The 16005 or 16007 handles in Excel. The second material is aluminum.
These aren't made of stainless steel, so don't expect them to last long.
My X-handles make up the majority of my aliases. Try loosening the knurled nut a lot more than it appears you need to. Acto brand and these blades work fine. It's almost time to take it off. After that, tap the holder on the side to loosen up the slotted part that holds the blade. If you've really cranked it down, that slotted bit can get wedged in so tight that the slot won't easily open up, making it difficult to slide the new blade in.
They come in a small storage case made of hard plastic. No, they're just a 5 pack of replacement blades if you're asking if they come with a knife handle to hold the blade while you use it.

These are incredible blades! Until I bought these replacement blades, I had no idea how dull my old one was. The story of how I discovered this isn't important; I can now slice through anything, including the very fabric of space and time. To summarize, your robot overlords will be defeated in the year 2087. That's something to look forward to at the very least. br>br>All of this likely explains why Amazon used such bulky packaging for two tiny blade packets. I had assumed that a padded envelope would suffice, but they clearly wanted to put some distance between the blades and any careless handling. In fact, it's a wonder they didn't use a larger box, preferably lined with a thin layer of Mylar and facing inwards with the reflective side facing inwards. Amazon, it's best not to take any chances with blades like this.
These were purchased to replace the X-Acto chisel blades that came with the machine. Acto set. These blades are used to scrape caulk from the inside of my glass shower stall. The first X-Men movie Acto blades were narrower (the width of the blade was the same as the tang that went into the handle). These are a little wider, but I believe that this is a disadvantage because the blade flexes too much at the blade-tang junction. Perhaps the narrower tang isn't strong enough to handle the extra leverage provided by the wider blade. I don't believe it's a true chisel blade because it's too flexible. Aside from that, they arrived on time and prepared to work.
I went out and purchased some X-ray films. Because the seller used a photo that said "Made in USA," I purchased 18 acto brand blades. But X- The acto company (now a subsidiary of Elmer's Glue and a sub-distributor of Elmer's Glue) was founded in the 1960s. subsidiary of a large corporation) has now sold us out, and all of their products are now made in China. So the X- The acto brand returned to Amazon, and I placed an order for these. They are well-made (in the United States) and have a razor-sharp edge. Purchase products made in America!.
I bought a five-pack to use in my model-making, and I've already used three of them in less than two weeks. These do not last as long as Xacto; I've had an Xacto version of this for over a year and have yet to break it! Although these are half the price of the Xacto version, they will cost you more in the long run due to the frequency with which you will need to replace them!.
The blades arrived quickly and are extremely sharp. They are packaged in a handy plastic tube with a small red lid. However, because the tube is flexible, they can easily cut their way out, so proceed with caution. Every day, I use them to cut through thick aircraft adhesives and rubber and plastic gasket-like materials. So far, they've done a fantastic job. Excel is a great brand to go with here, and I'd buy it again.
I used an Acto knife to cut a notch in one side of a long strip of wood, and it worked perfectly! It appears to be of high quality. My purchase was a success!.
Blades from the Acto brand. I had a couple of older X-rays that I needed to get rid of. acto brand blades to compare with these (probably 20 to 30 years ago, when they were still made in the US), as well as the blades X- Acto is a company that produces products right now. These are slightly heavier than the older blades, which are, of course, much heavier than the ones they now produce. They're extremely durable and appear to be holding up well. I would buy from them again without a doubt. They're noticeably thicker than the Chinese-made X-ray glasses. If you're working on a project with acto blades, keep that in mind.
It does exactly what it says.
