You sometimes get a bad blade. I just throw that one away and get another one. For the cost of the brand name blades you can throw 10 of the HF ones away to find a good one. I get one bad one out of about every 10 blades but again for $1.70 for 2 blades its not bad.

Well, I figure in the cost of getting the blades out of the pkg, peeling off the plastic stuck to them and trying to cut with no , replacing the blade, etc. My time and aggravation with these blades are worth money also. Will leave them to you all who love them!

HF also has nifty parts and tool containers pretty cheap - very useful.
