How much? How big? Edie

The tool chest has 8 drawers and it measures 20" long X 10 1/2" wide by 16" high. The price is $79.99 and they do come up on sale now and again.

The replacement blades for my olfa cutter has a hexagon or notched center, the blades at HF appear to be completely round. Does this cause a problem for anyone.

I noticed the center of the HF blades are different too, and wondered the same thing. I am going to try mine first in an older cutter and see if there is a problem with it. The positive posts here about the blades make me think the blades will work fine though.

I was having blade problems and when I went to the Ergonomic blade booth at the Sewing Expo (forgot their names) they told me not to buy the blades with the notches for the regular rotary cutters because they wear unevenly so now I make sure I buy bades with a round hole in the middle.
I will have to go back and look for the handle and see what else I can find. I bought the 10 packs of blades and they work great.

They also have things in the assisted living section like magnifying lights that hook to a table, bath safety grip handle that might work to hold rulers, etc.

What is a snap bag?
