The ICON magnetic tool mat

I got the #icon magnetic mat from #harborfreight. I don’t know why, I didn’t even want it. Peer pressure perhaps. I couldn’t turn on YouTube without seeing this fecking thing every second or third video. What am I even going to do with it? I have flat surfaces, I’m not running around the workshop at such high speeds that I’m afraid my tools are going to fling themselves at cars. I’ve worked for years on cars and have maybe left 2 tools in an engine bay that whole time. So what use is it? I got the second last one in my store this morning. People were rushing in to get it. It’s a cloth with magnets in it people! Anyway, I got it, half price, today only ONE per customer, you know in case you needed more to stick all over the cars your working on, heaven forbid you might just use your trolley or tool cart. It’ll be here all day with these heavy items on it, let’s see if a magnet can hold up metal things! If you feel aggrieved that you didn’t get yours, this one may be for sale, at original — what I paid for it plus P&P — price, if it pisses me off enough and starts collecting swarf and other scratchy materials — as I suspect it will.
