They also have suction cup things to put on your quilting ruler and they work great. It's like the shower suction cup to help you get in and out of the shower.

Tell me about the suction cup things.

I contacted Harbour Freight's website, since we don't have that store in Canada, and Home Depot and Lowes do not carry them in their flooring departments. I ordered 5 packages by mail about 6 months ago.Had them in about 2 weeks. I am still using a blade the first package I opened. It just doesn't dull...even though I have cut denim for three rag quilts!

I bought some yesterday, pack of two for $1.49 AND with a newspaper coupon I got a free pair of serrated scissors. I've had no problems with the blades.

Okay, now how do you know what size they are? Just don't use the same measurements I am used to seeing the blades sized.
Just checked and they are still 2 for $1.49.

This was my experience. I am hoping that the next pack is better

Besides the blade ( have been using them for about 8 months now and love them,) They have the handles that hold the rulers, and I hear they are inexpensive... Any one know about these, think there are two sizes.... Would love to have the urls for them...

Yes they are and you can get a discount with a coupon. I would be more than happy to get you more if you like and send them to you.

I was finally able to get some of these blades today. DH went out of his way, on one of our errands today, so I could have them. The store isn't any where near our house.
