Blades for Maker 4 3/Maker/Explore 4 3/Air 2/Air, 40 Pack Replacement Blade for Venture Maker 4 Explore 3 Air Air 2 Maker Maker 3 Cutting Machine

I used a brand new blade that came with my Cricut Explore Air 2 and it worked beautifully. Wanting to have extra blades on hand, I purchased this multiple pack of blades. I figured that for the price, if they didn't work, I wouldn't be out a lot of money and would still have time to order the Cricut brand name blades. When these got to my house, I immediately took the Cricut blade out and put one of these in for comparison. I have made no less than 10 projects so far (one of them a big one with several intricate cuts in cardstock), I've cut glitter paper, foiled cardstock, adhesive foil, posterboard, and computer paper (print and cut) with the same blade and they've been just as good as the brand new Cricut blade. No dulling of blade detected. The only problem I had was with the adhesive foil, however, it was not the blade's fault, it was operator! I had the machine set to cut the wrong type of material! Once I fixed the setting, the adhesive foil cut like a dream. I would DEFINITELY buy these blades again and would absolutely recommend them to others!

These are great, I was really nervous but they cut just as good as original & I have had no issues at all. You cannot beat the price!

Love these replacement blades. I use my Cricut machine daily for my Amazon homemade, Etsy and eBay stores. Mostly cutting Oracle 651 and HTV vinyl. These are a great deal.First, they cut just like the Cricut blades and with being able to simply replace them (I do every month) without the huge expense of the name brand ones, I save so much.Most of my cuts are for larger items so I don't mess with the tiny fonts like some of the negative reviews say they struggle with. Even my tea towels turn out great with these.

I really like the price and selection. Only time will tell if the performance is in line with the price. So far, I'm impressed.

I was hesitant at first about buying a different brand due to prior purchases from other vendors/brands. However, these blades fit and cut just as the cricut blades do. And I got 10 blades for half the price of 1 cricut blade. I won't have to "make it last" or pamper my blades anymore to keep them sharp. I can easily and efficiently change my blades with plenty of replacements now.

I only used the red ones so far. The cut was perfect.I have Cricut Maker. The FB Cricket groups suggest using tin foil to sharpen the blades. It. Does. Not. Work. If your blade is not cutting clean, it’s time for a replacement. The red one was perfect for card stocks. I can’t wait to try the others for different materials.

These are really convenient to have when you make lots of vinyl on different materials. They work really well.

Great product
