I've bought my skis, managed to fit in 3weeks skiing already :D but now its time to start talking tuning equipment...(i have serviced them several times don't worry) but any recommendations of tools - have a waxing iron but looking for files, edge sharpeners possibly a wax scraper my ruler is doing the job rightly! Am i better to buy a premade kit or buy these separately and how much should i spend. I'd rather buy cheap crap but I know I probably shouldnt. Also some base fixer..but when ptexing do i need a soldering iron or can i manage it with an iron? im clueless i know!
