I tried quite a few until I purchased Nu-Source liners. Best liners I have come across by far and the prices per square foot are great. ERICNUSOURCE is the screen name of the rep here on the boards.

I really like the Eppco liner I bought off Amazon. Ryan did a write up on it for his Lista cabinets. I bought the 24' roll to line my Husky stack.

Another vote for nusource. Great stuff. I'm very happy with it. Over the years I've had many of the liners from the big box stores and even some snap on liner that came in my used box. None of those are as good as what I got from Eric.

I like using that oil mat stuff you buy at orileys. it works good and if it gets super nasty you can throw it out and get new

No one has brought up yoga mats yet. That is what i use in all my boxes and they come in a vast array of colors. I have got orange,red,blue,gray,purple just to mention a few. and your tools will not slid around when you close the drawers.

Thanks guys
I contacted Eric at nusource.He is mailing me a sample. I should have it in a couple days.
I have to keep the liners thin in my lista because it is a 18 drawer with 3 " of depth.

IMHO, yoga mats are way too thick. Your don't need to waste .250" of precious drawer height when you can get premium PVC matting that's only .050" thick. That can make the difference of tools fitting the drawer or not.

SO uses .050" PVC in their premium KRL series.

You can but 1/8in or 1/4in yoga mats. I just happen to prefer the 1/4in version.

I use those for fender covers. They are cheap and big.
Never thought of that, good call. I'm more likely to use them on aircraft wings though. I did have a couple of 8ft x 2.5ft lengths of that *ribbed on one side* black rubber matting to use. But someone at the airport decided they needed them more than I did & they disappeared...:mad:

Another vote for this, cheaper from Home Depot when I bought it. The 24" width is perfect for my Rousseau cabinet, expect the Lista to be about the same.

Just ordered two large rolls from Eric Nu-Source because of reviews on Garage Journal. Eric was very responsive and will be shipping today. I will let you know what I think when it arrives.

I got my sample today from Eric at nusource today. Awesome stuff. Thin light grippy and tough. I tried to tear it as hard as I could. No go. I'll be ordering a bunch tomorrow. Plus Eric is a class act. Thanks again Eric

How are you liking this stuff so far, and how has it held up the past four or five years? I just contacted Eric to get some from him. I'm VERY OCD when it comes to drawer liners... I'm looking for something that won't let the tools slide, but that won't move itself when the drawers close either, and bunch up against the front or back of the drawer. It also needs to lay flat without taking a set to the roll it comes in. Does the Nusource stuff fit that description? Thanks for any info!

I have used liners from Nusource since the summer of 2019. Very happy with purchase, high quality product and see it lasting a long time. I ordered the KRL equivalent liner. Used a sheet of plywood on a saw horses, razor knife and a straight edge to cut.

The product lays flat, cuts easy. Stays flat in the drawers, slight tack. Bonus, it does not smell like the liner I tried from an overseas source.
You get into a fast production mode trimming the liner and wish I had ordered extra the first time. I found other areas to use the liner such as other tool boxes and accessory trays.
