Kaisiking S-160 Silicone Repair Mat Electronics Repair Mat Magnetic Repair Mat Silicone Soldering Mat with 2 ESD Tweezers and Anti-Static wrist strap for Soldering, Electronics Repair,17.8 x 11.8 inch

Very nice solder mat laying flat and holding up well. It has a nice layout and size. Like the tweezers too.

This is fantastic. Bought it for husband and his electronics hobbies but I think it would be neat for crafting too. So many partitions and a nice since for a work area.

Got this for notebook & phone repair. Its a nice surface. The magnetic strips are great for holding screws & tools the pattern screw holder is awesome. Just drop the screws in the pattern removed. Made it very easy to reassemble the phone.

Its just as it is described. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a quality product at a reasonable price.

Wonderful for soldering. However, if you wont be working with lots of tiny components, like in phone repair, all of the compartments are just superfluous and take up space from a contiguous work space. Instead, if you are just soldering and assembling larger electronics components, I would recommend a pad with fewer compartments or just an equivalent heat-resistant flat pad with no compartments if you can find one. If you do buy this particular pad and later find the compartments are unnecessary for your needs, just flip it over--its flat and the whole thing is the same heat-resistive material.

The many compartments and departments arrh handy and also has recesses for precision tools and drivers.

Better than i thought

Just received item today and as i was putting the mat down i could hear little zapping and when i ran my arm across is just a couple inches away i could feel my arm hairs lift up and minimal zapping, Wrist strap is included but there is no point in grounding yourself if this 550mm x 350mm mat is charged with static. It is not recommend if you are going to work on electronics because of the ability to hold a static charge. It is cut and heat resistant and everything else is good about it except for NOT being ESD SAFE at all! I will be returning as it will not be good for working on electronic components on.

This is a great silicone work pad that I am loving for my RC cars...no more lost screws off the edge of my table

Ive worked on electronics for more than 30 years, and I have always used cloths and paper towels as my work surface when soldering. I learned at an early age that solder can drip off the iron and bond with wood and damage the polyurethane coating on many surfaces. A towel or cloth, or even a paper towel will provide some protection, but a silicone mat like this takes soldering to a new level. This is a generously sized mat, complete with several indentations where you can place screws and other parts to keep them separated. This feature is understated and has proven to be almost as valuable as the protection that the mat provides to your surfaces. Theres also the fact that the smooth, blue background makes seeing your solder joints and components a little more easily, compared to a textured wood or towel background as was the case with me for most of my life. The silicone does not burn easily, although I havent actually held my iron to it for more than a second or so and there was no scarring, melting or burning of the surface. This comes with an electrostatic grounding strap for your wrist, and a couple tweezers for picking up parts. Neither is of exceptional quality but are still nice additions to this. Ive never owned a grounding strap before and would improvise with my own wires, but this makes it easier to just do it the right way. This feels like a quality, heavy duty mat that should last for many years, and the protection and ability to keep your parts organized while you work make it a valued addition to any hobbyists workbench.
