Tool Box Drawer liner
I just came across a good 4th of July deal and bought nice Craftsman tool box set. I want to put some drawer liners in them to protect the box and keep the tools from sliding around. What do the CHR tool gurus recommend? I know Craftsman sells drawer lining materials there is both foam and mesh. I haev some liner material in my old box, but honestly can't remember where the heck I got it. What have you used that works?
thanks
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Pat, I get the same material the tool outfits sell at a home/kitchen supply, e.g. Linens & Things or Bed, Bath, Beyond, might have it in the housewares section of Lowes or Home Depot too. It's the small waffle pattern, foam, about 1/8 inch thick so it doesn't eat up much drawer height. Keeps the tools from sliding around and since it's "grippy" it clings to the bottom of the drawer. Comes on a roll, various lengths, 24" wide. Comes in "designer" colors too!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I use a "rhino lining" type of coating, leaves all that other stuff in the dust, can't believe one of the big tool companys ain't done it to thier boxes yet, remember ya heard it here first.Objects in the mirror are losing
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
