Okay gang, I went to the 2nd HF in my area and the blades were all gone!!! I guess I will need to make a pit stop every once in awhile to check when they are back in stock. Yes, they went up 50 cents a pack too!!!

The Ladies at MY Harbor Freight told me the day they receive shipment and also the best time to come in - while they are stocking. Perhaps you can ask at your HF for information.
When the get to $1.50 per blade, they will be too high to purchase because that is the price jHittle charges.
He is now offering 100 blades for about $139. I suggest that if you want them at this price, and not have to pay postage, that some of you pool your orders, one person order the 100 blades, that come packaged (sealed) in sets of 10. I still have 4 sets from the last time I ordered but I did not buy 100 blades, I bought some other items and paid $1.49 per blade at that time.
I would be willing to order and then split the order and send them you if you PM me to let me know your interest. That is - if and when Harbor Freight blades either are no longer available or go above Hittle's price.
Something to think about.

I bought the blades from my local Harbor Freight and I hate them. I bought the carpet cutter first and someone had stolen the extra blades out of the package.
I went back a couple of days later as they were expecting a shipment of the blades and picked up 3 packages (they only received 3) and exchanged the carpet cutter.
I used the blade in the carpet cutter first. There was only 1 extra blade, so thought someone had stolen the other. It skipped like crazy. I had to go over the edge 4 - 5 times in order for it to cut 2 pieces of material.
I exchanged the blade, thinking maybe someone had also put an old blade in the package when they stole the original.
I used a brand new package and it did the same thing. I don't know if I am having a run of bad luck or what, but I'll keep to the other blades for now.
Although these are a lot cheaper, I don't want to waste any more fabric!
Hope everyone else has better luck than I did!
