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.

Prior to these I brought 10 Bosch blades for the same price as 100 of these. The Bosch blades were going blunt after around 20 uses each side of cutting extremely thin magazine paper, I’ve cut at least 80 each side of these and the blades are still going strong. So happy that I found these as they’re such good quality and value for money. Yes the box holding them is rubbish, it fell apart when I opened the packaging but who cares when the product is so good, I just put them in a small glass box for storage. Huge thumbs up 👍

nice and sharp,good value

What's surprising with this is you get 100 very sharp blades for the same price as 10 in a cardboard box. These are by far the better value and genuine Stanley blades to fit your handles of the same design. With a 100 in the holder, the 1st couple of blades are difficult to extract as they are well packed in, and with them being very sharp, be careful. The box has a handy hole, so you can hang on your DiY shelf. Definitely Recommended.

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..).

Good blades very sharp

Really hard to access blades had to remove back which is dangerous and then had to cut the gap where the blades come out for them to be removed all in all not great and could cause nasty cuts

Large pack. Could be a bit difficult to get the blades out. Price was really good and should keep me going with craft projects for quite a while
