I think you get what you pay for. No problem with standard blades (WEN---so we're not talking high quality), but these skill blades are inaccurate, have a thicker kerf for some reason, and take forever to cut through material if you don't want to risk it. The blade snapped under force, which has happened to both I tried. In the end I just threw the other one away. Cheap stuff, mine had a few "kinks" on the blade when opening it. Skip this product and save yourself a finger or two.
