I have an old 20 drawer craftsman tool box set. It has non-bearing drawer sliders. What would be a good lube to use on the drawer slides.

+1 white lithium (but I had a tube open already; spray would be neater).

Tetra Gun Grease rocks.
Best bang for the buck - no pun intended.

Thanks for the replies. I read that plain old bees wax works great? I have some WLG in a tube but am affraid to use it since my shop gets very dusty with my woodworking.

I use this stuff on everything and it works great. It does not attract dust when dry. I buy it at Lowe's. Great for Table saws also.
I once had a bolt on my mower that an impact wrench would not take off. I used this stuff and let it sit for a 1/2 hour. The bold came off with just a hand wrench.

+1 on Dave's Teflon spray! It dries to a powdery coating and is not greasy. Does not attract dust. Yeah!

I also agree with Dave! Keep a can in the shop and one in the garage.
