Let me start by saying these Threlaco oil absorbent pads are a game-changer for anyone dealing with messy spills. I've used them in my garage under leaky car parts, and they've saved my floor more times than I can count.

The 17x30 inch size is perfect - big enough to catch decent spills but not so large they're awkward to handle. I love that they're perforated too; when I needed smaller pieces for tight spaces under my lawnmower, I could easily tear them down to size.

Material-wise, they're thinner than traditional fluffy pads but surprisingly effective. During an oil change disaster (we've all been there), one pad absorbed nearly half a quart before needing replacement. They do have limits though - when testing with brake cleaner, some liquid did seep through once the pad became saturated.

Where these really shine is convenience. The pack of 10 means I always have spares ready, and disposal is as simple as tossing the used pad. They've become my go-to for protecting shelves where I store oily tools and under all my power equipment.

While they won't replace professional containment systems for heavy industrial use, for home garages, workshops, or even boats (as one reviewer mentioned), these pads offer excellent spill control at a reasonable price point.
