HF blades are about half the cost of Dremels. Any hands-on experience with the HF version beyond the usual buyer beware? I dont use the Dremel often.


Larry, I seem to find a use for my Bosch multi-tool in just about every
project I tackle. Like many others, I wonder how I ever got along
without it.

That said, blades ARE expensive. My solution has been to bide my time
and buy whatever is out there on sale in quantity when they are available.

You're in my neck of the woods (more or less) so I'd recommend the
occasional trip to your local Menard's. I think the last three or four
purchases have been their sale items. Not unusual to pick up a rather
large assortment packed in a nice plastic container and pay less than.t $20.

No experience, that I recall, with Harbor Freight. Basic premise is
treat the blades as disposables and don't view the purchase as buying a
Forrest WW II. Buy quantity vs. quality
