For static-sensitive work, you want a dedicated ESD mat, see our \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/esd-work-area\"\u003eESD protection\u003c\/a\u003e collection. Some setups use both: ESD mat as the base, silicone mat on top for soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy do work mats have grids and magnetic zones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eGrids help measure and line up parts during reassembly. Magnetic zones hold small steel screws and tools so they don't roll off or get lost, particularly useful during a console teardown where you might pull out 30+ screws of different lengths and need to remember which goes where. Some mats also include labeled compartments for stages of a teardown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.zedlabz.com\/en-eu\/collections\/project-work-mats.oembed","provider":"ZedLabz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
