Anti Static Mat Includes ESD Wristband and Grounding Wire and Grounding Plug for Electronics Repair, Premium Heat Resistant ESD Safe Soldering Mat (17.7" x 13.6")

This mat seems to do exactly what it's supposed to. The thing about static electricity is that it's hard to predict, so it's hard to tell whether I'm just lucky or if the mat works as intended. That said, I'm going to assume that the mat is working as intended because I had no discharges while using it. The mat is kind of small, but I appreciate that it comes with the grounding wrist band and everything. The section at the top has plenty of spaces for temporarily storing screws and small pieces. It seems very durable, and I look forward to using it on more projects in the future.

Very handy mat, I’ve used it for repairing an iPhone and also working on large circuit boards.Nice that it includes connection cables.

I enjoy reloading. I can make better ammunition than I can buy. I use this anti- static mat as a base for my Hornady powder dispenser. Precise dispensing of powder to the grain is dependent on lack of interference from spurious static electricity. This well designed mat provides that for me and my hobby.

Silicon mat is non-conductive so the lead to ground is the only part that is. My Fluke 8060a is old, but very sensitive and there's no resistance to be measured, no conductance, so is the mat really anti-static? The wrist strap has 1MOhm resistance so that's good. The metal back of the snap connection is all that grounds you, there's no conduction in the band itself so keep the metal in contact. I suppose frequent touching of the alligator clip on the mat will have to suffice for grounding at the work surface. It is nice, the circuit board doesn't want to slide like it does on my wood workbench top so that's a plus. Not a bad set for the money, I'll use it, but wish the sillicone was conductive.

It holds to the tabletop surface very well - lots of little places to put screws and small components.

The media could not be loaded. Lo compre por el color y el tamaño, sin embargo, debo decir que cuando estaba soldando componentes SMD se me cayeron varias veces, pero al Mat ser negro eran fáciles de encontrar. me gusto el color y la pulsera. Muy buen producto para usar con la pistola de calor.I bought it just for the color and the size, nevertheless, I should say when I was soldering the SMD components some of then fell several times, but the Mar for being black the components were so easy to be found, I liked the color and wrist. It is a good product to be used with the heat gun.

Thought for sure such a cheap product would not actually be conductive, especially for "silicone", but it is! Checked with a proper 500 volt mega-ohm meter, it reads 20-100 megaohms depending on distance and contact surface area etc. It also holds up to a 400C soldering iron for at least a few seconds, I didn't push it.It does have a faint odor when first pulled out of the packaging. I assume its whatever additives they need to put into it to make it conductive (simply adding graphite in silicone would not work) and more heat resistant than normal silicone.

I like the product. It works well. However, you better have an outlet on top of your workspace. The wires are only around 2 feet long (-ish) and since your wrist strap AND pad both have to plug into the grounder; you have to be that close to an outlet.There are any number of improvements they could have done/could do at minimal cost that would make this a much better option. If the wires had more coil in them to allow more flex, that would help. If they could make the wires at least 5 or 6 feet (or include some kind of extension) with a moderate flex; it would be much better. As it is, you MAY get that if you want to pull on the wires as much as you can and risk pulling it from the outlet (negating the grounding effect) or irreparably stretching them. What is here just doesn't give you much length to work with.If your work area fits the bill, this does well. If not, you're better off just getting a strap and saving some money and frustration.
