10 Pack Exacto Knife Set, Stainless Steel Craft Knife Kit for Pumpkin Carving, DIY, Art, Cutting, Stencil

Some time ago, I bought an X-acto brand blade holder. It fit nicely with the two large blades I had laying around. When said blades got dull, I bought a pack of X-acto brand blades...and they were too small to fit in the holder. Go figure.Well, that holder recently disappeared. I suspect someone "borrowed" it and I'll never see it again. So I got this pack so I could have extra holders.To my delight, these holders are not large, so they fit the blades that I bought back then! As with many other reviewers, I've had issues with the blade in these holders loosening. One measure I take to stop this from happening is I take some slip joint pliers (channel locks or vice grips would work for this as well) and clamp the pliers jaws onto the holder ring. I use just enough clamping force that the pliers won't slip when I turn them, but not so much force that I scrape up the ring. Then use the pliers as a lever to further tighten the ring. Again, don't try to tighten it too much! Either the pliers will slip, you'll mangle the ring, or worse, you could strip the threads on the ring or the holder.Doing that properly will keep the blade still for normal use. The blade will still loosen and move if you bear down on it, but at that point, you will be in danger of breaking the blade or damaging it's edge. Again, these are not large holders, so subsequently they are built for standard sized blades, not the bigger, beefier blades.Using my trick described above, the blades only loosen during heavy work and I use these primarily for post processing 3D prints. Sometimes that's simply slicing off plastic "whiskers" off of a 3D print, sometimes it's light deburring- breaking a sharp edge. And sometimes it's the burly task of removing an "elephant's foot"- a very thick burr of plastic at the base of a 3D print. These holders do all of the above tasks well enough, as well as other tasks like slicing strips of felt or paper.Yes, the holders can't keep the blades tight when I'm slicing off an elephant's foot off a 3D print, but for one, these holders aren't designed for that, and two, I paid just a few dollars more for this pack of holders over what I paid for my now lost big holder, so for the value I got, I'm fine with having to stop and retighten the holders on occasion for heavy work.

We were working on a project and needed the knives. They arrived quickly, great product, and they were so easy to work with on our project. Love them! Thank you!

A noticably cheaper version of an Xacto knife. Does everything you'd need it to do.

This is a great Exacto Knife set. Lots of blades of varying sizes and uses. Two knives, not just one, and a flimsy ruler. My only suggestion would be that it would have been nice if it came in a case or bag to keep everything together. Fortunately, I have a small box that can hold everything.

I make miniature Barbie items and these are great for line scoring

I was looking for just a set of replacement Xacto blades and this incredible set was $1 more. with many more extra blades and in 3 different sizes + 2 exacto-like knives, another slidey knife and a ruler. You cant beat that for value. Just got them so lets see how quickly the blades go blunt..

They arrived on time, and I like that each exacto knife has a top to cover the blade. This is perfect for storing and preventing cuts!

I bought this for leather work and model making. The #17 corners like to curl and twist in relatively light leather. They chip easily! It's low quality steel. The handles don't lock in at all. That being said, they are light and easy to use.
