@andymb,
That's the one I've got (also from scottydog). It gets used every week or two and is much better/easier than the old Tesco travel iron

unless you are racing I wouldn't bother with a digital one but a proper ski iron is well worth it. the asda 5 quid jobs burn the bases and dont have a thick metal base to heat the p tex up well... Jens one or homenkhol or vola are good choices

5 quid asda is fine. Any iron will burn bases if too hot. The down side is you have to judge the best temp for you wax as there is no temp numbers.
The upside is they are £5 and you can spend the difference on good file's

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

You know it makes sense.
|
@davkt, @Markymark29, I guess it depends on the skills of the individual.
I've waxed over 100 pairs without incident with my £5 asda iron, so have no reason to think there would be an issue

At a 100 pairs and no doubt many more pre asda safe to say you know what you have a load of experience, the question in the OP suggests maybe the poster doesn't have!

£40 on something that will last many years is not that much is it? Especially when you're talking about £500+ skis you could seriously damage.

@Markymark29, Exactly, have lost count of the skis and boards my toko (£20 second hand) has done.

I have the smaller cheaper Toko and it is way better than my previous iron.

I've got a £30-£40 iron and its serviced tons of sets of skis. Unless you're racing the World Cup scene I think that will serve all of your needs!

I just tried out the Toko (I have the T8 ) for the first time and it's been very decent. It's nice having the heat setting with numbers on (where my normal iron just says "min" and "max"), but also the grooves cut in the surface of the iron making it really easy dropping wax onto the ski, it runs in the grooves and drops onto the ski nice and easy.
