Omar, don't have these particular mats. I bought mine from a spool at Lowe's a year or so ago. Boy I wish I could recall the price for you but $4/ linear foot comes to mind, and they are three feet wide. That would make the HF mats a good deal. As far as performance, it sure does help to save my nerve-damaged legs and it's great for keeping my cold natured feet off the winter temp concrete in the garage/ shop. If I lived closer than an hour to HF I'd be there.
Later,
Chiz

Reason: clarification
You won't think much when you first lay them on the floor and step on one but once you have spent a day, afternoon or an evening working on them you will really notice it. After you use them for a while pull them up and see how you like standing on concrete floors, especially during the winter. You will wish you got more mats at the sale.
I don't have the Harbor Freights mats but I have put down a bunch of the interlocking mats bought at Sears Hardware.
IMHO...If you have concrete floors in your shop and spend a decent amount of time there, after you use them awhile you will become very
attached to them!
Just an FYI,
I've found some nice mats at Sears in the exercise equipment department. They are 3 ft x 6ft and run $30 which is expensive, but you can find them on sale occassionally. I got them for $14.99 this weekend. They are mats for EQUIPMENT, but work well in front of the workbench, since they are 6ft long.
I bought some of these really cheap from a PepBoys auto parts place. I don't remember the price but if you've got one nearby it might be worth checking out.
I bought several packs of these a few months ago when they were on sale for $5.99. I was in HF over the weekend, and it looks like they now have two edge pieces per square. Previously, they didn't include edges.
I have no complaints; I appreciate the foot comfort.
One caution, though, is that they have an interlock pattern that may not match similar mats sold in other stores. I found that out the hard way.
I have most of my basement shop floor covered w these HF mats and have been very pleased. You appreciate them @ the end of a long day in the shop esp if you have bad knees or back. Its a good product IMHO. Normally, I think they are about $12/pack.
