Mann Co. Supply Crates are tool Items obtainable only through the item drop system. They are shown as open-style wooden shipping crates, wrapped in chains held with a comically large padlock. Mann Co. Supply Crates can be opened with the use of a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key
When a crate is opened, a 5 second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and wood creaking. The player will receive one of a set of Items, which are listed in the crate's description and dependent on its series. This item is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped Items. The crate and key are then removed from the player's inventory.

- Note: Rare item statistics assume drop rates are equal regardless of series. Also assumes that the series of the crates are dropping in a uniform distribution.
Series #1
- Note: sample size of 2,672 crates from server logs available on request.
Series #2
- Note: sample size of 1,400 crates.
Series #3
- Note: sample size of 315 crates.
Series #4
- Note: sample size of 263 crates.
Series #5

Notes
- *Drop rate is the observed drop rate.
- **Estimated drop rate is an estimate as to what Valve has set the drop rate to be.
Crate-opening demonstration
Notes
- As of the November 19, 2010 Patch, Series #1 and Series #2 crates no longer drop in game. This marks the first time Valve has actually removed an item from the Item Drop System. People with series 1 and 2 crates still have the attributes set to 1 and 2, but they take on the schema ID of series 3 and 4 crates, respectively.

Trivia
- Although Valve modeled the padlocked chain for the icon, the padlocked box can't be found in the game files; its textures, however, can be found. The crate itself uses a model that appears to be the same as
