yep, the one package I opened, the blades were no good. I do have a relatively new mat. Will not be buying HF blades again, and I still have 2 packages. Waste of time and money in MHO.

I could not even get the plastic off mine. When I finally did they did not cut.
|
I have not ever had a problem with the Harbor Freight blades and have used them probably going on 4 years. I do know other people have reported problems, but for me they can't be beat for the price.

I have had good luck with most of my HF blades. I would say my success rate is the same as the more expensive blades. Sorry others have not been as successful.

I should add that I've been using the HF blades since they were first "discovered" and loved them. Oh sure, a few were not good, but opened another pack and it was fine. But 4 pks!!! 8 bad blades??

I had 5 pks I purchased in the fall and just opened one - well, 4 of them actually! That's 8 blades and every one simply creased the fabric! I tried 4 or 5 passes and do know that there are 2 to a pack. They used to be great, but not one of the 8 was usable! Darn! Back to Olfa for me!:(

There is surely some truism to the addage....you get what you pay for.
I've always been and Olfa only gal. I buy mine from Hancocks of Paducah, 10 at a time for a great price when they have free shipping. Jan in VA |
If you bought them all at the same time, they would all be from the same batch in the manufacturing process. Think of all the people that bought huge amounts....
|
Sometimes one can get good deals on Olfa blades on e-bay.
|
I have had good luck with them. One blade out of several was not good but the majority have been.
