2 to a package and only $1.45 WOOHOO. I bought 10 packages before they discover quilters are using them and raise the price. They are super sharp. think they are made sharper as carpet is tough. Cut like going through butter. Girl in store said they will have to limit how many a person can buy at a time. They are dangerous. I looked at her and "I am 61 years old I know how to use a blade and one will cut someone just as well at 20." Always trying to take our bonuses away lol. |

http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...des-97642.html Thanks for letting us know they fit our ordinary rotary cutters. I like to change my blade often. Daily would be nice. Cheaper than arthritis meds for my elbow! This is the first I've heard of these - but sounds great. What size cutter do they fit? 28, 45, 60? I knew they could make those blades cheaper. I've used X'acto blades for 25+ years and they're not that pricey. It really surprised me about rotary cutter blades. |
I just placed an order for 20 blades after reading all these coments. With shipping, it's still only $2 per blade. I'm really tired of using blades longer than I should!!!!! because i think they're sooooooooooo expensive. It's a STUPID way to try to save money, because dull blades just make my blood pressure go up, and my accuracy go down!
I wonder how their carpet cutting tool would work on fabric? It looks a bit bulky - BUT it's only $3.99, so I wonder if it's worth trying. I'll take a look when I get to Tucson for the winter. There's a Harbor store there. |
I had my husband go by Harbor Freight yesterday and get me a magnetic parts bowl for pins. Looks like now he gets to go back tomorrow for the blades. Do look for the ads in the Sunday paper and different places,AARP mag, etc. There is always the 20% off coupon but also for months now there is also a coupon for a little free LED flashlight, no purchase required. We get 2 every time we go in. I probably have close to 30. They are really good little flashlights.

They fit 45mm rotary cutters, I have a Fiskar's cutter. I have enough blades to last me a year now. |
HF confirmed my order, and so far they haven't told me it's on BACK order. That'll probably happen tomorrow!

Where can I get these blades? Mine is about 6 months old because blades at JoAnn's are sooooo expensive even with 40% off. Do all carpet places have them or only arbor Freight? Where is arbor Freight?

I think it is just a harbor freight item...I searched all over to find them at other carpet supply places but didn't see any.
Also peeps...they have tons of coupons for the free flashlites on ebay! search under "Harbor Freight". Might as well save a little money since we'll all be shopping there from now on LOL! also they are selling tons of other coupons if you plan to buy something bigger like a set of tools or something manly like that.... |
