Thread: harbor freight rotary blades

Is it true that the rotary blades from Harbor Freight are ok to use just ar good as the ownes you get at Joannes? I am going there Wednesday and thought I would pick some up. Thanks for in info. Jean

I ordered a bunch of them--no problems at all.

Be sure to ask for carpet cuter blade. They are great!!!

They don't work well for me. I must have a bad batch. They've all gone dull or skippy after just a few cuts (or in one case, no cuts at all).

YEP!!! They are GREAT!! And even with shipping & everything (I had to order over the website because my local HF store can't get them fast enough) they are only about $1.50 a blade.

sorry...slow computer, twitchy finger!! LOL

They work fine except once in a while there will be a bad one in the package. For the price, I can't complain.

so far, I have had good luck with these blades...they may dull a tiny bit faster, but not by much.

I've been using them for quitea while. I think they are well worth the price ...2 in a pack for 2 dollars. sometimes they are on ale for 1.49. I feel they are sharper and last longer and when they start to skip I do not think twice about poppin another in, whereas with the brand name expensive one . I will struggle until I am close to tearing my hair out. we all like to save $$.

Hummmmm are they just called "rotary blades" in the catalog... my DH has that book around here all the time.. will have to check it out!! They just opened one somewhere around here, so maybe i'll take the ride with him someday!!!
