Actually sent my husband in and he bought 4 pkgs.
Not sure who first mentioned these but THANK YOU and to all the newbies, this is a GREAT buy.
Our local HF had to triple their orders. We quilters kept buying them out.

I am so sad about this. We pay about $15 each for a rotary blade in Australia, and $20 for a large blade. So when I saw the first thread on Harbour Freight I tried to order the blades on line. Guess what, I can't buy on line. I contacted the store to find out why not, and had a very nice email back explaining that they cannot be shipped overseas as they are classed as weapons!

My store does not carry them in store. Keep hoping I'll pop in and they will have them. I have bought them in other towns, but don't go anywhere any more.

I shared this during "Show and Tell" with my guild. I made 80 new converts that night.

If you are not familiar with these, here is the link to see them:
http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...des-97642.html

Note, online, they are on back order. If you going to buy them local, you might want to call first. Their website also has a store locator. I didn't even know we had one in our town...and for heaven's sake, don't tell them what we are using them for!

I love Harbor Freight, not just for the rotary blades but they have lots of cool stuff. I usually find something I can't live without (haha).

Was able to order them online at the sales price. Quick delivery and saved gas money.

I also went to Harbor Freight and brought 2 pkgs of these blades and did not have very good luck using my Olfa 45mm rotary cutter. It cut my material like a worn out blade and had to take the scissors to finish cutting. Think I will invest my money in a electric sharpner for rotary blades.
