I may have to check this out. I don't think I've ever been in one of their stores before.

They also have a wrist band with a magnet on top that is great for straight pins. I love mine and use it a lot. I love to just go look around. What do you use those BIG scissors for? They look huge.

I have a friend who keeps telling me to go to Harbor Freights to buy rotary blades she's always telling me it's worth it. Really cheap and the blades work really well for the price.

HF really has lots of quilty things. I have purchased several of the same things as you did. Look for their short screwdrivers. They are so much cheaper than in other places!!!!! Is that blue tape 1/4 inch? I can't tell by the picture.

You sometimes get a bad blade. I just throw that one away and get another one. For the cost of the brand name blades you can throw 10 of the HF ones away to find a good one. I get one bad one out of about every 10 blades but again for $1.70 for 2 blades its not bad.

Well, I figure in the cost of getting the blades out of the pkg, peeling off the plastic stuck to them and trying to cut with no , replacing the blade, etc. My time and aggravation with these blades are worth money also. Will leave them to you all who love them!

HF also has nifty parts and tool containers pretty cheap - very useful.
