Default Harbor Freight Blades

While back there was talk of using these blades for rotary cutters. Which blades are we talking about? They have a couple? Thanks

They're called carpet cutting blades. I use them all the time and love them.

I too use them - they are pretty good and a great value.

I went out and bought them and thought they were horrible. Probably depends if you get a good batch or not.

I have used a lot of them and had a couple of bad ones. I figure for 1.99 a package making them $1.00 each I can throw the bad ones away and still come out ahead.

I get a dud in my batch every so often - by and large they're a great buy and when they are good, they really are.

Use them all the time, and love them, never got a hold of a bad one yet.

I prefer the blades from LP sharp Company(lpsharp.com) they are inexpensive and made for rotary cutters. I tried Harbor Freight and did not like them.

I have had bad luck with the quilting name brand blades at times as well as a dud or two from Harbor Freight. Would I rather have a dud at a $1.00 or considerably more? I just wish HF carried other sizes.
