Black Cardstock 12x12 paper
I use a lot of black paper so this was a great deal. Bazzill cardstock is of good quality and works well with the Cricut. | 1positive

Rowenta ironing board
This is actually a great ironing board (I am reviewing the ironing board - NOT the ironing board cover)- but Amazon shipped it without the box it comes in from Rowenta. Therefore, it was very unstable; the legs had been bent out of alignment. I shipped it back to Amazon - they arranged to pick it up - and I was given credit promptly. I later bought the same item from another online site; it arrived in the proper box, was in perfect condition. It is very sturdy, has a large ironing surface, and has adjustable heights, and also a place for the iron to rest, and for hangers. For the life of me, I cannot imagine what the person responsible for shipping from Amazon was thinking - because that board cannot be used by anyone! | 0negative

Terrible threader
I bought this for the self-threading feature, don't bother. I got it to work once and didn't even know it. I'd been trying a long time, gave up and went to bed. In the a.m. got up to try some more, asked my husband to have a look. He said it was threaded. Used it till I needed to thread again, still can't get it threaded with feature. The light is worthless and I can't seem to find a position for my own light that helps to see what you're working on. It's a big dissapointment. | 0negative

Wouldn't ever recommend
I have only sewed on my machine a couple of times and it has already gone to the shop! Service guy worked on it for three hours and told me to come get it! Can't be fixed!!! The bobbin casing was defective and several other problems. I feel like I just threw my money away. Won't buy Singer again! | 0negative

High quality, easy to customize
This is a beautiful and substantial piece of wood desktop/tabletop organization. It will stay where you put it, especially with the little rubber stick-on pads. It's very easy to to make the compartments smaller or larger as each divider can be removed and replaced by simply sliding it in or out. You can stack and arrange multiple units, and I believe there are other shapes in the series. I find them best suited to housing small amounts of paperwork that you need at your fingertips, as opposed to sorting and filing larger quantities of papers. | 1positive

not for a professional
If you want to end up with a canvas you can proudly hang on a wall, do NOT begin with these stretcher bars. The assemble bars will not line up (warped corner to corner), the wood splits at mitered ends and/or break off where cut. | 0negative

Xyron Sticker Machine Refill
Great product. I wish it was a bit cheaper but it's really fun and the kids love to make their own stickers so its worth the price. Needed to read instructions on removal and installation the first time but it was easy after that. | 1positive

For my purposes, 100% perfect
For my purposes, this was and is by far the best adhesive I've found, and i spent a lot of money and time trying different things.Unfortuneately, they don't seem to make it anymore. If you have any you don't want...please let me know! | 1positive

It is a pleasure to use this office tool
After constantly banging my old useless 3 hole punch on the edge of the table in my office to get out the paper stuck in it, in order to punch holes in one sheet of paper I was beyond frustrated.This is the answer to that problem. I never knew this type of tool existed. I was so indoctrinated to using those outdated useless 3 hole punches they sell at the local office store:(Now I can insert 20 sheets of paper in this hole puncher and it works!!!!Affordable office tool that actually does what it says it will do!! This definitely works for me. | 1positive

Don't buy it..............
What a load of rubbish!!!! Only punches one sheet at a time, more than that and it gets stuck. I have spent more time trying to get the paper out of it. I should have listened to the reviews before I spent my hard earned money on such a rubbish product. I will definitely be returning it. | 0negative

My new favorite
I got this for the TWSBI 540 EF nib pen. The Monte Blanc black ink I was using was not dense enough for my taste. This ink is BLACK and does not look ashy after it has dried. I have used it on standard office paper (Xerox 32lb bright white), cheap yellow legal pads, and a non-Moleskin journal. It writes and dries black.I was also curious how quick it would dry. As I am a left-hander whom writes overhand (you know the weird way lefties write and everyone else says How you write like that?"). So I end up dragging my hand through my writing and smudging it. Well, not with this stuff, it dries quick. Now it will smudge a little on high-gloss paper like credit card solicitations and junk mail. So if you are jotting down a honey-do list use regular paper.It says that this ink only bonds to celluloid (paper) and not your skin and I guess cloths? I can testify that it will wash off my hands with little scrubbing unlike India Ink. But I haven't gotten any on my cloths. I do question the clothing thing, since most are made of cotton, which I think is cellulose and used in paper? It's been a while since biology class, I may be in left field on that one.All in all, well worth the money, and doesn't seem to dry out in the pen or get crusty and is rich black. | 1positive

