Mann. Co Supply Crates are tool items obtainable only through the item drop system. They can only be unlocked by using Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys, which are only purchasable at the Mann Co. Store for the price of $2.49/£1.99/€2.49.
When unlocked, the crate yields one of the items listed in its series and is then removed from the player inventory. Dropped crates do not count as part of the weekly drop cap. The crate drops are managed by a completely independent drop timer according to Robin Walker. This item cannot be crafted, or be used to craft things such as Scrap Metal. Mann Co. Supply Crates seem to be released in series, the first having special attribute #1065353216 and the second #1073741824. Opening a crate is a gamble. You may receive an "unusual" hat, or maybe just another Equalizer.
When a crate is opened with a key, a 5 second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and hinges creaking. The item inside is announced to the server as "%playername% has uncrated: %itemname%".

Exceedingly Rare Special Items
An 'Exceedingly Rare Special Item' found in a crate may be a random hat with the 'Unusual' quality. These Unusual hats can also be traded, unlike their normal in-game store counterparts. Unusual items have purple-colored names with a random 'super rare' particle effect. The 'Exceedingly Rare Special Item' can also be another crate.
