Talking Bozo's latest find !



Great for all circus floors ! $15 for a pack of 8 at Sam's Club (the Costco equivalent). Does wonder to a garage floor for a fraction of the cost of fancy garage tiles.. I'd go buy some more but I got bills to pay this month!

It's made of foam/rubber about an inch thinck, is grippy, oil proof, and
super comfortable to walk on or lie onto !!! ;-) Just passing the info along...

Agree - good stuff.

Believe it or not, Kragen had it cheaper than Costco - go figure.

Doesn't break when you roll your floor jack over it or use your jack stands? Doesn't soak up your dripped brake fluid or oil so that you can't mop it up? What happens during the winter when your garage floor is coated with salt/gravel/cinder droppings (right now when it's above freezing I get the hose out and "wash" it out and down the driveway)?

Let us know in a year what your impressions are; stuff's too new right now to endorse it.

I use that stuff in front of my workbench; it's much better on my feet than the hard concrete floor. I've not spilled any chemicals on it, so not sure how it will hold up then. I have left marks in it from heavy items, though.

Still, at ~$7.00 for 4 squares, it's hard to beat.

Ray, as you can see ont he picture, I use the stuff in front of my cars, around the workbench and around the lift. I have not driven on it....Nor would I jack the car on it... Seems to me it would damage it quickly, but for $45 it spiffed up my garage work area in 5 minutes.

i have no idea if one could use it under the cars. another use is to tie 2 togetehr and you have a comfortable crawler to work under your car... Hope this clears it up...
