I use HF blades all the time and do not have problem with them. They seem to last just along as the more costly blades as long as I am careful with them such as not trying to cut my ruler

I am happy with the HF blades. I keep waiting to have a problem. Maybe in the next package

I like them, no problems! If I did have issues Harbor Freight has no issues replacing them! Gives me another reason to have to go there

I agree 100%. After many packages and trying again and again, I gave up. I still have many left.
I find it hard to believe that these cut carpet. As far as mine went, they would not cut butter.

I upgraded to the titanium rotary blades and will never want to go back to regular rotary blades.
The titanium rotary blades seem to last forever.

I, too, have had nothing but problems with the HP blades. I've gone back to buying the Fiskar blades at Walmart. I haven't tried any titanium blades yet.

I'll keep using the Harbor Freight Blades and save my extra money from the savings for more fabric..I've had only one problem with them and it was my fault...so it wasnt the blades after all...I see no reason to use the more expensive blades unless I have to...sorry you are having problems with them

I am with you. I had my girlfriend pick me up some. Big mistake. I have tried two of them and neither cut a darn thing. Not doing that again!

Fabricdepot.com just had an on-line sale, blades for 1/2 price. A 5 pack of Olfa 45mm at $17.00, not sure if it is still on. But I believe a 30% sale off everything is on. Check it out.
