This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I'm a plumber and use this product all the time for when I have to Solder in close proximity to flammable materials (drywall-insulation). Does the job as expected and outlasts some other products I've tried. Quality of material is similar to a real welding blanket.

I am a retired firefighter and I have witnessed several people burning their houses down while doing simple DIY projects. I bought one of these Newtex heat-resistant pads a couple years ago when I started doing a few plumbing projects around the house. I have used the pad several times and it does have a few "toasted" areas on it - but no holes or severely charred areas. I have another project in the works, that requires protection on two sides and the single pad cannot cover both - so I just ordered a second pad. I am very happy with the performance of my first Newtex pad. Some other reviews complain that the pad gets a little burnt - yah, but it saved the house. It is an inexpensive, sacrificial, piece of fabric. Use little nails or something to hold it as far away from the flame as possible to reduce charring. Fifteen bucks is money well spent vs burning down your house.

doesn't hold up to heat very well. only got 4 uses out of it.

I used it for brazing inside refrigerator cabin, to protect liner, it burns easily.
