Stanley 11-921L 50-Pack Heavy Duty Utility Blades with Dispenser

Work as advertised and keep an edge for a reasonable time. I like it as a 'beater' instead of hitting staples and stuff with a nicer blade when I can avoid it. Good value. I'm going to try sharpening one as an experiment. First (half) of a blade lasted me maybe 3 weeks of casual use - though I'll spin it around to get a few more weeks out of the other half that's been inside the tool.

I had to remodel a lot of my house myself, which meant doing a lot of drywall in the process. This 50-pack was more than enough to get the job done. Blades are made in the U.S.A which is always a nice bonus. Functionally though, on only a few blades did I break the tip off - they were quite sturdy. They kept their edge really well scoring many dozens of drywall pieces, and then just flip the blade around and have another sharp edge. The dispenser is also pretty nice, makes getting new blades just a quick slip of the thumb over the dispenser and grab some new blades and fill up my utility knife. As a reference, I pair these with the very non-fancy old style stanley knife with no frills (which I like it that way) - I use the Stanley 99 4 X Stanley 10-099 6-Inch Classic 99 Retractable Utility Knife All in all, great blades at a reasonable price.

Blades arent the greatest quality but it shipped really fast. Really good mechanism to dispense the blade and the amount you get in this pack will last you quite a while, especially if you are not using your knife everyday. Has two holes in the casing so you can hang it on the wall like I did.

Amazon combines all reviews for this product, no matter what the quantity, but this review is for the pack of 50 utility type razor blades, which are used in utility knives and other cutting tools, often referred to as “box cutters”. The blades are very good quality, and are conveniently housed in a plastic dispenser. The dispenser works well, as sliding a finger across the top causes a blade to slide out from the right side of the dispenser. The plastic dispenser snaps together, however if you happen to drop it, the housing could separate and spill out a stack of razors all over the place. I would recommend wrapping some transparent tape around the dispenser housing to insure that it does not accidentally snap open. A couple of turns of 1” wide tape is cheap insurance. The performance and quality of these blades is not an issue, but what prospective buyers might want to be aware of is that the price at Amazon often jumps up and then drops down to about $5.49 (which is what I paid). This “step up and drop down” pattern is not usual, but how long it may continue is unknown. While you can certainly save buying in bulk, obviously this item is a much better buy at $5.49 than at $7.11, so shop carefully.

Not sure if I have fully recovered yet from the shock of seeing "Made In USA With Global Materials". This was on the outside packaging and I wonder if it refers to the cardboard and plastic packaging. The Dispenser has the same notice and now I wonder if that refers to just the dispenser. I hate to be so skeptical but after all these years of nothing but "Made In China" I have a difficult time believing that at last there is a product actually made in the USA even if it is just the carton and the dispenser. The blades themselves have some markings but not the country of manufacture. Ok, enough of the gadzooks factor. You get fifty sharp and sturdy Stanley (Stanley is imprinted on the blades) box cutter blades. They are in a plastic dispenser designed for easy blade removal. Just a light touch will slide the blade out of the dispenser and move the next blade into the vacated space. I have been using a Stanley cutter with these same types of blades and they have performed admirably. At approximately 20 cents apiece these blades are well worth the cost. I easily get 10 cents worth of use from each end of the blades. Nice prodct at a reasonable cost.
