I bought one from the first batch that hit some of the stores about a month ago. Put it on my desk at work to hold pens and Sharpies and sticky notes and stuff. Really nice! Decided to get another for home but they were sold out when I made it back later in the week. I checked the store the next town over. They were due to get their first batch in mid November, but by then interest had really taken off on the internet so were saving their stock for Black Friday week. An understandable business decision, though don't know if it was corporate or the store manager who made the call. Finally able to score a second one yesterday morning at 8.
I Gave up on gettting this mini tool box because of its popularity - I just bought the mini KOBALT - I am just going to relax on black Friday - be safe everybody that goes shopping that day
@@tonytigeer I’m probably going to go to Harbor Freight on Friday morning because I have one about 5 minutes away, get a couple more mini boxes and then breakfast and back home. I’m probably not going to the mall or anything unless there are some crazy in store only deals or I get bored and want to walk around in the mayhem
Harbor Freight announced this prior to the first release. It's been the plan all along. All stores should be releasing them on Fri. Good luck getting one though...you may have to camp out like getting concert tix back in the day..😂
I'm going over later to get a couple, one for me and one for my son. I only hope I'm able to get them. But I live in a fairly rural area, so I may get lucky. Fingers crossed.
If it is anything like my HF. Better get there at 7- 730. There will be a line. Was 30 people on Monday morning for ITC members. Only first 10 got boxes
I *was* interested in picking up a pair of these to give to coworkers, but after this stunt by corporate I've lost interest. What a bunch of schmucks. edit: for context I was told the same thing by the cashier at my store that I have rapport with.
Went to buy one on three different days after being told by a different story each day. Now I don't even care and questioning if Harbor Freight is where my money should be spent. Have been lied to on three or four occasions by the store employees. Tools may be good, but the workers suck.
@@flatlandwelder sorry to hear that, I’ve only had the best experiences with the harbor freight employees in my local stores. FYI Lowe’s is discounting their Kobalt mini tool box on Black Friday($13 I think) and they have plenty of them, although the Kobalt mini tool box isn’t as nice as the US General mini tool box
Im about to sell the mini box I bought at HF yesterday… I wonder if I can put it on ebay… no idea why anybody would want it! I saw it behind the counter and bought it. I dont know why. My wife didnt know why I bought it. I got it home and discovered the drawers open up like 2” Then discovered everybody wanted them on the internet and they were a big deal Why?!!
I have ITC and they told me tough luck yesterday at 2:30pm. Friday will be insane no thanks😂
I hope that HF eventually sells a bottom section similar to the Kobalt mini toolbox bottom.

@@PrestigeWhirlwide dont pass up on some of those 40% Icon deals. Bargain.
People are going bananas for these. Just buying them for the sake of it
My store got some today, too, but and had them out, but only a few at a time. On Monday, my store sold over 50 in 15-30 minutes

Why?!!
It's like the Stanley cup thing for dudes I guess lol
They are so tiny and useless, they are just a novelty item. People just follow the crowd.
I have a feeling a huge population of people are liking “small and cute” things… just like Asian people ❤😂
I was told the same
I was able to go in get 2 leave change my hoodie n took 4. Any one need one for $45?😂 😂😂😂
@@zer0coolninja887 how dare you! There are starving kids in Africa who could eat these novelty tool boxes!
Watch your video it is a waste of money
Little toy tools to teach or give to yo kids 😂👎