Great Colors
I bought these as a Christmas gift for a friend. She tested them on watercolor paper, making a chart of the colors dry as well as wet. The colors were intense either way.She liked them very much. I liked them so much I am buying another set for myself. | 1positive

sticky residue from labels -GONE!
We have used this for years. It instantly wipes clean book, bottles, etc. which had sticky labels or price tags. The residue usually comes off with one wipe of this on a cotton ball, leaving the surface clean like new. it's also good for removing art adhesives. | 1positive

Good but double-side fuse
There are different kinds of fuse and different glues-this one is glued on both sides so it is great for adding body to cuffs, colors and so on but as an all purpose fuse, will not work and is a bit pricey per yard. | 1positive

Stuck
These have not worked since day one. I just decided to store them in my junk draw and ask my son-in- law to see if he can open them. They are stuck together. Cheaply made and not worth the money. In fairness to the seller I did not notify him or try to return them. It was to be a stocking stuffer for my husband as he is a fly fisherman. It was the busy Christmas season and I ate my loss. | 0negative

Warning: Colors won't all come out of the fabric
For years I used a white chalk pencil for marking my quilts for hand quilting, but lately I haven't been able to locate my favorite brand. So I bought a pack of these Fons and Porter chalk pencils thinking that surely they could be trusted. I was machine quilting some small projects and I used the white one a few times with success. The lines rubbed away, but not so easily that they were gone before I could finish the quilting. I was satisfied with it, but when I realized that I was going to use it up before I had even touched the other three colors, I decided the next project would work well with the yellow chalk. That is when my opinion changed. I had the quilting all finished and began rubbing the lines as I had done before with the white pencil. The lines became a little less distinct, but were still clearly visible. And that, my friends, is as good as it got. Even with a damp cloth, those marks remain. I put a query out on my blog asking what had worked for others. Some said that after repeated washings the marks were finally pretty well gone, but others said they never could get them out--and the same went for the blue and grey pencils. So I have ditched the yellow, blue and grey pencils that came in this set. I still have the white and will use it up, but I will not buy this set of four colored pencils again just to get one useable pencil. Fons and Porter would be ahead to sell four white pencils in the pack and drop those other colors. I cannot recommend the set, though I give it two stars instead of one, because the white pencil has worked well. | 0negative

Item Great Deal
I am new to the Cricut world and when shopping for items found they were a little high price. Reviewed Amazon and found this bundle and it is a good deal! Once I got the item, found out that the cutting mats were for the Cricut and not for the Cricut Essential machine. Contacted the company and they would not swap the 6X12 for the 12X12 mats without me spending lots more money. I think they could of swapped with me and I pay the postage but there was no negotiating. | 0negative

Great service, poor product performance
The company sent the Watch Back Case Opener Knife Watchmaker Repair Tool I purchased quickly and it arrived faster than I expected. It was in excellent condition and packed securely. The price seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, it came with no instructions and I have been unable to use it successfully. | 0negative

PED basic
Easy to download and use the PED basic. I am new to the embroidery world and it was great to download free designs and save it into the computer. I was excited to see the zip files on the computer and easy to save onto the card. Only thing I don't like it that it erases all previous designs on the card everytime unless you remember to resave with new designs. | 1positive

It was great then it stopped working
I bought this lighter after reading some rave reviews here and other places. I wanted a no frills bulletproof lighter I even went with the clear so I could always easily see how much fluid was in it. I used the lighter for cigar lighting mostly. I only ran vector butane. The lighter worked for a couple weeks then it failed. It would not light most of the time and then not at all. I liked the idea, strong flame large fuel capacity durable design. You can find a lot of different variations of this style torch lighter but if its not going to be bulletproof guaranteed why waste 30 bucks. You can try your luck on a 5 dollar version. For what it is worth I do have a Xikar Element and its been my durable fail safe and would recommend it. | 0negative

STAINs! DO NOT BUY! NOT WASHABLE
Do not buy. This paint is like a dye that stains skin and tables, floor, anything. It is not WASHABLE (read the fine print.) Don't make the same mistake I made by using this product. NOT FOR KIDS. Wil even drip off a dry paper and stain a large area. | 0negative

