The T8 wax iron enables easy waxing in all directions and 800 watts of power. Precise temperature adjustment from 194° F to 350° F is controlled with a dial that is marked in Fahrenheit settings. The extra-strong aluminum cast base plate provides even and consistent heat, and the rhomboid grooves in the plate improve wax distribution across the ski base. The T8 is an excellent consumer wax iron that will stand up to steady use for years to come.
