Was over at HF today and saw a stack of "anti-fatigue mats", pretty
reasonable at 9 bucks for 4 sections 25" x 25" each. Wonder how this would
do for insulation? Ice box, sound, hull, etc.

I'd keep them out of the hull. They may be waterproof because they have
a plastic cover but there is probably open-cell foam inside that could
soak up water like a sponge.

Good point. If I come up with a need for insulation, I'll get a pack and
check to see if it is open cell.

Your health will improve and your IQ will increase, if you stay OUT of
HF....

Actually for rarely used tools, that do not need a long use life, HF is OK
in a lot of products. I have a Multi-tool knock off. About $20 as opposed
to the Fein $300. Works great. But I use it sparingly. Works great with
the saw blade to cut PVC irrigation pipe in a hole in the ground. Little
clearance required. I bought it to help on a Crown Molding boo-boo. That
and my Dremel tool fixed a broken corner as well as installing a new counter
top, to sand a small piece and filer to fit the bead board hole from an inch
shorter counter top. tools I like to use a lot are top flight. Skill Mag
77, etc. But something that gets used 10 times a year for maybe 20 minutes
running, HF. But not drill bits, saw blades as they die a quick death.
