The other item(s) are the suction holders for your rulers. They have a double for large rulers and a single for smaller ones. I forget the exact price but they are rediculously cheaper than buying them through a quilting source.

Cool - we have one of those stores not to far from where I work - looks like I'm going to make an unexpected stop tonight :)

Do you need the Fiskar cutter to fit these blades. What kind of rotary cutter are you putting the blades on?

Thanks for asking this - I am wondering too if my Olfa cutter can be used with these blades. Although I am from Canada, I am 10 minutes from the US border and there is a Harbour Freight in Bellingham (about 40 minutes from home). So, it looks like a small trip might be worthwhile.

They are great.

I actually have extras (hubby cleaned them out last time he went) if anyone is interested in purchasing these from me.

I just wanted to add that I had the same incident, with local HF out and not getting restock for several weeks...so I went online and got the blades at the sale price, and bought 10 packs at the same shipping cost (which is a little high, so be sure you notice that!), and still ended up with the blades costing less than $1.50 each!! What a deal!! And they work perfectly...no quality issues at all.

I order some, too, and used the first one last night and had the same experience .. I was *very* disappointed :|
I also read on one of my groups, another lady had the same experience ... I'm *not* say they're bad blades ~ just can't figure it out.

I told a friend to bring her rotary cutter and we were going on a shopping trip. She had no idea what I had in mind so she just followed me. My Harbor Freight doesn't carry them - Jacksonville, FL! We were both dissappointed!

You can purchase them online that is what I did. I have yet to try them, but, I bought 10 packages
