I much prefer cardboard to lay on when working under a car, but this is way better--YOU know those really big political signs made out of corregated plastic ---they work great and repel fuids ---wipe grease or dirt off and reuse---don't go steal signs---but after the election is over NOBODY- especialy the losers -wants to go remove signs--don't take the t posts just the signs--they last a long time easy to store and priced right---this works best on offices with longer terms---shorter term offices sometimes reuse them--if you any doubts make removal arrangements with the campaign---also ---VOTE YOUR HOBBEY--
No, the very best are those new unused FedEx 3 sided cartons, GREAT shipping company! Just the right amount of gloss so you can slide under a car with ease. far better than a creeper IMO. Bob
I used a door off an old fridge for years, simply remove the internal moulding and handle, lightweight, tough and warm in winter.
I've got a couple of rubber backed, carpeted "entry" mats from the local uniform rental place that I use. They aren't too easy to slide on but, they are warmer in the winter and with the rubber backing even in a wet floor they won't soak through. The two that I've got were given to me by the uniform guy because they were slightly damaged along the edge and they take them out of service when they are worn or damaged. Doc
I use almost anything, but the sign usage is a good one I'll have to try. I only see the small ones around though. I grab cardboard boxes from the local bike shop most of the time. I have a piece of masonite (peg board) I've been using for years. The holes let out things that get spilled on it, but they also let in grit and worse if you work on dirt. Bob
Rubber mat from bed of pickup. Local discount place had some seconds one time for $5. Been using it for years. Roll it under the car, wipe it off when done. No stones poke thru.
I know a guy who uses s****s of carpet he gets from a carpet store. Warm in the in winter that's for sure and soft to lie on.
Oh my GAWD! thats funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats what i use,when they're trashed they get trashed ,that & if i'm gonna get carpet burns i might as well be having fun!
I've used 2'X4'X1/2" styrofoam suspended ceiling panels (used). Light, cushy, easy on the old bones. They get mucked up, toss 'em & break out another. DO NOT use a torch around 'em though...
funny...but prolly not what your thinking this is pretty tough used as insulation for about anything!double bubble with both sides foil backing bout $30.00/100' roll
I use those interlocking foam mats. Get a package of them and you'll find them to be really handy. They're about 1/2" thick and lightweight.
I use the carpeted floor mat with a rubber liner from an OT van. It was from the 2nd or 3rd seat floor. Great. I carry all the time. In fact, I used it yesterday to get picture of the steps of my new to me MH that needs some minor upgrades. It works extremely well on the packed gravel lot. Keeps you dry too after a rain. Easily found at the local piknpull and the like.
Roll-up foam yoga mats..about 5/8" thick..5' long.....WallyWorld $7..lotsa colors...even comes with straps to roll it up and store in the trunk
Don't forget, the '****s hate the oil industry; what better use than to rub their faces in the oil stains in your garage!
