A little practice required, but once the tool is in hand it does a very good job. On prepared and maintained skis it's really easy. I continue to use my diamond and arkansas for an impeccable finish and ongoing maintenance after each outing (I will see to optimizing the frequency of use of the Swix).
Product received without incident, but with a certain delay from GLS.

Easy to handle. Set the desired grinding angle. Should be the same as on the ski, otherwise change the grinding wheel to a coarse one. Grind over it in the direction of the arrow. Removal is economical with the included (fine) grinding wheel. You can sand 2-3 times until the edge is really sharp.

Good sharpener, practical to use, saves me a good half hour on manual sharpening. The sharpening quality is satisfactory.
The stone drive is not too powerful, which is an advantage to avoid damaging the edge.
A note of caution: the electrical connector lacks a reliable grip. Is this a defect in my copy?

Superb pice of kit . Follow instructions and keep it clean . Make sure ski side wall is planned back from steel edge before use. If done properly it will not alter the ski turning radius like just files can . A really great pice of kit !

Grinder is very easy to use with exellent results.My advice is to try first with old skis to get used how to hold grinder for best results with no mistakes for the ski edge.

Excellent sharpener. Not entirely foolproof - you need to learn a technique to use it, but once you have, it's extremely efficient and leaves a great edge. All the grades of sheel result is exactly what you would expect - coarse = quick and efficient, fine = general use, extra fine = very fine polished edge.

Really a great porudit! Fast, very easy to use (compared to competing systems that I had tested). Be careful, the wire is a bit annoying during work (compared to a battery system) but is also a guarantee of durability A slight concern about the durability of the grinding wheel. I hope it won't be too recurring a consumable. In any case, purchase at the TOP

The product is of high quality with a nice finish despite the plastic cover. Changing the different finishers is very easy. Like any device of this type, you have to be EXTREMELY careful to be regular in the passages AND very concentrated otherwise it is very easy to damage everything deeply. It's a hit. The level of finish is very high for the FINE finish. I also do an EXTRA FINE finish for a finish worthy of a Wintersteiger. The field squares are very hard. On the other hand, even if the SWIX videos indicate that it is not necessary to pass a 1000 diamond plate or extra hard Arkansas stone at the level of the edges of the soles, I prefer to do so in order to remove the slight deburring thread. Maintenance is easy with a small brush as explained in the SWIX USA videos and you have to add a tiny drop of bicycle chain oil (extra fine Vaseline) to maintain the spring. A beautiful, simple and effective product for enthusiasts and meticulous.

This product is totally magical.
For years I have been making steep slopes in ski touring and I constantly need to sharpen my edges. I bought a lot of mechanical tools with files, but this is not the solution for with precise and flawless sharpening that you can rely on on slopes of 45/50 °.
Thanks to this revolutionary tool, in a few seconds you can sharpen your edges wherever you are, as long as you have an outlet. it is very small and ergonomic which allows good support in the hand.
I highly recommend this product to experienced skiers.
The Varuste company is the best placed in terms of price for this item and in addition the delivery is very fast.
Many thanks for this great product.

Very efficient, fast and easy to use. There is however a problem: with certain fixings the device is deported. It is therefore necessary to check the distance of the binding (stop-ski and binding body) from the edge. So I can't use it for all my skis, especially old skis with bindings that can't be removed or children's skis. Incomprehensible defect for a device of this brand and at this price.

Swix (€ 350) is a low-cost version of Carrot (€ 1,500). / After a few pairs of skis: sharp edges quickly and easily. Keeps on ice and hard slopes. / Sometimes there is a harder "hardened" point in the square where the file doesn't bite, Swix works even then. Less sweat than working with a file and diamond. / The corner support against the bottom collects the wax and starts poking (keep it clean). Slightly rimpula. No carrying case. A sub-editor may still be needed. Personal protective equipment should be (breathing, eyes, hearing), that is, more stuff to carry. / I still like the file + diamond selections for super sharp. The durability of the grindstone is still a mystery, as is whether the edges wear faster than with a file and diamond.
