Kaisi S-160 Magnetic Silicone Soldering Mat

A heat-proof silicone work surface with magnetic zones and screw slots — the desk stays intact and the tiny screws stay put.

Best for Soldering on a deskphone and laptop repairholding small screws and parts

Soldering on a wooden desk or a cutting mat ends with burn marks and blobs of solder melted into the surface. A silicone mat takes the heat: rest a hot iron on it by accident and nothing happens, and dropped solder peels right off.

The S-160 is also a parts organizer. The screw slots are laid out in rows, so when you open a phone or a laptop you can lay the screws down in the order they came out, and the magnetic areas keep tiny ones from rolling away.

Pro tip Keep a separate corner of the mat for flux and solder work, and wipe it with isopropyl alcohol now and then. Flux residue makes the surface sticky and picks up dust.

Why we like it

  • ✓Heat resistant up to 500 °C (932 °F) — a hot iron or drop of solder won't mark it
  • ✓Magnetic areas and 124 screw slots keep small parts sorted
  • ✓3 small part boxes with lids and a 0–36 cm ruler
  • ✓Non-slip on both sides
  • ✓2-year warranty

Keep in mind

  • !Magnetic areas are meant for small screws and parts, not for holding a board in place
  • !May arrive slightly bent from packaging; it flattens out after a few days