Very satisfied
I recieved the dress form promptly in the time stated. I love that I can stick pins in it and the hem line guide arm is a wonderful bonus. I like the versatility of a range of sizes that I will be using. It is also very lightwieght making moving around room very easy. Adjustments were done easily for sizing. All around happy with this purchase and would recommend to family and friends, anyone who makes clothes. | 1positive

If you're going to make a sewing machine, make it sew
This thing does no sew. It will not sew forward. It will not sew backward. The thread will fly out and snap. It hates silk and other thin fabrics. It refuses to move on thick fabrics, such as thin velevet.It makes a poor paperweight too. | 0negative

Good Idea but CHEAP, FLIMSY packaging.
This item turned out to be much more flimsy and cheap looking than I thought when viewed online. The selection of colors was fine. But to be able to store all these items and keep them in any kind of order is next to impossible. The flimsy plastic case should be made of a stronger and stiffer material with a fold-over cover that clicks into place. There is nothing but "paper-like" plastic to hold all the items in place. When one is removed the threads next to them easily fall out of place. | 0negative

This is just a single black pen!
The picture of this item is of the four pack of colored pens that came with a free CD-R. That is not what you'll get if you order this! I received a solitary black pen for my troubles... It may be a fine pen but I'll never know because I'm off to return it: it's waaaaaay too expensive for a single pen. | 0negative

Rough Center Hole
The hole in the center is much smaller than I expected and the wood inside wasn't well sanded so the yarn tube that comes out is covered in wood pieces and has been caught and pulled. I bought this as a gift for my daughter for Christmas and I was really disappointed. I'm going to be purchasing her a plastic one from a craft store. | 0negative

trace projector
Listen to the first reviewer. This thing gets ridiculously hot because it lacks a fan. It does work in a very dark room and the image projected was fine. But after 15 minutes the tracer was overheated and almost too hot to touch. The paper image I placed underneath was also very hot to the touch. I just bought it and returned it. | 0negative

Susan Bates Adjustable Aluminum Hairpin Lace Loom 12"
This is one of my favorite looms. I made a baby blanket with it, a scarf for my fireplace; and several adult blankets as Christmas gifts. You can put this in a tote and take it anywhere you go. I took it to the doctors office; got tired of the outdated magazine lol. Everyone looked the lacy look of the blanket. Going to be making lacy shawls for Christmas this year. This loom is well worth the money. I bought this back in Dec. 2011 and it is still going strong. | 1positive

Works great for writing out the chords between lines of music
I originally bought a larger 4-fret stamp, but it was too large, so I bought this one, and so far, it has worked great. It is too small to identify which finger to use on each 'dot', but that is not an issue, I know which fingers to use, I just sometimes forget which fret and which string, and this takes care of that very well. | 1positive

Unsafe!
The torch started malfunctioning after a few months. I would turn the valve off but the flame wouldn't go out for several seconds or even longer. This gradually got worse, i.e. it kept burning longer and longer even after turning it off. It reached the point where I considered it unsafe and threw it away.The controls and buttons to light the torch feel flimsy. This could be the root cause. | 0negative

Horrible machine
We have had nothing but trouble with this machine from the very beginning. Repeated bobbin problems and tension problems. Just took it in for repair after having it about a year, because now we cannot sew at all with it, and our local shop says that this machine continually goes out of timing which means it won't sew. Of course, they sell a different brand and may be biased. Hopefully they will fix the dang thing and it will work correctly for awhile. Next time it screws up I am going to junk it and buy something completely different.We are experienced seamstresses. | 0negative

Very Good Writing Pen
I received this pen as a gift. I have not written with a fountain pen because I thought it might be messy, leaving ink on my fingers. But this pen is great and no ink splotches on my hands. I would definitely give this as a gift. | 1positive

Simple And Efficient!
I needed a sewing machine to hem my jeans quick! Needless to say, I didn't have one so I went out and got this one because it was pink and didn't cost a fortune! Besides the fact that it was cute, it did the job very well. So glad I made this purchase.If you are a professional however, you may want to look for something else. I have had few experiences with a sewing machine and am still learning to use the many stitch functions. For those who are like me and looking for something basic but does what it's supposed to do and a little more, this is perfect!What I love about it is the automatic bobbin winding system. Never had that luxury before. What I didn't like about it was the slideout accessory holder -- I would have prefered one that actually holds all the accessories without having to put it in a pouch because unless it's in a bag or pouch, everything would have come out as soon as you start sliding away. I guess I had one with that benefit and it felt like I downgraded otherwise, this product works great and is recommended. | 1positive

