    I bought the cutter with two more blades figured I could use it for something since it was so cheap, maybe even paper that I will not use my good cutters for.

    Excellent suggestion!! I bet it would make a good paper cutter! I maybe I would try it on Batting, or fleece ...oh... the possibilities!

    Girl in store said they will have to limit how many a person can buy at a time. They are dangerous. I looked at her and "I am 61 years old I know how to use a blade and one will cut someone just as well at 20."

    Always trying to take our bonuses away lol.
    They also have 20% coupons on one item in their adds and Sunday news papers.

    Stopped in Harbor Freight on my lunch hour and bought the last 10 cutter blades packages, the cashier said they had 90 but over the last 3 days people have been coming in. We have two Harbor Freight Stores here in Nashville, if you want me to pick up and blades when they are stocked let me know by PM, dont mind shopping at all.

    Great, but do they really fit the Olfa and Clover cutters, or do you have to get the rug cutters?

    They sell the blades seperate.There are two in each pack. I know that they fit the Olfa and the Dritz,but if I am correct someone on here said that they wouldn't fit the Clover ones.

    They are on backorder but I went ahead and placed my order for 10 packages. That way, I will get tehm as soon as they get more stock. Thanks for telling us about these blades.
