Sure I could have bought Cricut brand or a huge package of 20 blades for my Explore Air 2, but I chose this brand with 5 blades because of mostly good reviews and sometimes, well, you get what you pay for. My Circut blade was still cutting well, but needed blades for when it wouldn't cut well any longer. I was working on a special project and figured I'd try the new blades and compare. These blades just cut perfectly and, so I am very happy with my purchase. I'll buy more when these get well used. Five blades will last me a very long time since I am not a big crafter at this point. Oh, I cut both cardstock and vinyl with them with no trouble at all.
