Review for FICBOX 45PCS Cutting Blades for Explore Air/Air 2 Maker Expr... - Liza Beth - Viralix

I have a lot of decorating to do on cups, shirts, ornaments, etc. this holiday season so I knew I would need to replace the cutting blade on my Cricut before I got started on my projects. I was looking around and stumbled across this deal. This entire set costs less than one single blade at the craft store. The set comes with 45 blades. It includes twenty five pieces of 45 Degree Standard Blades (Red Cap),  ten pieces of 60 Degree Deep Cut Blades ( Blue Cap) and ten pieces of 30 Degree Blades (Yellow Cap). 

The 45 degree blades are used for most general purpose cuts such as cutting glitter paper, foiled card stock, adhesive foil, poster board, computer paper, vinyl, and stickers . The 60 degree blade does the most intricate and delicate cuts such as cutting window tint, film and rice paper. The 30 degree blade is recommended for cutting magnet, chipboard, stamp material, thick card stock, foam sheets, cardboard, and some fabrics. The 30 degree blade must be used with the deep-point blade housing. The blades can cut items up to 0.25mm thick such as glitter paper, adhesive foil, and computer paper, chipboard, stamp material, thick cardstock, foam sheets, cardboard, balsa wood, and some fabrics. These blades will work with the Cricut Explore Air, Explore Air 2, the Cricut Maker and the Cricut Expression. These blades work very well and function exactly like the branded blades.  

There were a few things that I didn't like about this set that was mainly related to the packaging of the product. The set didn't come with any instructions or documentation showing how to use the blades and there was nothing that labeled the blades. I needed to go back to the product page to find out which blade coordinated with which color cap. A label on the box would have been very helpful. I had to create one for myself so that I would not have to keep looking it up every time I will need to change the blade. Also, the blades come all mixed in a small plastic bag inside a small plastic box. The box doesn't latch very well so even a small bump will cause it to open and spill the sharp blades which could then potentially cause a very serious injury. I would have preferred a more sturdy and secure latching box with individual compartments separating the blades so they were more organized by the type of blade.
