Snowboard Bindings Tool & Ratchet Screwdriver

Product Information

This guide hopes to layout and explain the factors which can influence what board you choose. All this may seem daunting, and a whole lot of information to take on board. But if you choose a board in the right ballpark, then you will probably be fine. In my experience when I get on a new board 9 times out of 10 I love it! After all it’s new, with nice new graphics, clean base and edges, and loads of pop. The multi-tool also gives you 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm Hex bits for a more specialized use that can come in handy in certain situations. The #3 Pozidrive bit is also specialized, but it will surely pay off when you need it.

Tuning your board yourself is the sign of a true snowmaster and the Outdoor Master Ski Snowboard Tuning and Waxing kit is what you need. You could piece together a full tuning kit — iron, wax, brushes, edge sharpener, etc… or you can just buy one already assembled. Stance Angle - The front window closest to the bindings toe allows you to see the stance angles. Unlike standard 4 hole or 3 hole bindings you can adjust the stance angle by the exact degree, giving you much more freedom to set the right stance for you This one has a bit of a different build than some of the other standard snowboard tools you’ll find. It has an entire compact handle that lets you get a good grip before you start to tighten things down. You’ll be able to make sure everything stays safe, secure, and in place.This tool was created by snowboarders for snowboarders and features some incredible innovation that makes it very easy to use in the snow. It’s lightweight and small but also is easy to use without taking off your gloves. If you’re just starting out snowboarding or don’t want to put much money into what may be a costly sport, for now, a simple basic tune kit like the XCMAN Snowboard Ski Edge Bevel Tuning Kit would be more acceptable. Extras Using the marks on the disc and baseplate set the stance angles to your desired setting. Most bindings adjust in 3 degree increments 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. This was the first multitool I ever bought and still gets the job done. With a #2 and #3 Phillips, #3 Posidrive, a flathead and a small hex (that all fit into the hollow handle) it can handle basically all your binding needs – certainly tighten your baseplate when you get those early season wiggles. And it’s got a wrench. But where I prefer it over the Stance driver and other Dakine snowboard tools is the ability to grip its perpendicular handle and really crank down. One of the best snowboard multi-tools on the market.

The more acute your angles, the more bite your edge will have. Can I sharpen my snowboard edges at home? Pop the channel insert out of the end of the ICS channel in your snowboard. Keep this safe as you will be replacing it later Tool required for sharpening snowboard edges How to sharpen your snowboard edges at home Step 1 – Remove your snowboard bindings The gummy tuning stone has a soft texture that makes it easy to use for long periods of time without getting tired or sore hands from gripping too tightly onto something too hard like metal or glass would do if you tried using them instead.You will now need to adjust the stance angle, stance width and binding centering in one go. The ICS system gives you infinite adjustment options here so this may take a few tries! 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.

Once you’ve finished sharpening the snowboard edge, use a stone to gently rub along the base edge and the side edge. This will scrub out any imperfections left by the tool. Final Thoughts on How to Sharpen Snowboard Edges Do use the correct size screwdriver to ensure the bolts are nice and tight without stripping the heads of the bolts This high-quality edge tool gives you the ability to grind your side edges to a precise degree while you’re out on the slopes. The included file guide gives you the means to make 87,88,89 and 90-degree edges with ease. The good news is that a wide variety of manufacturers are available that provide high-quality waxing kits for snowboards. So which snowboard wax kit is the best? Well, it depends on what you want out of your waxing kit. 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.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. 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. Sometimes – actually a lot of times – you only need a basic #3 screwdriver. G3 knows this with their Shop Tech Pozidriv #3 which works as a great snowboard tool. The molded handle gives you the best grip while the hardened tip gives extra power and durability. A snowboard screwdriver. Simple. But perfect.
