Large Heat-Resistant Work Surface
The 39cm × 28cm silicone mat handles temperatures up to 500°C—hot enough for any soldering or hot air rework task. Work directly on the surface without damage.
What the mat protects against:
→ Soldering iron contact → Hot air gun heat → Solder splashes → Flux residue → Component drops
No more scorch marks on your desk. No more hunting for a heat-safe surface. The entire work area handles whatever temperature you’re running.
Five Flexible Helping Hands
Stop trying to hold boards steady with one hand while soldering with the other. Five adjustable arms position components exactly where you need them.
Flexible arm features:
→ Bendable metal arms hold position → 11 slots for complete positioning freedom → Tool-free installation—no screws needed → Adjust angles and heights instantly → Remove and reposition as needed
Set up your board at the perfect angle. Hold wires in place for soldering. Position multiple components for assembly. The arms stay where you put them.
Rubber-Covered Alligator Clips
The alligator clips include thickened rubber covers for safe component handling:
What rubber covers prevent:
→ Scratching jewellery and delicate items → Short circuits on live boards → Damage to PCB traces → Marking soft metals → Crushing delicate wires
Grip firmly without damage. Essential for working with finished products, jewellery, and sensitive electronics.
Multi-Function Mat Design
The silicone mat isn’t just a heat shield—it’s a complete workstation organiser:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 0-10 inch ruler | Measure components and spacing without extra tools |
| Screw positions | Organised storage for small screws during disassembly |
| Parts area | Keep small components organised and visible |
| Expanded work area | Room for larger boards and projects |
| Thickened design | Extra protection for your workbench |
Everything in its place. No more lost screws rolling off the desk. No more hunting for that tiny component you just set down.
Non-Slip Base
The base features a non-slip design that keeps the entire unit stable:
→ Prevents tipping during work → Stays in place when adjusting arms → Secure on various work surfaces → No sliding when applying pressure
Push, pull, and adjust without the whole unit moving. Essential when you’re focused on precision work.
