old Cornwell Tool Chest grease?

[ptross]

I recently got an old Cornwell 42" tool chest with plain slides, no ball bearings. What do you guys usually use for lube on the slides?

Wax was the lube of choice on friction slides

I always used white lithium grease.

I've used Door-Ease and been happy with the results. It is sort of like a greasy wax. I've got a couple of the small ones and one big one. I guess mine are vintage now, looking at the current packaging. They look like these.

That's good stuff

interesting, never heard of it, but looks like it could be useful

I used John Deere Corn Head grease.

Snap-on recommends cleaning and rubbing a block of paraffin wax on the slides. I have found it works quite well on Snap-on Kennedy, and Waterloo (Craftsman) drawer slides.
