Good organized mat.

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023

Was looking for a good mat to use while soldering. This one is great for home use.

I like that it has magnets to hold certain components. I like that it has many small areas to organize your work, great when more components of varying values come about.

I noticed that in Cases where the tip gets near the mat, that the mat is able to hold up well with no visible damage.

I also like that the color has a good contrast with the components being worked on, making it easier to keep things in sight.

Overall these are a good value and a must have for anyone doing small scale soldering.

I wanted so much to like this....

Unfortunately, my pad arrived warped, and this appears to be permanent, because it's been relaxing on a flat surface for two weeks in a warm room and it's still the exact shape it arrived. I finally just nailed it down with some small brass tacks, but obviously that's a no-go for a lot of potential users.

Also, I'm not convinced a few of the details are worth having. There are small (quarter-inch) squares embossed into the main work surface marked "screw position" but a) only the tiniest screws would fit these indentations, b) screws that small are hard to get back out, and c) it interrupts the main work surface, making the right 4" or so unusable for normal work.

I would much rather see these excluded, and a magnetic strip installed under the parts strip on the left side, which could be used for the same purpose but would easily hold larger screws. Right now anything you put there is in harm's way - it's super easy to knock out of those slots because it has no side lip on it...

I recently bought this to do some soldering projects. And since then been using it for many other types of projects. I bought the magnetic helping hands soldering tool and put the metal plate under this mat and slap on the magnetic light on top of the mat. This works great. The little areas to put screws and parts works well.

Nice mat

Just what I needed. It arrived rolled up pretty tightly so it had some deformation at the edges due to being rolled up. Hopefully it’ll settle out and straighten out. The features like magnet areas and numerous pockets and general layout are going to make projects more organized and enjoyable.

Great for a temporary soldering station

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022

Model: S-130Verified Purchase

I occasionally work on small soldering projects, but don't have a dedicated station for it. I wanted something small and light that I can use for protection that can easily be stowed when not in use. This item works perfectly. It's a good size for small projects. It doesn't slip around at all on my wooden desk and offers some great protection. When I am not using it, i roll it up and put it in a cup on my rolling tool stand. There's not much to say about the product. It's cheap and it works well. I recommend it.

This mat quite literally saved my home from a major disaster, I was charging a lipo on it and as you can see in the picture the lipo decided it didn't want to exist anymore, had this been on the bare wood I believe it would have been a much bigger disaster than it was.

I was able to pick the mat up while it was still flaming and cary it outside.

4 years I've had this mat and it's worked wonderfully.
