This little iron is a great choice for tuners who need a no-frills waxing tool that just gets the job done. We tested a number of less expensive irons available and this one came out on top. It has a thick aluminum base plate, a consistent temperature and is very ergonomical. The compact size makes it a great second iron for travel. 800 watts provides plenty of power.
YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK. The backcountry is DEADLY. A beacon, shovel and probe are REQUIRED for safe backcountry travel. DO NOT leave home without them and a proper understanding of their use. Have a thorough knowledge of snow safety and current avalanche conditions BEFORE putting yourself and others at risk.
