What Do You Use to Hold Down Liners?

[BQuicksilver]

I have been doing a bit of toolbox 'renovation' lately and would like my liners to not twist/wrinkle/move with drawer closing. How do you guys fix that issue?

I'd prefer something non-permanent in case i need to lift a liner for new or cleaning.

How about some double sided tape

Magnets on all four corners is what I wanna do. Those small button ones that are really strong, but then they might grab your tools. So weaker ones might be better.

But so far the tools hold mine down.

get better liners. Mine dont move at all

I use my tools to hold the liners down.

I currently use non-adhesive cork liners, in the past I've used a couple of small dabs from a hot glue gun.

I'm using a kitchen cabinet type liner that is more "rubbery" than a lot of liners. It doesn't move.

I agree with the "bet better liners" comment, but I have the same problem in some of my drawers. I'm in the process of making new ones out of closed cell foam. In any case, I would recommend buying some rare earth magnets at HF. They are $1.99 for a package of 10. Very strong magnets and quite small (about the diameter of a No. 2 pencil and about 1/8" thick. One of those in each corner would hold them in place. I just bought some and I'm planning on putting them on the bottom of Ernst wrench organizers to hold them in place. The magnet strip that comes on them is very weak and basically won't stick unless there is no liner.

I used hot glue also

clean the inside of the drwer with some windex, wipe it down clean. now spray the bottom of standard drawer liners (already cut to size) with a quick spray of furniture polish, quickly place them in the drawer, put heavy tools in place and close drawer. Don't ask me why it works or how, guy at my last shop showed me and it works all the time.

You won't have these problems with good liners.

The liners in my KRL722 are so good, I almost think you could tip the box over without the liners/tools moving

 

[BQuicksilver]

I have good liners (some SO, some of that cabinet liner grip stuff (prefer it)), their corners curl up a bit and some of the spots with heavy tools can pull a bit.

 

[klhitman]

dont shut the drawer that hard


at work i used spray glue. after a couple of years the glue wears out but still works good. i have some good liners but when you roll around ever where the tools still seem to move

 

[zer0cell]

Cork does seem like it might be a good option... though I have not had any experience using it as a drawer liner so I can't say for sure of course. Anyway, double sided tape is probably what I would use if I did not want to replace existing liners and/or they were too flimsy.

I use spay trim adhesive. Work great and they never move again.

 

[sparky7]

i like hot glue because its not permanent if you dont want it to be, but plenty strong

The liners in my 1022 have been slowly sliding back for years, I haven't done anything about, just *****.

 

[AZ_Catskinner]

I bought some of that U-Glu stuff that they show on TV at the local Family Dollar - works great for holding the liners in my road box down.

 

[music220]

The only liners I had problems with were the heavy drawers, ( 1/2 drive, air tools etc.) which would tend to slide and bunch up. I went to Home Depot and bought 6 feet of black rubber stair tread and cut it to fit the drawers. Never a problem since.

Yoga mats....seriously. They come in different colors, are fairly cheap and you can cut them to whatever size you need. They are thick enough and sticky enough they and your tools will never slide around.
