Here is a page that shows a variety of irons.

Honestly I got my iron from a fellow bear on Epic. I don't think you can get a better deal than what he has to offer.
This is not the iron I got, but its a great deal and a nice iron.

Trek, having been a veteran of both the non ski specific waxing iron and the ski specific waxing iron myself, I bet that you'd agree with me that the ski specific waxing iron is a HUGE improvement over the "generic iron" for waxing. I was AMAZED the first time I used a real ski waxing iron.

I can't wait to use mine on the new boards I picked up today(I "had" to update my beloved 3 season old Atomic B5 Metrons due to a little incident I had with a rock/stump/who knows what type of solid object I hit in the trees Saturday that ripped a piece of edge out )