Good deal, but items don't match the picture
These are such good colored pencils, beautiful saturated colors, soft leads, adecuate case, good color selection. But the pictures don't match exactly what I received. It's supposed to be included 2 art crayons, I think pastels, and a metal sharpener. They didn't come. That's the only reason why I choose 3 instead of 5 stars, because you buy something and expect to receive THAT item. The case is the same without the purple sticker, pencils seem to be the same as the pictures just without the bonuses. And the mail packaging was not the ideal for such a fragile product.3 MONTHS AFTER: What I have thought about the bad packaging affects the quality of this item now. Definitely! Some of the pencils have to be sharpened too often because the leads are broken inside. That's only due to the completely inadecuate packaging for this kind of product. People who know about art supplies would recognize that pencils should be packed as very fragile items, otherwise, they won't last long. It's not noticeable, but you as a customer receive pencil with broken leads, and that's what happened to me. Now I chose only two stars. | 0negative

Optics work, LEDs are bust
I imagine these have terrible quality control and some work perfect and others don't. They aren't expensive, but they should work. The lens work, and they work fine so they are still usable. The headband is loose, and sloppy but it will stay in place with some clever balancing. The LED's came defective. I tried wiring them to separate power source to test what part of their circuit was defective. For sure the LEDs are blown out (out of the box).Anyway, they are still useable for what I am doing but they should be about half the price given the quality and the LEDs. I think in retrospect I would look for something that has a better fit and then worry about the lighting afterwards. | 0negative

Easiest Sewing in the World
This sewing machine is SOOOO awesome...my 11 year old daughter simply read the manual and she understood it completly!she hasn't had any problems with it yet that she couldnt figure out on her own!It's so easy to use and it comes with many many useful tools and features that most sewing machines that are more expensive than this one don't have...it uses very advanced technology!!!I love this sewing machine and recommend it for anyone who loves sewing! | 1positive

Okay product
This hole punch is so inexpensive it's probably worth the money you spend on it. I bought it a few days ago and am now sending it back because it didn't meet my expectations. It only punches about 5 or 6 sheets of paper at a time and the holes are closer to the edge than I would prefer; also, I don't know if it is a problem with my binder, the holes on the top and bottom are slightly too close together to give it a nice fit. If you only need to use it occasionally it seems sturdy enough to last. I am going to try something a little higher quality. | 0negative
|
Case very warped!
The case is hard to fit together because the sides of the cover are very warped. They curve inward and this causes the cover not to fit nicely onto the base. I have to pull quite hard on both sides in order for it to fit onto the base. Big pain and not easy to do with only one person. I did not send it back as I thought the rest of the Brother cases would be warped too. I would definitely not recommend buying this case. I would try a different one, like maybe the one SInger makes. | 0negative

Total crap paper...
These guys must have laughed hysterically when they decided to call this paper Heavyweight... or even White for that matter, and just for fun, made up the word Duo-Finish.First off, the paper itself was wavy and completely uneven, almost like it had been exposed to moisture or humidity. It was not smooth at all, is an icky, off white color, and both sides were equally crappy. It's as thin as cut-rate copy machine paper. Unlike the photo, it does not come on any kind of core, and the center is wound so tight you can't slide it onto any kind of rod to use as 'roll' paper unless you spend a half hour to hand loosen it. Even if you bother, it will end up sagging on whatever hanger rod you put it on instead of sit in a clean roll, making it very awkward to use.You can completely forget trying to use it as cheapo photography background paper, and is so crappy looking, will show in anything but the most blurred backgrounds. I can't imagine it's much good for anything EXCEPT letting a child scribble with crayons on it. It's basically going to end up as wadding for shipping/package filler.Seriously, pass this junk right on by and purchase a decent brand...It's pathetic.;(.. | 0negative

Perfect for quilting!
I use this adhesive dot stamper to temporarily stick my plastic templates to my fabrics for rotary cutting and it does a fantastic job of keeping the templates from sliding! For your more delicate fabrics (especially digitally printed ones) I use a piece of scrap fabric to dab the adhesive a few times in order to remove some of the stickiness before adhering to the fabrics. Especially great for cutting out applique patterns. | 1positive

