It's worth buying, but just barelyApr 17, 2010
For around $25 this lets you do a nice job on your ski or snowboard edges. It generally costs around $30 to get an edge and wax done professionally, so if you can wax your own skis, you've broken even after just over one use.
That said, the "2x2 edger", or file guide, is made out of what appears to be fairly brittle plastic and the file is not held in there very securely. The plastic has started to wear significantly where it contacts the edges after just 2 or 3 uses. I'd be surprised if I get many more uses before the guide breaks. Also the "diamond stone" is not very nice; it's a square of plastic with diamond stone chips mixed in.
Complaints aside, I'm still ahead versus paying a shop to do the work. I just wish the product was higher quality. I would spend the additional money and order the Swix "compact edger" or their roller bearing edger (or try another brand).
