Can you imagine what is going on about the blades we bought from HFT? They are on backorder and probably have no idea why they had such a run on them. They reordered and hoped to sell more, but we are all stacked up for a while and now they are sitting on shelves collecting dust. They have to reorder fromChina. 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!

HA HA HA HA, now there's a thought! I went Saturday and bought six packs. That is all our's had and they didn't know where they were. I had to hunt for them. Young and dumb, and didn't care for texting. I could have been a terrorist and they wouldn't have noticed. I don't think there was but one mature person in that store. I took all they had and probably would have taken more if they'd had them. No one even cared, can you believe, no one. And, probably still in the blind. That's good for us, though.

Blessings,
Ruth

As soon as they realize it's quilters buying them, they'll raise the price.

Probably I bought six packs on Friday at our Harbor Freight store the clerk did ask me if I needed a cutter to go with them.

I called the HF near me yesterday but the girl that answered didn't know what she was looking for and told me that they had them and the price was $3.49 for 1. I called today and the man knew what I was talking about and looked but they were all sold out. I called the store on the other side of town and he didn't even look, he said they were out and asked if I was using the blades for fabric. So the word about the blades, spread like fire.

I guess I missed the other thread about rotary blades being cheaper at Harbor Freight.
Do they sell different sizes?
I usually only buy the 60mm.
I'll have to go over there and buy some.

I bought mine yesterday. Today, I will give them a try.

I got mine on Friday. They had 5 packs and I bought 4 of them--figured I'd leave one in case a carpet cutter needed one fast! lol They worked great!

Last week I went to our HF, which happens to be right next to Hancock Fabrics, and the ones they had in the right size had saw teeth. Would someone scan and post the package for me? Thanks so much.
