Product Information "Toko Performance Set"
Anyone who maintains their own gear will eventually realize that a universal wax can’t keep up at minus twelve degrees and that dull edges cost you more in safety than any wax can provide. That’s exactly where this set comes in: You get the waxing iron, two waxes for different snow temperatures, both brushes for a clean finish, and the tool you need to sharpen the edges yourself. Everything is perfectly coordinated—no duplicates.
Toko Performance Set—Waxing and Edge Grinding in One Package
There are two key differences from the beginner’s set. First, you’ll wax according to snow temperature rather than using one bar for everything: Base Performance yellow covers the warm range from 0 to -6 °C, while Base Performance red covers the cold range from -4 to -12 °C. Second, the Edge Tuner Pro is included for the first time, allowing you to tune the edges. Together with the nylon and horsehair brushes, you’ll achieve results that would otherwise require a visit to a sports store for professional service.

Waxing Based on Snow Temperature
The yellow bar is the all-rounder for spring, wet snow, and temperatures around freezing. The red one gets harder and holds up when the snow gets cold and sharp-edged, and a soft wax would wear off within two runs. Apply the wax with the iron, let it cool, scrape it off with the Plexi blade, brush it out with nylon, and finish by polishing with horsehair. The last step is the one most people skip, and it’s exactly what restores the ski’s texture.
Sharpening Edges Yourself
The Edge Tuner Pro glides over the base on ball bearings and can be adjusted between 85 and 90 degrees. For the slopes, 88 degrees is a good starting point; if you’re skiing on ice, set it to 87 degrees. The universal file is included; for fine-tuning, you can purchase a diamond file later. Sharpen the edge before waxing—never after—otherwise you’ll just wipe the fresh wax right off.
Who would benefit from this set over the Basic Set?
If you ski more than ten to fifteen days a year and can feel the difference between spring snow and cold conditions, it’s worth it. With the Basic Set, you wax using a universal bar; here, you use two types of wax plus an edge tool. If you ski just two weekends a year, the Basic Set is a better choice.
Is the set enough for both skis and a snowboard?
Yes. The waxing iron, waxes, brushes, and blade work the same way for both. The Edge Tuner Pro is also designed for both skis and snowboards. For a snowboard, you don’t need the stopper tape.
How often do I need to wax?
As a rule of thumb, wax every three to five days of skiing; more often in spring snow. A sure sign is a light-colored, dull-looking base on the edges and tip. You should sharpen the edges as soon as the ski no longer glides smoothly on ice or you can no longer feel a ridge with your fingernail.
Do I need a ski mount as well?
For waxing, use a sturdy table covered with a blanket; a waxing stand isn’t a must. Once you start sharpening your edges regularly, however, it quickly becomes a necessity because the ski mustn’t slip while you’re filing. You can find suitable models at ski-shop.ch—let us know, and we’ll recommend the right one for you.
Do I need to buy more wax, or will this last a long time?
Experience shows that two 120-gram bars are enough for about fifteen to twenty waxing sessions on a pair of skis—enough for a good season. The brushes, blade, and iron last for years; you’ll only need to repurchase wax and cleaner.
What if I’ve never waxed my skis myself before?
Then the order is the most important thing: clean, edge, wax, scrape, brush out, polish. Start with a small amount of wax and a medium temperature—the iron should never smoke. If anything is unclear, give us a call, and we’ll walk you through it.
