Tool Box Drawer Liner

[David Tabor (sailordave)]

Need some for the boxes I scored earlier this year!:D

Any suggestions on where to get some liner at an economical price?

Sears is OUTRAGEOUS!:eek:

Suppose I could look at Mal*Wart.:rolleyes:

Just thought I'd ask in here first!

... the "rubber" non-skid mat / furniture protector mat you get in a roll from the kitchen dept. might work. I just don't know how oil or solvent-proof that stuff is.

Cork veneer, another roll-goods item, used to make bulletin boards could also work.

Ribbed vinyl carpet runner / floor mat is yet another option.

We have a chain of discount hardware stores up here in Canada called Princess Auto where I bought a 19-in wide 12-ft roll for $5.99. Maybe some of your chain auto-supply stores such as Pep Boys or NAPA will have similar deals.

Cork works great....I gave away a set of those in brand new condition a short while ago....I thought I asked youse guys if'n ya wanted them.....maybe I forgot....dunno....the memory stick ain't working as well lately...no how. I gave away most of my tools and just kept the small ones in a small wooden tool box that I had made from the Lee Valley plans.

I like that rubbery tool dip stuff.

I like that rubbery tool dip stuff.

Talk about expensive. That stuff is about $10.00 a can. And that might do one drawer.

I've used felt (from a fabric store) glued down with contact/weatherstrip adhesive. Only issue is holding water - but if your tools are in a dry location, then NP.

Most of the cheap rubber matting is too thick - takes up valuable space.

Some chain type auto stores have pretty cheap trunk liner. It'd be a bit thick - but tolerable unless you jam the drawers full...

I got a pack of precut pieces at an Ace Hardware, might not be sized that large, but it seems like good stuff.

Carpet backing, available in rolls, would be relatively inexpensive; unfortunately, it is not oil or gasoline-resistant, so it would get sticky over time. Easy and cheap to replace.

how come nobody has mentioned thin closed cell foam...1/8" I think is the right dimension.

Shelf liner, available at all the high end stores-Freds, Dollar General, Walmart...

Not interested in the shelf liner that is perforated. Good for some things but not in the toolbox. I'm looking for something like this....

Just don't want to pay a stupid amount of money for something that I'm sure is available at a lot less than SEARS wants for theirs.

Found it for you at Ace Hardware for $10.50 for 25 feet. You'll need one roll.

I kind of like the idea of cork sheeting. Perhaps stiffen it up a bit by making a composite of the rubber shelf liner with some 3M #77 spray adhesive.

I could live w/ the ribbed stuff for the smaller boxes. But I need 16 in wide for the rolling cart... Hmmmm. Plus the OTHER rolling cart I already had.

I'll check it out! Thanks.

Ya but i dont ever have to worry about the drawers in my 2000 dollar tool box rusting out or drooling grime all over the place and it wipes off clean. it also lasts way long something those little liner pad things fail to do.

David.......The last stuff that I used on the boat was a roll of rubberized "net" material that I got at a shop in South San Francisco intended to be used on boats to toss in the sink or used on the counter as a non skid surface for dishes....I forgot the name of it...but I saw some in Old Town Alexandria a couple years ago just off the main drag in a cook wares shop. The shop is still there....but it's a cheaper version of Williams Sonoma.

Yeah, I got some of the perforated stuff at Dollar Store a while back. I cannot believe how much more some other stores charge for that stuff!:eek:

You doing okay these days Chuck? I guess most of your white stuff has melted by now.

Find Dan Huisjen's new wet suit, and "customize" it for him......:D

I found this stuff on sale at Wal-Mart for $19 a roll (36" x 78"). It is called Gold's Gym Equipment mat. It is about 1/8" thick, black and textured like the mat in the tool box photo. It has a somewhat spongy, non-skid surface yet, obviously rugged enuff for gym use. I bought it for a different purpose- (cargo liner for my wagon), but it looks ideal for tool box drawer use. I might just replace the rather hard rubber inserts I put in my roll-around years ago.
