Blue Spot 29194 Utility Blades in Holder (100 Pieces)

What can I say? They’re sharp. They fit my utility knife. They’re useful. For the price, they’re a bargain.The holder is useful, but the blades are not that easy to get out without a bit of practice, and I can’t see a way to refill it so I’m assuming it’s designed to be disposable.You need to push down on the top to apply pressure on the blades in order to slide them out from the bottom (I’ve tried to demonstrate this in the pics), and I can’t help feeling this could have been designed with a slightly better mechanism, perhaps a ratchet system or locking mechanism so the pressure pushing down on top of the blades is permanent. Maybe you need to spend more money on a better system from another manufacturer to get something like that, but I won’t be doing that!The blade holder is designed to be wall-mounted, which I’m sure is very handy (but I haven’t mounted it on a wall yet) and that would probably make it easier to get the blades out, but for me it’s more practical to remove a few blades at a time and put them in another blade holder that I’ve had for years which holds 5 blades at a time (and fits in my pocket), and it’s a lot easier to slide the blades out of that when needed.Overall I’d recommend these blades, they serve their purpose perfectly well and there are plenty of them, and I suppose for the price paid the mechanics of the holder are as good as can be expected.

Decent blades, long lasting, the storage holders a little difficult to get the blades out to begin with but once the opening loosens up it's ok, recommend.

100 blades for this price wasnt expecting much, but these are as good as any other blades but a lot cheaper in a handy dispenser that has screw holes if you wanted to mount it

nice and sharp,good value

What can I say considering there are a hundred blades for £16 including p+p it's a good buy when Screwfix sells 10 blades for £2.50 just as Stanley blades in design

If you have ever cut plasterboard, you will realise it is murderous to knife blades, so the fact these Blue Spot come in packs of 100 is a distinct bonus. They are sharp and accurate and appear to perform at least as well as other “branded” blades which appear to be retailing at relatively “stoopidly” inflated prices. Another plus is that as they are so affordable, any temptation to make an old blade last that bit longer, or the spares are too difficult to find, with the consequential risk of using a wayward and dull blade is negated.The dispenser makes carrying the blade pack both safe and straightforward and makes fitting new blades a simple affair without slicing fingers in the extraction process. Would definitely buy again (tho 100 will take a while to get through now the plasterboard is done..).

They're not that great. I'm cutting thin leather strips, using a proper cutting mat underneath, and I'm getting maybe 10 feet of clean cuts before these blades start dulling. And the dispenser doesn't work properly. It's badly made and you have to trim a piece from the opening (where the blades are dispensed) to get it to work.Wouldn't buy again.

Excellent quality product just as good as the Stanley blades that you buy very easy to use in the dispenser good quality a very durable blades excellent fit
