Review on Large 21.6 x 16.9 Inch Electronics Repair Mat - Silicone Magnetic Work Station with Anti-Static Wrist Strap for Computer, Laptop, MacBook, Tablet, Phone and More by Tone Hatton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Numerous label errors and other minor mediocrities

Nice material, good size. According to a recent discovery, it really wasn't sitting on my desk. I hope this improves over time. (Update: It's been about two months now. No improvement since it's been laid flat.) Only three stars because, as you can see from the attached photos, there are silly typos all over the caption; "otar" instead of "other", "paoduct" instead of "product". And what the heck does "tool parts" mean? It only feels half-assed, and they're too lazy to recreate the shape. The magnets are randomly arranged it seems to me. In one of the drawings you can see the right row of sections, with every other section being magnetic. And the magnets are very weak and almost imperceptibly affect the fit of the parts on the mat. There are a total of 4 magnetized areas. Also, the back of the mat abuts the magnets that are in place and there are nasty oil stains on the back and inside the magnet mounts (see image). The ground strap is OK. . Nothing to complain about except that they used raw velcro fabric as the main material in contact with your skin and it's not the most comfortable thing to wear for hours. See image. Overall, this isn't bad, but be aware of the small flaws that will appear during the trip; small bugs that would be easy to fix but for some reason have not been fixed yet.

Pros

It can directly support high temperature welding work and has better high temperature heat resistance than other rubber mats.
Cons
  • unreliable
