Styrofoam brand Blueboard. The polystyrene core is sandwiched between layers of slippery plastic that hold it together nicely. Best insulation from cold concrete, wet soil, ice, sharp gravel & uneven ground that I have ever found. It offers a large work surface for tools and catching those loose nuts and clips before they disappear in the grass. It's soft on the knees And never gets it's wheels hung up on the drop light cord or air hose. You can pick up a 4X8 sheet in various thickness (1/2" works fine)at building center anywhere in the country for about $12-$18. Cut it to fit your needs...throw it in the back of the truck(with something on top of course) or trunk of your car. It's weather resistant, takes up almost zero space & is always there when you need it. The only time I won't use it when working under a vehicle is while welding...hmmm not going to do that again!
