Default Condensation in roll cab

I've a few toolboxes in my concrete sectional garage at home, just been in the cheapo sealey/american pro roll cab and nearly every draw had a puddle of various sizes. Luckily my decent multimetre has got away with it and I've now moved it.

The roll cab has a better quality 3 draw box ontop and this was dry in all the draws.

The cheapo american pro box has no draw liners, I'm wondering if adding some liners will act as insulation and reduce the condensation issue.


Any input peeps?

Extreame temprate changes causes condensatoin, think of it like a cold drink in a warm room.

Does your garage have a metal roof?

Asbestos roof, 2 other tool boxes are fine.

Garage is well aired out on a regular basis too.

Do you put a car in with a hot engine?

At times yeah but the garage door is normally kept open for a while, the car hasn't even moved for around 2 months.
