I went to our Harbor Freight store the other day, and they
did not have the blades and they did not seem to even know
what I was talking about. Hubby says we'll go this weekend
and check out another one that waaaay out of town. Hes so
sweet to volunteer to go that far for me.

My only addition to this would be to be really careful opening the package, they are shrink wrapped tightly. Catlady - if you are near Loves Park in N. IL, they are out right now. I got the last few pkgs. they had last Thurs. Sorry:(

They were such hot cakes, why are they not selling now? Imagine the repercussion of all of this!

Now that 80% of members on this board have already bought some of those blades from HFT my husband started giggling. Can you use pizzacutter blades and can you use those? Can we? How much are they? Carpet layers cannot do their work as they cannot get their blades replaced and then we won't be able to get any pizzas either for lack of cutters.
What a blast!
My HFT doesn't have the correct blades. What types of blades did you say they were and how much were they? The ones I saw today were 9.99 and up and had little funny edges on them.
Maybe I am looking at the wrong blades.

You are looking at the wrong blades. A pack of two is $1.49. There are also cutters with three blades for $3.99. If they are out, you may want to buy those, still cheaper than those at JoAnn's with a 40% discount. They are 45' blades.

I got mine the other day they had to get an older man to know what I was looking for, I took all 3 packs he had and he says to me doing a lot of carpeting? I said no sewing. Will check when I get down there again for more. Over 50 miles one way/
They are not with the sissors and other cutting things, over by carpeting supplies.

I guess I am looking at the wrong blades. However, I didn't see any blades for 1.49. I will look again when I'm in that part of town.

Thanks much

Maybe the ones I got are from a bad batch, but they are dull and skip. I got 2 packs @ $1.49/pk. I've tried a blade from each pack, on two different cutters, and they cut like reg. Olfa blades that have been used for a while, have to recut and use lots of pressure. I'll be keeping them to cut paper or household use.
