Turn any workbench into a ski tuning and waxing bench with the Toko World Cup Ski Vise. The three-part system enables tuning of Nordic and alpine skis in both vertical and horizontal positions. Turn the skis on their sidewall when you're tuning the vertical edges, and lay them flat when you're sharpening the base edges. The Toko World Cup Ski Vise also holds the skis securely when you're ironing and scraping wax.

Toko made the three-piece World Cup Wide Ski Vise System so versatile that you can turn any room with a table or workbench into a ski tuning shop. The vise system allows you to mount your skis flat to work on the bases or vertically to work on the edges.

Very stable for midfats and smaller

Rating:*****

So far I have used this on a pair of Salomon 1080 Thrusters, and fitted it to my G3 Rapid Transits (91 mm waist). The thrusters want to pop out if you try to clamp the beveled edges, but by carefully clamping the binding they lock down like they were superglued to the vise. Rapid transits took some work to find the true minimum thickness in the waist, but vertical sidewalls clamped strong. I would not recommend trying to use these on any ski with a waist wider than 90 mm, since you will be on the last thread of the adjustment bolt. I agree with Toko that ~85 mm is probably as big as you will want to consistently use these without worrying about durability issues from over-stressing the last threads on the bolt. That said, this vise is built very solid and works flawlessly within the range it is designed for.

The only way to go

Rating:*****

After having used a home grown setup for the last few years, I decided to treat myself and get a real set of vises. By the time I finished the first set of skis, I was wondering to myself why I had been doing it the hard way for so long. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to wax or tune their own gear.

Nice travel vise!

Rating:*****

This is a great travel vise! the c-clamps are very secure and open plenty wide to mount it to whatever you need. I only use this for XC skis which is works perfect for. Plenty of adjustments for whatever skis you're waxing. There's not really a lot more to say. Nice, stable, colorful vise. If you don't mind the yellow, pick it up!

From Toko:
"There is a new version available this year (item number 556003) that opens up to over 85mm, so that It can accommodate some of the wider waists of the newer skis. I did these measurements at the lower part of the rubber jaws. There is probably a little more wiggle room, I was just being conservative."
