Preciva Soldering Mat, 500℃ Heat Resistant Silicone Work Mats, Multi-Purpose Magnetic Electronics Repair Pad for Welding and Solder Station with Ruler and Screw Notches, 450 * 300mm

I bought this mat because I had been using a piece of wood as my soldering cover for a long time - and it was really time for an upgrade.The Preciva Soldering mat is overall very nice - it is thick, so you can use it being sure that you won't damage the surface on which you use it.· It protects my table top from damage by the soldering iron and chemicals.· It has lots of areas to hold small parts + it has a magnetised area.This is probably the perfect mat to use for jewellery or repairing mobile phones – as it has many places you can organise small components and screws.· The things I solder are typically very tiny and I was having issues with constantly dropping parts or having them roll onto the floor – No more with this mat everything stays where I can see it.· It smelled a little funny at first but it was as fine after I let it air out for a couple hours.👉 I've been using this mat for about 2 months now, and I really like it!It has convenient holders, resists high temperatures, and does everything I need it to.☑ Pros:✔ Can withstand high temperatures✔ Many slots to store elements / small screws etc.✔ Anti-slip design✔ Flexible and durable❎ Cons:- none(I will update if I find anything on continuous use)Highly recommended!

I am a nerdy tech gadget maker and this is great. It allows me to be nerdy in more rooms in my house now I've mounted on a board so it's mobile while not as floppy as a dead fish. Each area is great, little flaps to cover your nuts or anything else you choose. Really is heat resistant too, so all round a good little station. Just mount it on a board for multi room nerdy fun.

I’ve got this for my work , this really helps me to be more organised and stop hunting around for the small parts I’ve just dismantled.The mat is made from a high heat resistant silicone, it has magnets embedded in a couple of the small parts side traysIt has 3 small lidded compartments and places for screwdrivers and small tools,It has a very small raised edge which helps contain the paints you are working on.I’ve been using this for just over a week and without a doubt it has helped me organise and keep things all together.I can’t believe it’s taken me this long before I’ve purchased something like this.

Well, I bought this out of necessity because I need to fix an Amazon Kindle Fire that isn't working because the charger jack is loose.In the past I would have put screws into a plastic takeaway container and hoped for the best when taking all the screws out, and that I would know exactly where each one would go once it's time to reassemble.The parts on the Kindle Fire are very small so it would be easy to lose them.Fortunately, this mat is extremely well thought out. There are magnetic compartments for screws and individual and numbered indented squares where you can place the screws in the order you remove then, meaning when you reassemble you just have to put them back in the reverse order to make sure they all go in the right place.It's so easy!I like the fact that this is made of a thick and flexible material that makes it much safer to use a soldering iron without causing a fire or damaging a surface and that means it can be easily stored.I have a few products by Preciva and I am never disappointed. I have knocked off one star because they have been a bit ambitious with the magnetic ring that goes in the middle, even though it comes with 3M VHB adhesive, as soon as you move the mat it falls out. As I am not sure what the answer is, I would suggest completely removing that part, passing on the savings to the customer to make this even better value for money.As it is, I cannot complain. It does exactly what it says and it does it well, good job as always Preciva!

The media could not be loaded. This mat is great to have for anyone that does tear downs and repair of electronic equipment due to its antistatic properties and heat resistance.Please see my video where I test the heat resistance @ 350 degrees Celsius which is the average soldering temperature people use.The white heat marks dissapear real quickly and leave no visible sign of heat damage to the mat.The upper middle compartment is the perfect length to hold KSGER style T-12 soldering tips as you can see in my pic.It also has smaller compartments for the older Hakko 936 style soldering tips.The other compartments are also well laid out, and I especially like the screw position compartment which has 122 numbered holes for small screws from laptops, phones etc..There is also areas with magnets inside the mat for holding screws to prevent you dropping them.All in all its a great accessory to a soldering and repair bench and is just the right size in my opinion.

This is a tough and obviously durable product with loads of storage places to assist in dismantling complex objects. I took a laptop apart, and found its stability excellent for anchoring the thing down whilst undoing lots of little screws which it is then easy to keep apart so that they can go back in the right place. I have not tried soldering on it yet, that being a project involving an Xmas present I can't open until then . . . but I have no reason to suspect that it will not be equally useful. It feels good and solid, and is, I think, excellent value for money.

I love building electronic kits so this mat is perfect for keeping all the materials in one place and protecting the table top highly recommend.
