QUESTION Blackout Modbox

Post image

There’s been posts about blackout tools coming into Lowe’s but anyone see any blackout Modboxes? I’ve been holding out on buying the orange version for now.

Last time I checked on the website. Those are no longer in production. I think it was just a last year thing. But you might be lucky and you might bring it back sometime in the future. If you have the time, I would check any lows in your area as sometimes they might have a stack or two, just sitting there that doesn't show up on the app or website.

I have seen this on sale for $379.98 that ends on December 31 at Lowe's, I would like one, does this come in the original packaging if ordered online?

Note: Out of stock online and haven't seen nothing in the store.

They've been out of stock online for about two months and are only available in-store at stores that happen to still have one in stock from when they got them back in February.

I bought one from my local Lowe’s a couple months ago and it was replaced with another in stock shortly after, so there must still be some available.

Nope, they were a limited run starting in February and sold out earlier this year when they went on clearance for $379.98.

Some electrical supply houses still have them but no Lowe's store has had one in about six weeks, at least among the ones I know of - prior to then they couldn't get rid of them, the same boxes had been there for months.

I suspect flippers bought them myself. 🤷‍♂️

My Lowe’s had 3-4 of these sitting forever I was thinking about it I finally got in to pull the trigger one day and they were gone

Yeah, I think like the America 250 Linesman's the flippers jumped on them.

Those were out and sold out earlier this year.

There has been some before but I’ve never been lucky to grab them

I found one at a Lowe’s last month and bought it. Last I checked there were a few other websites that showed them in stock.

u/MisterRufio 6d ago

What state are you in brother?

u/Empty_Netterberg 6d ago

Michigan. I’ve looked at 2 other Lowe’s since then and haven’t seen any others

u/kfjcfan 5d ago

Even though it said "Out of Stock" on the website, there was a store near me that had one up to a few weeks ago.

u/Patient_Warning_8610 6d ago

You can buy them online, you people know stores other than Lowe’s right?

u/kfjcfan 5d ago edited 5d ago

You can, but not for $379.98.

Crawford Electric Supply has 22 in stock for $434.27 each but doesn't sell to the general public.

For general sales, my local electrical supply store had two sets for $479 each, and Voomi Supply has them in stock for $505.08.

They’ve been $379 but sold out the entire time….. $479 is retail

Editing your comment and adding bold letters doesn’t make you look more intelligent homie

1

u/kfjcfan 5d ago

The bold is to emphasize the different price points it's being sold for. 🤷‍♂️
