    Thought I'd pose this here.

    What do you all use for your drawer liners? My top drawers are 14.25" deep and 22" wide. Bottom drawers are 16" deep and 22" wide.

    After reading other forums, the consensus seems to be Nu Source or KRL. Both very expensive.

    Any cheaper alternatives out there like yoga mats, or something?

    Super thin yoga mats like the cheapo ones from Wal-Mart should work really well, just let them air out in the hot sun once to discourage them from rolling back up and from smelling (high school yoga teacher made us do that before we could bring them inside). I am not sure what I'll do when I get a box, I have about three tool bags and a job box that I store all of my tools (save for the larger woodworking powertools) in and it is getting to be too much work for me to put everything away like a puzzle to make them all fit in.

    Maybe I'll get a real tool box with a lot of drawers for my apartment closet and just use the bags when I go home for summer. I really have more tools than a college student should and storage is a problem. Any good suggestions for boxes? While I am a Snap-On guy I cannot afford one of their boxes, and I'm really on the fence with the new Craftsman boxes, it all feels like marked up harbor freight products. Not like my old Craftsman allen keys and wrenches which could rival their Matco and Snap-On counterparts.

    Not a direct reply to your question, I know, but still Yoga mats are a good idea.

    Craftsman boxes aren't in the same league as the HF boxes. The 44" and up are superior to just about anything out there.... Including the (gasp) snap on and such. There is a thread floating around where a guy broke them all down and compared them.

    I hear ya about the tool chests/boxes. Snap-On, Matco, Eastwood, etc are all great products but insanely priced for the common consumer. And I do believe HF products are probably on par with the quality of the cheaper brands like Craftsman, Kobalt, etc.

    If I didn't get a screaming deal on my Kobalt years ago, I'd probably buy a HF one knowing there's not much difference any more.

    I just wish I had more space in my garage (glorified truck closet) for a bigger box.

    I'm not sure about that, my most recent trip to Sears was a bit disappointing when I was feeling out some of the boxes. I can see the 44" and up being better for sure though, the drawer slides were better and the overall fit and finish was superior to their smaller boxes. Unfortunately unless I was to turn my living room into a shop (not completely out of the question with my roommates) I couldn't shove a 44" in anywhere. The Snap-On and Matco boxes are in a league all their own, and the parts availability is amazing, you can still get parts for a 30 year old box if you need to. But the bigger craftsman boxes are certainly very solid as well and I wouldn't rule them out, they're not bad quality. The boxes from Snap-On and Matco are far superior in fit and finish and have an overall solid feel that just can't be matched, even though I probably will never drop the cash for one.

    It's sort of sad to think of Craftsman as a cheap brand, but nowadays the only thing they have that is superior to harbor freight is a store that won't give you cancer at first whiff and a return/exchange policy that doesn't require a receipt. I wish I had more space as well for tools and such, my apartment limits me and working in the parking lot in winter is a pain. When I'm at home I can't really unpack too much either because my garage is full of stuff from when we had bigger houses.
