Got a board? Get a good snowboard tuning kit

Going boarding? Don't leave home without a portable snowboard tuning kit. These kits come in handy and can totally save the day. What's a snowboard tuning kit? A snowboard tuning kit lets you fix, adjust and tune your snowboard when you're out and about. A portable tuning kit saves you the hassle of having to call it a day due to the need for minor repairs.

What should my snowboard tuning kit contain?

A quality snowboard tuning kit should contain at least some of the following essentials:

• a waxing iron. An easy-to-use iron that comes pre-set to maintain heat will come in handy.
  
• an edge tool. Look for a tool that offers two edge-angles as well as a built-in stainless steel file-cleaning brush.
  
• a Jimmy driver. This patented ratchet, magnetic wrench and built-in signal whistle makes a handy tool that works on every binding system.
  
• 50G all-temperature wax.
  
• a wax scraper. Look for a wax scraper with three different edges for easy scraping.
  
• a carry case. Good kits include a case with nylon lining and mesh compartments. A hook for easy portability also should be included.

Where can I buy a snowboard tuning kit?

Snowboard tuning kits are accessories available in stores and at online retailers. Prices and contents vary, so it's wise to shop around and do some price comparisons.

If you have never used a snowboard equipment like a tuning kit, ask for help. Your instructor or an expert at your local board shop can give you more detailed instructions.
