Sturdy vise that makes waxing easy
Had a Ski Man snowboard vise before and absolutely hated it as it was a pain to push in and pull out for edging (as it is set, no adjustment can be made like this one). Bought this with the member coupon and totally scored. I use this with the Swix tuning bench. Top grips the board so well it does not slide at all when scraping, buffing and edging. I also used this for my skis. I cushioned the bottom of the groove with a rolled up wash cloth to elevate the bottom surface so that I can still stablize the ski with the top clamp while edging. You can't find it used anywhere because everybody loves it and keeps it. When you see a certain used item listed on eBay or CL by multiple users it's a sign that it does not work well.
Make sure to but two.
Purchased this vice online, I was surprised when it showed up and there was only one in the package. For $90 you would think you would get two vices. Then it turns out that the c-clamp only opens 2.5 inches, half an inch short to fit on my work bench. Lame.
Good but not great
So its is for Snowboards and that is what it said on the box, but I was really hoping that it could be used for both Skis and Snowboards. I have used for both but the Skis can tend to fall between the pads and move. On my powder skis it works fine and on snowboards its a champ but on narrow skis its a pain. That said, it has made cleaning up the edges and waxing a much easier job.
Great Product!!
The right tools makes the job alot easier! Your board or ski's will stick to the top of the vise like glue. This is great for when scraping the wax off your board/skis. No more asking someone to hold the board while you scrape! I use this for my snowboard and its perfect. This is a another sturdy, well made product from Swix.
Good vise set for the money
The clamp design isn't flexible enough to use on folding tables and such (for those whom are more storage deficient)...so, a long sturdy table or a waxing table is a must. Other than that... it's a vise for a decent price that works with both snowboards & skis
Great Vise.
These are great tuning vises. They extend to be super wide for snowboards. Another great feature is how you lock the clasps. You don't tighten it like screws to close, so you won't inadvertently crush your board.
