Bench and Shop

The Cinch Ski & Snowboard Vise is the most versatile board securing device on the market. No longer do you need to be concerned with side clamping problems relative to various shaped sidewalls and widths of skis (ie, fat skis) or snowboards. You can also secure multiple skis to streamline waxing, cleaning and repair tasks. Though designed to integrate with the Tools4Boards Terminator portable tuning stand, they can be mounted with their included clamps to virtually any typical bench or table.

Additionally, the vise can be clamped or bolted with knobs variety of work surface for easy repositioning in line with the board or rotated from inline to perpendicular.

The lasso clamp coupled with the skidproof board supports will provide years of easy and quick fastening of your boards to expedite accurate tuning, repair and waxing tasks. They also offer enough friction to perform many tasks without securing the ski or snowboard with the lasso clamp.

Your ‘one-size-fits all’ solution for securing all skis (including wide skis) and snowboards. The Cinch vise with included Lasso Clamp can conform to any binding type and secure any ski (including alpine, AT, Telemark, XC/Classic /Touring, NNN/SNS & skate), along with snowboards and splitboards.

There is also a side lever clamp for side edge work on snowboards and fat skis if the pad and clips aren’t enough.

Please check out a review by Lou Dawson at Wildsnow Backcountry Skiing Weblog and a unique method of using the mounting versatility of the Cinch.

After much anticipation, The Tools4Boards Terminator ski & snowboard portable tuning stands are heading our way.

Made from anodized, extruded aluminum rails and modular system for easy sliding and adjustments of T4B (with included knobs) and other vises. With foldable tube steel legs for easy transport & storage. Makes vise location adjustments fast and convenient on a solid, lightweight, foldable, and transportable base. Move around the house, shop, take on trips or get optimal flexibility and efficiency for final waxing and fine tuning at the start line!

Designed to integrate very nicely with the Tools4Boards vises: Cinch, CordLoc, Retractor, BoardLoc & Pro 500, the stand works very well with conventional vises with an additional block.

The ability for the stand to accept bolts and knobs and other attachments of accessories, along with several vises via the knobs provide unlimited possibilities and expedites the tuning, waxing and other board maintenance tasks.

(Keep watching for future accessory offerings.)

Conventional clamping type vises are tried and true for a long time and are the preference for many ‘old school’ tuners. With the advent of sloped side walls, fat skis and snowboards, the width and grip of side clamping vises may not provide a secure purchase on skis and impossible for snow boards. Friction board supports work well up to a point, but adding the highly versatile and limitless shaping capabilities of a lasso clamp type vise or adding the lasso clamp to your existing set up provides a reliable and secure grip to ski and snowboards by conforming to any binding type. It’ll work for Telemark, AT, Nordic/XC skis, Splitboards as well as Alpine skis and Snowboards. The cord can even wrap around ski poles and other odd shaped items that may require a secure support system…..even odd jobs around the house, shop or business.

Often, we receive calls for recommendations for replacing conventional vises since the skis keep popping out while scraping, etc or they no longer work for wider skis. A simple and more economical solution is to use the existing vise to support the ski or snowboard and purchase the Lasso Clamp only, to secure the boards.
