Black Stallion® introduces versatile SmashPad™ flame-resistant welding mat for supportive comfort while welding

Black Stallion
December 6, 2016

Welding can take its toll on your body, not only the occasional burn, but also the sore back, tired arms, tender elbows, and aching knees. Black Stallion® provides relief with their versatile new SmashPad™ Flame-Resistant Welding Mat.

The SmashPad™ helps to alleviate the aches and pains associated with kneeling, sitting, and leaning during long welding runs. Foam cushioning provides supportive comfort, while the 15-ounce flame-resistant fiberglass outer shell resists sparks. The 30-ounce silicone-coated top surface is twice as thick, providing greater protection against sparks and spatter, with extra tear and abrasion resistance.

The SmashPad™ is designed to keep you comfortable while kneeling during a long welding session.  Place it directly on the floor, with the red heavy-duty surface facing up. You can double the cushioning comfort by using the SmashPad™ in its folded position. 

Position the SmashPad™ between you and a hot surface for comfort and protection while leaning.  And, the SmashPad™ can be used as an arm prop to reduce hand and arm fatigue. It can even be used for temporary shielding. Stand it on end and position it like a mini welding screen to keep sparks contained or to keep a light breeze at bay.

The 16” by 19” mat folds in half for convenient storing and features a carry handle for easy transporting. The SmashPad™ is secured with flame-resistant hook and loop fasteners. These fasteners allow you to connect two or more SmashPads™ together to create an extended padded and protective surface.

The new SmashPad™ from Black Stallion® is available through independent welding and safety distributors nationwide. Details and information about Black Stallion® products, including the SmashPad™ can be found at www.blackstallion.com.
