YUSHIHU Silicone Soldering Mat, 500℃ Heat-Resistant Silicone Work Repair Mat, Multi-Purpose Magnetic Electronics Repair Pad with Built-in Scale Ruler and Screw Notches, 45 * 30cm

As a 35-year-old DIY enthusiast, I recently added the Silicone Soldering Mat to my workshop, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool for my soldering projects.The heat resistance of this mat is impressive. It effectively shields my work surface from the intense heat of the soldering iron, preventing any accidental damage or scorch marks. I no longer worry about ruining my workbench, and that's a huge relief.Cleaning up after soldering is now a breeze. The non-stick silicone material makes it effortless to wipe away any soldering flux or residue left behind. It's a small but significant time-saver that adds to the overall convenience.One of the features I love the most is the printed rulers and diagrams on the mat. They come in handy for measuring and aligning components accurately during soldering tasks. Additionally, the magnetic areas are perfect for keeping small parts and screws organized and within easy reach.The silicone soldering mat is a practical investment that not only protects my workspace but also enhances the efficiency of my soldering projects. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer like me or just starting out, this product is worth considering for your soldering needs. It's definitely a valuable addition to any workshop.

It's got a lot of useful little spots for screws and such, and it doesn't feel cheap. The silicone is strong and feels durable. The little magnetiser feels like an afterthought just being chucked in the package, as there's no specific place for it on the mat as far as I can tell.I noticed other reviews saying the little pots at the back don't stay shut, which mine didn't at first. However, if you click the rear in first, and slide your finger towards you then they stay shut really well, even when rolled up for storage.For £12, a good buy.

This has stood up to a reasonable amount of use doing electronics and repair work, and the screw holes and pockets, plus the tweezer holes are useful. It's properly heat resistant and hasn't been damaged by soldering nor does IPA make the colour come off - it seems to be proper silicone.It's definitely not anti-static though which isn't ideal for some electronics uses and makes it hard to clean especially when dust gets trapped in the holes, the most effective way I've found is using tape to remove dust or literally washing it in the sink!

good quality, handy little storage flaps and easy to clean

Been wanting a silicone mat for a while and decided to buy this one, this is brilliant and an ideal size for my phone repair. Good quality silicone and storage makes this excellent value for money 💰

I have been looking at various work mats and finally settled on this one.Decent work space with certain areas magnetised to stop screws etc wandering. Compartments with lids are good although you have to ensure you click the lid done properly, even then it may unclip when you do the next one but no real issue. Heat proof but remember it's not cut proof.

This is exactly the same as the unit I've had for years. Thought I lost it ordered another, now I've two.The little silicone doors over the compartments seem to fall off all of these units, but it's not a big deal. They are great for the money. No need to spend more unless you want a brand name on it.

First off great mat, I brought it for soldering cause I have a glass table and I don’t really want solder all over it, there are a lot of different places that are actually very convenient for putting small stuff in when in the middle of a fiddly project I love that it came with a magnetiser/ demagnetiser too. The only problem I have is the “parts box” as they call them, they are great for storing small things but for me they aren’t very useful when I’m doing soldering and trying to close them at the same time, it’s not very convenient at all, also it would be nice to have the screw pad bit to be a bit bigger as they don’t hold bigger screws, other than them two things this is absolutely great, and even with those two slight problems it is very very usable and perfect for all small fiddly projects that you want to do neatly, I recommend this to anyone since it’s great value for money, and it’s amazing in general
