    Until harbor freight gets them again, if ever, Hancocks of Paducah sells a 10 blade pack at better than joannes/hancocks/walmart rates.

    Do the Harbor Freight blades last as long as the Olfa?

    I was at the only Harbor Freight in town today (Toledo, Oh)
    It's a new store, right next to a Joann's I've been to many times. They only had one pack of blades, so I bought them, only after asking an older employee where they were. Seems his wife is a quilter too, and he knew where the magnetic nuts and bolts trays were, as well as the suction holders. He was so helpful, and after commenting that his wife had arthritis pretty bad, I showed him my ring. About a year ago, I had the jeweler add an 'arthritis band" to my ring. It did cost $800 but it opens a little to get over my arthrtic finger joint, and then snaps closed but stil looking like a quality item. Before then, I never knew such things existed

    Because of the recent run on those blades, be prepared to pay 1.99 for the pack! Most buyers reporting in on here are saying 1.99. That's what it cost me last week here too.

    I can't tell the HF blades from the Olfas that I already had.
    Cut just as well too, as far as I can see.

    I get that stuff squared away before I had them hold 14 packages for me (when they come in) and at that time they were $1.49 pack and she (the manager) said just the other day that I would still get them at the price when they ran out - rain check thing!!!!!! I always do that to make sure they can't hike the price on me in mid air! Not fair, right! We got dah powah!!!!!! Edie

    As an alternative in the meantime, look on E-Bay. Friend got a 5 pk a few months back for under $10.00! Others have reported great success also.
