Brady SPC Basic Oil-Only Heavy Weight Absorbent Pad, White, 15" L x 17" W (100 Sheets Per Bale) - BPO100 (4 Cases)

They absorb petroleum based products only. Work perfectly for their intended purposes. At a fraction of the price of the brand name counterparts, I will continue to purchase these over the other brands. I would actually give them 5 stars if they tore on the perforated lines like they should. These are definitely helping my boat do it's part in keeping the Chesapeake Bay clean. Detroits stop slobbering oil when they are out of oil.

These are okay as far as absorbent May goes. I’ve used everything from shop rags to name brand Pig Mat. Work well for brake fluids or less viscous fluids. DO NOT work on coolant. It seems to bead up and not absorb. These also work better as a preventative versus trying to aboarb a spill already on the ground. So if you know you’re going to have a spill or going to be dripping oil these are good to put down first. Not after. They also are somewhat firm and don’t always tare on the perforation not nearly as soft and flexible as others I’ve used. Work well but I won’t be reordering.

I was using an old sump pump to pump off my pool cover. The sump pump leaked oil into the water on the cover. Bought these thinking they would work to soak up they oil. Threw a bunch of them on top of the water hoping they would help. They did nothing. Still had oil on the water and the pads did not appear to soak up ANY oil. Maybe this wasn't the intended purpose for these pads but either way they didn't work for me.

Have a slow leak I can’t locate in my bilge. One under each engine, tore one in half for the center and after running I know which engine and general location. Absorbed oil only. I took off one star because I had to buy 100 of these to get them with 1-2 day shipping. I use them as mats on my deck when I’m working below to minimize greasy footprints

We have 2 boats and these pads work great for absorbing oil and grease under the engines. They do not absorb water, they are not meant to. We roll several together and tie with a few zip cords to make logs that fit in the gullies that run from the front to back of the engine room floor. This is the second time we ordered this brand. a 100 sheets lasts us about 3 1/2 years. This brand offers the most economical value and they work great.

These are definitely not heavy weight as advertised. I use about 200 sheets per year on boat engines. This brand is about half the thickness of 3M and other reputable brands. Not sure I would even say they are standard weight as the in-store brand ones at West Marine are much bigger and thicker. They do what they are supposed to do on absorbing petroleum products but there are nowhere near the good ones.

Great to have on board. We purchased these for our yacht for while sailing around the Caribbean. They soak up oil and diesel quickly and tend to not pick up any water, which is just what we want. If you own a boat should definitely purchase a pack to keep on hand. Once you need them it's too late to order them (and buying them one at a time at a marina is ridiculously expensive)

These pads look ok and will do the job but they are half as thick PIG material hence the reason for half the price. I ordered 200 and the entire bundle is the same size as 100 of the other product. I have not used them so I cannot attest to their absorbency potential. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
