Having this shield for brazing work is a must after trying it. You no longer have to worry about setting fire to materials behind or close to the workpiece. Functions well in that it's large enough to shield a reasonable amount of area when trying to braze from several inches away. It's built well, no fraying or deterioration over use. It looks like the pictures and is priced well for what it does. The included grommets allow you to hang it on temporary screws so it's easy to use.

I'm a bit of a DIYer, and I recently had to do some soldering on a plumbing project. I was a little worried about scorching the wall or burning my house down like I almost did recently, so I picked up this Bernzomatic heat shield. It worked perfectly! I was able to position it exactly where I needed it, and it kept the heat and flames contained. No more worrying about accidental burns or fires. It's a pretty simple tool, but it does exactly what it's supposed to.I've only used it a couple of times, but it looks like it will last a while. It also comes with grommets, so you can hang it up for easy storage. For a homeowner who occasionally tackles plumbing or other projects involving a torch, it's a worthwhile addition to my toolbox.

This is working great. I have used it several times when adding a whole house water filter. It works as expected and protected the studs that I was working around. The fibers are most likely ceramic so try not to breath them in if possible. Other than that, I would recommend it for those projects in tight spaces.

I’m a DIY home plumber. This worked great for my application. I recently had to unsolder / solder in a new fitting and this kept me from burning the wall. It’s compact, easy to store, and should last me a life time for my use case.

This is essential for soldering or brazing pipe when it's in close quarters to wood or drywall or anything else really that may burn. I've had other versions of this that is just a black felt material and I like this one with the foil a little more. The foil seems to help it fold and retain it's shape a little better which means it's easier to wedge into tight corners or weird places while you work and still keep the material behind it damage free.

I've seen guys start homes on fire without one of these, and for what, to save a few bucks? This heat-resistant blanket protects surrounding areas from your torch when soldering or brazing. It's absolutely critical for plumbing repairs of already installed pipes. This one works as well as others, and it's a trusted brand. Get one so that you have it for that unexpected repair. Good buy!

My partner and I were thrilled to find a 12" x 12" protective flame and heat shield that we could use during the winter camping season. We camp in a hot tent heated by a tall wood stove, and the stove piping gets very hot. The pipe stands close to the tent fabric, and if there is any heavy accumulated snow, the tent can sag near the wood stove pipe's chimney exit, potentially causing the tent fabric to come into contact with the hot stove pipe. This Bernzomatic product is a perfect protective measure to ensure that we won't burn a hole through that part of our tent--especially at nighttime when we aren't awake to knock heavy snow off the tent roof.Upon opening this product, it might not look that impressive, or even safe. Don't be fooled--it works just as described and advertised. As you can see from the photos, one side of the mat is aluminum, and the other side is the fireproof insulation. The insulation seems a bit flimsy and will come apart if you do not handle the mat gently, and I imagine after a season of winter camping in the mountains, I may need to update this review to make sure the product held up with continued use. It fits snugly around our 3" wood stove pipe, and the grommets are high quality. It's great the mat comes with a reusable, resealable plastic storage bag.I wish the price point was a bit lower on this item--I think $20 is a bit steep for the size of the mat--but if it's a smaller-sized mat you need to protect a surface from heat and flame, Bernzomatic's product beats having to buy a huge, pricey, unruly sheet of of heat-resistant material and try to cut it to size yourself. The connivence of a 12"x12" mat is worth it, especially with the sturdy corner grommets.

I was frankly a bit skeptical of about how well this heat shield would protect the surroundings of soldered or brazed workpieces from torch flames. Therefore I did a couple of relatively objective tests using the test setup illustrated in the two attached photos. The thermocouple was present to give me a relatively objective measure of heat penetration, and the piece of wood was there to determine whether any scorching or charring occurred when I played torch flames on the white-insulation side of this Bernzomatic heat shield.In the first test, using the setup described in the photos, I focused a propane torch flame on the white-insulation side of the heat shield in t directly above and around the thermocouple bead. As expected the temperature of the thermocouple slowly rose and after roughly a minute it reached 224°F (actually it didn't reach that peak temperature until after I had STOPPED the flame and this test setup thermally equilibrated.Then I played a conventional MAPP flame on that same area, and after greater than a minute the temperature reached 266°F.In both cases, the wood was left without a trace of scorching.My test conditions were arguably substantially more severe than a user would encounter in typical practice. Therefore, I conclude that this product is an excellent heat shield, and I have no hesitation to rate it five stars.
