The Harbor Freight here doesn't carry them. I'm just going to buy them where I know I can get them. When you have to keep going back to get your money backor exchange, I just consider my time having been wasted.

They have "dead spots" in them so you can't make one cut and have to go over a second time to get the remaining fabric. It is not a clean cut it is somewhat jagged. The second unopened package is going back. I will wait until I either have a coupon or they go on sale at Joanne and buy them there.

I use them too, and have never had a problem!

I also tried them and didn't like them at all. It was not worth the frustration to me. I try to pick up the Olfas when they are on sale. I have enough problems cutting! :)

It could also be your mat you are cutting on. Sometimes the blades stick together and you think you are using 1 blade, but there are 2 stuck together. This is what I have found out by using them.

I had one bad blade out of about 10 packages...but they could be bad. Try another blade before taking them back...

I use the ones from J Hilltle wholesale company...you can buy then either 10 or 100 at a time, and I've been very pleased.

I purchased a lighted seam ripper at Harbor Freight, but can't find the batteries required.

I bought two packages, and every blade was a dud. Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me.

I'm just sayin'

I've found that buying blades from HF is kinda like rolling dice. Sometimes I've won, sometimes I've lost:D