Cool Greys
I love these markers, and even better at a low price!I found these markers to look alot better than the ChartPak AD Cool greys (which the Chartpak seem warmer). They do not let out as much pigment as others but i enjoy that as I can always add more with strokes and not have way too much greys that I do not want. | 1positive

Simplicity = NO customer service!
I recently purchased this machine through Amazon, and it was defective - the feeder teeth that move the fabric through the machine did not work/move at all. I called Simplicity's 1-800 customer help number at least 10 times; a machine answered every time. I left three messages and NEVER received a call back in two weeks. No other number is listed for the company. I finally returned the sewing machine through Amazon. (And I can't say enough about how great Amazon is about returns when something is wrong with the product - much appreciated!) I then bought another sewing machine but it is NOT a Simplicity - why buy from a company that won't even return your calls? I got a Brother instead ... so far, so good. | 0negative

We all love this!!!!
I bought it for my daughter since her room is a bit small and there's not too much room for a dollhouse AND a bookshelf. Since this is both it saves her a lot of room for her other toys and furniture. I put it together myself, it was pretty easy, just time consuming, it took me about 30 minutes and the instructions were easy to read and when I was done my daughter loved it!! She even enjoyed putting her stuffed animals and her books in it. I like how it has a door in the bottom where they can put extra things and also the roof lifts up and you can put stuff in there too, like hidden stuff if you want! It's great, it's a great size for children and I LOVE it!! | 1positive

Horrible!
The plastic bottle renders Sanford Higgins Calligraphy Ink totally useless for its intended purpose: calligraphy. The bottle is too lightweight, badly balanced and extremely prone to tipping over, and its rough, sharp mouth is no good for wiping the excess ink from your nib.A complete waste of money, plus it ruined a perfectly good pen. Unfortunately, it would cost more in transportation to return this bottle of ink than it cost to buy the horrid thing. I would give it TEN NEGATIVE stars if I could.Save your money and insist on calligraphy ink that comes in a proper GLASS bottle, such as Alvin, J. Herbin or Pelikan. | 0negative

LASTED ONLY ABOUT 7 MONTHS---
I purchased this item from Amazon on 02/21/2010 but the bulb is dead already. Under the technical detail, the company claims that it will last 10,000 hours, which is equivalent to more than 416 days of straight use, but it wasn't true for me. I believe I used it less than 1,000 hours... | 0negative

Keeps me painting!
The Paint Palette performed even better than I expected. Once I set it up--and I actually fudged and didn't do exactly what was recommended--it has kept paint ready to use for up to a week at a time so far. I'm able to open it and touch up a painting I thought I'd finished with a perfect paint match. Highly recommend it. | 1positive

Hope I can get it to work.
It may be too soon to judge the Brother portable sewing machine. I bought from Amazon for small tasks only.I used a Singer stationary for years, loved it and wish I still had it.Just about everything I try to do with this one frustrates me. There are instructions for use but they don't seem to be complete.If I was to buy tomorrow it would be a Singer with a drop in bobbin and self threading. Hope there's remedy because I don't need another "thing" in my house. | 0negative

Limited use
If you are punching items "stand alone" these are probably okay, although the spread on the handles is almost too wide for my hand to grasp comfortably. However, for me as a card maker, they are pretty much a loss because the depth is about 1/8" which is no good at all for positioning. I'll figure out a way to make my circle dies from Spellbinders work. If you are looking at being able to position a circle cut on the interior of a page, don't get this. | 0negative

a little disappointed
Bought this based on the reviews on Amazon. This is the only electric sewing machine I ever had. The design has a fancy shape, but it is really not very ergonomic. The left end of the machine is so bulging out that it makes access to the presser lever really uncomfortable. I guess this bulging space is taken by the light bulb and the so called automatic threading. The automatic threading a really very useless. It seldom works. After you have done all the hooping and looping of the thread to engage the threader, you might as well save some time by using a manual threader. The electronic speed control is really a joke. It really has one speed. When pressed lightly the motor simply moans and groans. Everything on the machine looks a little cheap, like its going to fall apart anytime. My manual singer can be faster than this electric one which at max speed kind of chugges along. Well, as I said this is my first electric sewing machine and I have nothing to compare it to. But will I recommend it ? Really no. | 0negative

I have beeen looking for a sewing table that can be stored out of sight and is adjustable for different applications. This fit the bill, I can use it as a table with plenty of workspace and my freearm sewing machine can become a flatbed. I would recommend this to others. | 1positive

the sand comes off
This is not quite what I thought it would be. The sand comes off. It's not see through so it obscures my cutting ruler measurements. It's small so it's not big of a deal. | 0negative

