Just ordered blades from Harbor Freight. They are on back order. Called the office and expected delievery date to them is Oct. 1, 2010. Will charge my credit card when they are shipped to me. What I have now will last me until then!

Wow! My husband is in town looking for parts for his tractor. I called him and asked him to stop by our local store and pick up two packs. This may be a bad move as he will find all kinds of toys for himself there. Oh well! They have 20 packs in stock. If of you are in the San Antonio, TX area you can stop there and pick some up. No shipping, just our typical tax!!!

Thank you all for this great info. DH went on the internet to see if anyone could beat the price, and he said NO ONE. I know they are on backorder, but, I ordered some today. Don't mind the wait, I still have enough to work with yet.

Went and bought 10 packs today at the Daytona beach Harbor Frieght store.At first,I ordered them on line and then I decided to drive down and get them and save the S&H.The owner said that he had a room full. .I called and cancelled my on line order.They also have the those super grip suction mount handles for $6.99 each.They are exactly what they sell in the quilt stores for a whole lot more!!!!!These are blue and the ones for quilters are purple.There is no difference in them except the color!They suction to your rulers for those who may not know what they are.They are used on bathtubs as safety grips.

I've been buying them for a while and have a stock of them in a container. They don't fit every brand of cutter but the ones you've all listed work fine. I've also told a friend so her husband picks them up for her when he's in HF. I love HF!

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.
Went to Harbor Freight this morning and bought blades they had a lot of them, I even bought the cutter and got two more blades woowoo
