The TekMat cleaning and maintenance mat is a testament to thoughtful design and practical application. At its core, the TekMat features a soft thermoplastic fiber surface engineered to protect your firearm from scratches while resisting stains from grease and oil. This ensures that both your gun's finish and working surfaces remain pristine.
Underneath this protective layer lies a neoprene rubber substrate, offering the kind of padding necessary to safeguard not just your firearm but also any surface it rests upon—from workbenches to kitchen tables—against dings and abrasions.
What sets the TekMat apart is its educational value. Each mat comes printed with an exploded parts diagram specific to various firearms models. This feature allows for intuitive disassembly and reassembly during cleaning sessions without needing to reach for an owner's manual—a boon for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The printing process utilizes dye-sublimation technology, embedding ink into the material itself. This guarantees durability; you won't find diagrams fading or flaking off even after extensive use.
Measuring 17 inches in length, these mats provide ample space for fully disassembled handguns alongside tools or accessories, making them versatile companions in any gunsmithing task at home or on the range. The 1/8-inch padding adds an additional layer of protection against rough handling or accidental drops, all while maintaining a premium feel underhand.
TekMat has crafted more than just a functional tool; they have created something engaging—illustrations that are as informative as they are enjoyable to peruse during maintenance routines.
