s time to talk more about what you should consider before purchasing a ski and snowboard kit, now that you are aware of what my top 8 waxing kits look like.

Brexit - Shipments from the UK to EU countries will now attract VAT charges and potentially duties & customs fees payable upon entering the EU. These fees are payable by the recipient. Use the iron to remove any dirt or grit that makes its way onto your board, then use the scraper to remove excess old wax or polish and get rid of any remaining debris. After that comes base cleaning: take some warm water and a little bit of soap to clean off your base so it will have maximum grip when you’re out on the slopes.Stance Angle - The stance angle is adjusted by lining up the relevent measurements on the disc and baseplate in the same way you would for a standard 4 hole or 3 hole binding Its only really when you swap boards on the same day of riding that you really start to get a feel for how these differences affect the ride. The kit includes a V-tool and an edge beveling tool, as well as files, which can be used to sharpen your edges. You will receive three diamond stones – two are coarse, and one is fine. These can help you get rid of any rust or grime on your board so you can maintain its quality. Do use the correct size screwdriver to ensure the bolts are nice and tight without stripping the heads of the bolts Insert the remaining 3 bolts and washers (if included) on each binding and tighten them a few turns at a time, moving in a diagonal pattern to ensure an even and level mount. This also reduces the chances of threading a bolt or insert

There are various kits for various types of boards (such as alpine vs. freeride), but the majority include everything you need for basic maintenance, including cleaning, filing edges, and applying base wax, as well as a few extras like graphite powder or glide oil that reduces friction from skating on ice. The kit is great for those who would like to learn how to sharpen their snowboard edges or for those who are looking for a gift for the avid skier or snowboarder in their life. Consider starting with a lower setting and gradually increasing it from there until you find the ideal level of heat if you’re unsure of how much to use. One of the most crucial components of any waxing kit is the iron. Choose one with decent temperature control so you can change it according to the type of wax you’re using and how cold or hot your snowboard is for the best experience.

Often rental shops use machines to sharpen edges. If this is the case they might not be able to sharpen a board with Magne Traction or a similar type of serrated edge. Boards with this type of serrated edge need to be sharpened by hand. The starting point for working out what size board you need it your height and weight.
