Home Depot has launched a Husky magnetic tool mat measuring 11 by 9 inches and priced at $17. The retailer says it can hold up to 40 pounds and has a PVC outer layer intended to protect surfaces and repel oil and grease; independent performance testing and long-term availability were not provided in the report.
Home Depot has launched a new Husky magnetic tool mat, priced at $17 and measuring 11 by 9 inches. The retailer says the mat is engineered to hold up to 40 pounds, giving mechanics and other users a surface for keeping tools and small parts in place on work areas or steel vehicle components.
The mat has a PVC outer layer that Home Depot describes as designed to protect surfaces and repel oils and grease. According to ToolGuyd’s report, it can be used on horizontal surfaces and tool carts, and is also intended to mount to and conform to steel automotive components. The 40-pound figure is the retailer’s stated capacity; the report does not provide details of how that limit was measured or under what conditions it applies.
ToolGuyd lists the mat’s dimensions as 11 inches by 9 inches and its price as $17. The report characterizes its specifications as competitive and the price as a good value, but those are the publication’s assessments rather than independently verified performance findings. It also notes that magnetic tool mats are already available from other sellers.
ToolGuyd says Home Depot appeared to have plenty in stock when it reported on the launch. That observation reflects the report’s timing and does not establish current inventory at every store or online. The publication also carries an affiliate disclosure: it may earn a commission if readers buy through its links.
A Compact Mat for Tool Storage
The mat offers a portable way to keep tools and parts together while working, including on a tool cart or a compatible steel surface. Its advertised 40-pound capacity may help shoppers judge whether it suits their intended use, though that number alone does not show how securely it will hold particular items or how performance changes with surface angle, movement, or dirt and grease.
At $17, the product sits in a low-cost category where size, materials, and actual magnetic grip can matter as much as the headline capacity. Buyers comparing options will want to check what the mat can hold in their own work conditions and whether the PVC surface and stated oil- and grease-repelling design meet their needs. The available report does not include side-by-side tests or user feedback.

Husky’s Home Depot Launch
Husky is a Home Depot brand, and the retailer is the seller identified in the report. ToolGuyd places the launch among Husky products that sometimes appear in Home Depot’s Black Friday tool deals and gift center. It says some such products sell out and do not return, but does not establish that this mat is a Black Friday exclusive or that its supply is limited.
The report describes the new mat alongside an existing market for magnetic tool mats. Its stated size, price, material, and claimed capacity provide the main points available for comparison. The source does not name competing products or provide test results that would support a broader ranking of the Husky mat against them.
“Engineered to hold up to 40 pounds.”
— Home Depot, as quoted in ToolGuyd’s report
Capacity and Stock Still Unclear
The report does not explain how the 40-pound capacity was tested, whether it applies equally on horizontal and vertical surfaces, or how the mat performs with different types and shapes of tools. It also does not provide independent tests of the magnet’s grip, the PVC layer’s durability, or the claims about repelling oil and grease. Home Depot’s application examples include a range of objects, but the report cautions that some appear ambitious; it does not confirm that every suggested item will be held securely in every setup.
Long-term availability is also unknown. ToolGuyd reported that stock appeared plentiful at the time, while warning that some Husky products launched around Black Friday may sell out and not return. It did not say the mat would follow that pattern, identify a restocking schedule, or confirm whether the product is seasonal. Current stock and any changes to price should be checked with Home Depot.
Check Availability and Product Details
Readers interested in the mat can check Home Depot’s current listing or contact a local store for up-to-date price and stock information. The report does not provide a date for a next product update, a restock announcement, or independent testing. Further details that could clarify the product’s performance would include the retailer’s testing conditions for the 40-pound figure and results from use on different surfaces and with different tool loads.
