Park Tool Benchtop Overhaul Mat Blue, One Size

This is a very nice rubber-like PVC mat for placing bike tools and small parts. The Park Tool website dimensions state, 13.2" x 9.25" x 0.25" and this looks right. I posted some photos for scale. The fit and finish is excellent. Park Tool currently offers a larger mat called the OM-2 which is light blue and doesn't have the compartments. I think Park Tool should make this model in a medium and large size as well.

This Park Tool rubber work mat is durable, thick, well made, and has a useful design. The molded rubber design is of good quality, and the recessed and dished compartments are great for temporarily holding small parts like screws or ball bearings. This is also a great place to contain greasy and dirty parts because the mat can be washed. For the price this is a good value and a fun but useful item to have for your workbench.

Awesome, durable, sturdy bench-top mat. I have mine on my red, stacking tool box and it looks super slick.However, why (for the love of all things holy) can't anyone get the dimensions right for this thing? One part of the description reads, "14.7 x 7" and another section of the same web page reads, "14 x 10 x 1." Actually, it is NEITHER! This mat's true dimensions are 13 2/8 inches by 9 1/4 inches EXACTLY! Which is cool, because that is also exactly the perfect size for my work space.High quality and seems like it will last for a long time. Super happy with purchase!

I purchased the Park Tool Benchtop Overhaul Mat because of concern regarding organization of components during bicycle maintenance which has occasionally been a problem for me. It works fine with the Park Tool PB-1 Portable Workbench.

This seemed like a splurge but totally came in handy for my air can service this week. Great layout, thick rubber holds its shape and doesn’t slip out on surfaces. Made to last like the Park tools that will more than likely work on this mat.

I love my Park tools, and I tend to only buy them. I bought this to kind of match all of the other Park branded things I have, but it is way overpriced for what it is. You can buy a generic one what does the same thing, with the same quality for much cheaper. That being said, it is a quality mat, and the storage areas are great when you are repairing bearing, etc. Ive used it a couple of times to rebuild pedals, and it has worked flawlessly in that capacity. I do wish it were maybe 6" bigger all the way around, but that want a deal breaker. Once you swallow the price and no longer think about it, it just works well.

I lose a lot less small bolts now. Edges curved up to keep them from rolling out. Nice addition to the garage.

Small but great useful mat for your bike work station. High quality, as you would expect from Park Tools. Has depressions to keep small items such as bolts from falling and getting lost.

Es exelente para poner piezas pequeñas y trabajar eficientemente, todo banco de trabajo debe tener uno.

Für Kleinteile als Ablage, geil! Hab es nicht unbedingt gebraucht, wollte es einfach haben, weils auch gut aussieht in der fachgerechten Werkstatt

Super comodo per appoggiare vitine e non perderle mentre si fa manuntenzione alla propria bici, costoso ma troppo figo !!

Park Tool OM-1 has been thoughtfully designed for the servicing of bicycle components. These parts are usually not that large, for example a derailleur or a brake caliper. So this work mat has dimensions that are appropriate to the task. It's not intended for bigger parts like a fork, Park do a different product for those jobs, the OM-2.Separated organiser areas keep the parts in order as you dismantle a component. Making it easier to reassemble in the correct order, and not lose anything in the process. The thick heavy rubber feels substantial and should last for years. Presumably it is grease, oil and degreaser resistant. The work area has a grid of raised dimples making it easier to apply some force to a component without it slipping.I service my bikes regularly and never use a LBS. I have to do this on the patio as I've nowhere else suitable. This workmat has therefore been a revelation. It keeps all the tiny parts like washers and bolts safely in order and makes servicing easier and less stressful.For my use it is an ideal size. It fits inside my toolbox, and when working on a component I haven't needed a bigger work area or more organiser pockets. If you had multiple components disassembled at the same time then you might run out of space.My only criticism of the design is that the top left corner seems wasted, it just has a recessed circle detail which I don't understand what it's function is supposed to be. Perhaps a place to put a magnetic bowl? If this area had been cut down to be a circular hollow it could have had more use.I've marked it down to 3 stars regarding value for money as £25 is excessive considering the materials involved and cost to manufacture. But Park have the market to themselves and I couldn't find any other alternatives. I did consider a soldering mat which are cheaper and available in many sizes, but I'm glad I bought the Park Tool in the end. It is fit for purpose and designed by a company that understand the jobs it will be used for. If it lasts me for a few years then I would likely buy it again as it is very good.

Nice
