Tool Box Liner info Raptor Grap

[James Aiello]

Thought I would share my experience with the purchase I made for my tool box drawers.
I picked up a used Snap-On tool box and it needed drawer liners bad. I did pick up some at Walmart, they were black and worked great but they were only 20" wide and my drawers are 27" deep. So I bought some to try and I had to patch in the missing space. It worked but was time consuming and difficult to work with, taping them together. I finished 2 big drawers and 2 small ones.. went back to Walmart and could not find the liners I bought.. checked online with Walmart and the company that made the liners... could not find them anywhere.. great!!

Searched online for another solution.. came across this place called Raptor Grab..
did a search online for any comments could not find many.. couple on this Forum but nothing good or bad..

So they had a ebay auction for 4 rolls of 36"x6' red liner for $35.99 and free shipping. I already spent at least that much at Walmart and got way less to work with. Why not take a shot.. ?

I ordered it Wednesday the 18th of February... I got them the next day... I'm in Illinois and they are located just north in Wisconsin so that may be why..

Opened up a roll.. seams real nice..
thick 1/8"
strong.. tried to tear with my bear hands..
No strong smell
Same texture on both sides
Solid not perforated ( I did not want any perforations.. dirt can get through)
Slight tack to them.. enough to hold paper on it, but not too tacky.. So it should not slide around in the drawer at all... or tools on top of it.

I will upload pictures of the liners installed as soon as I can ... this weekend..

Well today I installed the liners in my box..

Very easy to work with compared to the kitchen drawer liners that I had already.
Very easy to cut.
No memory of the roll... in other words they laid down flat and stayed that way!!
The slight tack they have helps keep them from sliding in the drawer and tools in place.
They also are very strong .. when I cut just half way through I could not just tear them apart after, had to use the razor to finish the cut. Also they seem to have fibers running through them..

They are on the thick side.. a strong 1/8th inch. I only had an issue with one tray that sits on top of the drawer. could not put any handled tool and close the drawer.. not a big deal..

Also the bright red may be an issue with some of you.. it will show dirt very easy but it seems like it will clean easy..
I could not find any other color but red in the 36"x 6' versions.. they did have black, blue and yellow in the smaller rolls. But since my drawers were 27"x30"
I needed the larger roll.

Overall I'm super happy with my purchase..

I like the red, looks great!. It'll be interesting to see if your still happy a few months from now
. I did mine with that HF stuff, not exactly thrilled with it, but that's what I get for being cheap

[James Aiello]

Yeah I hear you.. I would have bought HF stuff too but it did not fit.. glad I waited to this stuff...
My box came with basically black paper... ripped easy and it slid around too.. nasty..

So I just came across this thread and I know it is a little old but I wanted to throw in my my 2 cents on the durability.

I purchased the blue version of the liner from ebay user mtryan33 several years ago. like sometime in the 2009-2010 time frame. This was before they branded it Raptor Grab.
The blue version looks identical to the red version in this thread and has all the same qualities listed 1/8" thick, slightly tacky but not sticky. The only things that will slide around are very light tools and even then they only slide if you slam the drawers hard.

As far as longevity it has lasted for 5+ years with zero issues and it still looks the same as it did when new, albeit a little dirtier

If you put a heavy tool on it, it will squish down and show the imprint of the tool. The imprint of the tool will go away within a few hours of moving the tool so there is no permanent damage to the liner even from really heavy items.

Just took a look on eBay and found them, but not in blue or red... just black.

Here is a blue one.

Looks like the auctions he has right now are Blue, Black, and Yellow. I'm sure they make runs of them and if you check back later they will have it in Red. Or you could contact the seller directly and see if he has any in Red.

The whole reason I ran across this thread and decided to post was I was re-arranging my tool box and was going to buy some more of the liner to finish out the last 3 drawers. Here is a couple pics of the blue in my black craftsman tool chest. Don't mind how clean the sockets are, they are a brand new set that I purchased recently and was playing with arranging them. My old sockets are well worn and beat the hell This is also the most used drawer of my tool chest so you can see how well the liners have stood up durability wise.

1st one is the whole drawer and the 2nd picture is an up close shot of the material.

James are these a synthetic fabric or memory foam style material?
