    I found a tool in a pack that works great as stiletto. There were sevaral types of points on these tools and they had a plastic handle. I think I paid $1.99. They also had a set of dental-pick type tools that might work for a stiletto and also be used for other crafting.

    My husband lives at Harbor Freight too. The deals are fantastic.
    He bought me the little brushes to clean my sewing machine there. Those are the ones that someone on
    the forum suggested and they work well.
    That is my question too. I hear so much about these blades & I have mostly Fisker cutters. I was also wondering about the different sizes.

    1.75 inch blade is 44.45mm, so it would work for a 45mm blade replacement. those blades only come with a circular center hold. If your cutter requires notches it would not work.

    My husband bought something similar - it came in very handy when we were moving from the house to an apt. plus since bringing in groceries can be a real chore at times - those bags can get very heavy - I suggested that he take a large plastic tote, fill the tote with groceries and now instead of a dozen trips back and forth on major shopping days, it's only one or two and he's not lifting heavy milk and soda bottles. Our son has even borrowed it on several occasions, although using the large plastic tote has been the best suggestion according to my DH. Who knew???

    My sweetie takes me along because he knows I'll find "something" -- and I carry a checkbook!

    There is a Harbor Freight about 30 minutes from us. I may have to talk DH into going.

    When you go, don't forget your coupons! They always have 20% off and a free item in their ads. I have gotten free flashlights, tape measures, screwdriver sets, clamps, and more. Oh and I use the blades in my Fiskars cutter.

    I don't care for the blades...They seem to be dull...Thought of buying a sharpener and run them through that first...Be careful, the magnetic dish....I had one until I magnetized my Kindle Fire....They told me at Best Buy it was put too close to a magnet and it destroyed it.....I have also been told to keep magnets away from computerized machines....My dish is now in the garage.....

    I have several Harbor Freight items in my sewing studio. I also purchase items in the sporting goods dept. at Walmart. I purchased a plastic fishing lure container at WM yesterday for the bobbins and accessories for my Crown Jewel LA machine. $4.46 in sporting goods. The same item in the sewing and quilting dept. was $9.46. They were made by the same company, just labeled differently. They must think quilters are stupid! lol
