content: Hi guys, sorry to bring up this boring old topic again, but I've spent two or more hours over the last couple of days looking for an ESD mat supplier in NZ. I've just made a new work bench, and I'd like appropriate matting. The only guys I've found by googling are the usual scammers; RS, digikey et al.I know there are a couple of Kiwis here; maybe one of you has seen some around locally recently?

content: A couple weeks ago one of my suppliers gave me two mats for nothing because they have a slight amount of sun fade from being rolled up and stored somewhere where the light got to them.They are brand new and nothing wrong with them.They are that sick green colour some mats are and are 600mm X 1200mm.If you want them, PM me your address I will courier them to you for nothing.Happy to help out a fellow Kiwi.If my offer is not what you are after, try Henchman Electronics.http://henchmanelectronics.com/dual-layer-roll-600mm-blue-p-6529.htmlThey have local representation in NZ. Their NZ office is in Nelson.

Thanks Mr.B!I have 2 x 2.8M bench tops, so unfortunately your mats aren't quite large enough.Really appreciate the offer though.Quote from: Mr.B on August 05, 2014, 07:35:37 amAh! I like it.

content: Thanks tautech. Yes, I took a look at the usual suspects. Their prices are outrageous. Thanks for taking the time to post a link, anyway.Changing the subject, I notice thathttp://henchmanelectronics.comalso sell JBC irons. This is interesting!
