I have tried HF blades and they are not worth my time changing out bad ones to find a good one in the batch.
|
We have a Harbor Freight within easy walking distance of our apartment, so I could not resist buying a couple of packages of the blades. Yes, they were indeed very inexpensive, but the first one I tried dulled after cutting one quilt top. I changed blades and found that the second one dulled after one quilt top, too. Having to change blades after each quilt top would wind up being just as expensive in the long run as using really good ones from the quilt shop, right?

Here is the link. I've been 99% happy with them. They don't seem to bother my mats and just recently I got a dud, but I've been using them since we first discovered them. |

I love them and have had no problems...................

I've tried several packages of them - hated them all. My sister has had the same negative experiences with them. I decided that I would rather just buy blades on sale and know I have something that works!!
|
I have also been using them. So far I have had one bad one. My mat is just fine after using them. For the cost savings I can throw one out on occasion.

I have been using replacement blades for my 45mm rotary cutter for years, purchased from Harbor Freight. Once in a while I will receive a blade with a small spot that skips when cutting. Most of the time, all blades are very good and sharp and last a good long time. I order them in larger quantities, and have been very pleased with them. When I purchased the blades from other places, they were dull, and I was never happy with the products. There's no telling, wherever the blades are purchased, if one will have a dull spot - so for the price, can't beat these blades from Harbor Freight!
