The humidity of the house is high enough to condense out on the cold tool.. The tool temp is below the dew point of the climate in the house.


Right....so it doesn't matter what heat source or where it is because there is pretty much moisture on the air everywhere. If the tool was warm enough where it didn't experience a sudden temp change u wouldn't get the condensation

Sorry, I meant to come back and report. The 18" goldenrod was a complete bust. It couldn't come anywhere near keeping up with the 30-40 degree temps in the garage, and it wouldn't even keep a single drawer warm enough, much less heat the whole box. It would be great if used in inside temps (e.g., an indoor gun safe), but for a toolbox in an unheated garage, it's a flop. I'm returning it.


Thank you very much for reporting back! Although I'm sad to hear that it didn't work I'm glad I didn't spend 40 bux

Are you saying that a heat source that add water vapor to the room will not cause extra trouble with condensation?

No but I'm saying that theory isn't the cut dry reason that it's occurring