Sargent Art 66-5420 6-Jar Acrylic Colors
My son loves to use these paints. They are great for him to learn about colors and mixing them together and what effects white and black have when added to other colors. So far we have painted air dry clay with these paints. And we have painted on paper. | 1positive

Loupe 30X it ain't, but it's still great!
As many other reviewers had noted--and I had read their reviews before I ordered mine--this loupe is certainly not 30x. But it more than serves the purpose i use it for--magnifying jewelry parts. it's well made, has a nice finish and comes in a nice little box. I like the whole package and recommend it heartily. I can't say what the magnification factor is but my guess is somewhere between 10 and 20x. Cheers! | 1positive

Leather hole punch Tool, Heavy Duty
This tool was very well worth the money. It did the job and was easy to use. Far better then the one it replaced. | 1positive

Very nice pastels
This was my first time using pastels. I LOVE them. These are just soft enough to be smeared by finger or cloth. But still sturdy enough to draw sharp lines. Overall, nice product. | 1positive

JUST OKAY !
I bought this to iron on a plain white shirt for myself to wear on my wedding day. Well I followed the directions and it did not turn out so great! The stones did not all transfer on to the shirt!!! So I was not happy and did not wear it that day after all. | 0negative

DOES NOT WORK
This review is simple: This product does NOT work. At all!! I purchased this product to punch additional holes into my belts. This product is hard to use and perhaps even dangerous. It simply would not and could not put a hole through my leather belts, any of them. This product is futile and I never used it again. So don't be fooled. | 0negative

Disappointed
I bought several of the Tronex pliers because I was happy to see that they were made in the USA, and had decent reviews.With the cost of these, you would expect high quality.I agree with the other reviewers about the comfort of these pliers, as they are great in that regard. However, after only 1 month of use,my chainnose pliers broke at the rivet. I called the company and they told me to ship them back and they'd look at them. They determined that I used themto bend too heavy of a wire, and told me that they wouldn't be exchangeable, but would replace them with a factory second, just this one time.I was using them to for a crimp bead, ridiculous! Well, needless to say, it wasn't long before the second pair snapped the same way as the first. I'll bebuying Lindstom from now on. | 0negative

More work than advertised
Fiance was gonna use this for her shirt after our wedding. After the transfer, quite a few of the stones didn't stay and had to be glued on with fabric glue. She got a little glue on the shirt, tried to scratch it off, and made a small hole in the shirt. The shirt ended up in the trash. Wasn't a good day for the already stressed soon to be bride. Anyway, be prepared to glue some of the stones on if you buy this. At least it was relatively cheap... | 0negative

Initial Seal Wax Stamp
Very disappointed in this. I sent for the letter L. The loops of the letter are so tiny and I kept moving it around to see if I had it right side up. It was intended as a gift but I went out and bought a different one. The size of the whole item was good and I liked the wood handle. | 0negative

Very large project
The Old Mill Cottage is the biggest needlepoint I have done. It is providing many long hours of pleasure. I have done a couple of Dimensions smaller 5"x5" cotton floss projects and was very satisfied. This one is marked and charted well. The colors are pleasing and I am doing this one on a scroll frame because of the size. This kit uses blending two different colors of floss into one strand for shading in areas. I expect this kit to take me all winter to complete. I have received many complements on it so far. | 1positive

Super Large
This punch is the super large one, so don't get it unless your project paper is very large. I was buying it for wedding projects so I needed the small one which I also got. They are very sharp and are still sharp about one year later! Easy to use, but sometimes the cut off edges get stuck in the creases, in which there is an easy fix to that, just remove it. However, the most important things are there, they are easy to use, can cut 100lb card stock easily, I cute two 100lbs at the same time and that was simple, it doesn't go dull quickly and the cuts are smooth and aligned. | 1positive

They break... a lot
I bought these for the metals class I have been taking at my college. We had only been doing basic things such as piercing and these blade would break very easily. A lot of the time I couldn't even thread the saw with one without it snapping while slightly tightening the frame. Other times they would snap shortly after beginning to saw. I thought that it might have just been me since I was an amateur so I let my professor have a shot at it and even she found them unusable. She has used the same saw blade for all her projects for over a month.Do not buy these, they are not worth the money. | 0negative
