Replacement Blades Compatible with Explore Air 2/Air 3 /Maker/Maker 3

The THANMAO 20 Pcs Replacement Blades work perfectly with my Cricut Explore. They’re sharp, precise, and cut cleanly through all my materials. Great value for the quantity and quality—definitely a must-have for regular crafters!

Product is as described. Great less expensive option.

These are very good and you get quite a few in the package. They seem to cut just as good as the original little blades had no problem in my Cricut. I recommend these in your cricket. I have a Cricut air 2 working well

UPDATE : I contacted the seller and they responded super fast to either issue a refund or a replacement. They were easy to get a hold of and quick to resolve the issue. I will be reordering from them when I am up for new blades (I purchased different ones) just based on how they handled my concern. All the reviews are great and I think I got a bad batch. I installed the standard media blade in my explore air 2 and it did not cut my vinyl. I ensured it was in properly and nothing. It fits perfect it’s just not cutting the way it’s advertised to.

I was worried they wouldn’t work but took the chance. I used the regular blade so far and it worked great. The blade quality is perfect and it fit in the blade compartment perfectly I have cut cardstock and vinyl so far and the blade quality seems durable. I would definitely recommend these.

First of all, I received all 20 blades. As you can see from the images, I did testing with each version of the generic blades and with a Cricut brand standard blade. The images on the website are accurate but the written description is not. The written description says 10x blue (45 degree) and while I did get 10 of the 45 degree angle ones, the caps were red. So just to clarify, when I tested, red is 45 degree, yellow is 60 degree and blue is 35 degree. So with cricut cardstock (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWBRS9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) the blue (35 degree) and yellow (60 degree) had the most issues with cutting. The red blade worked pretty well, though there was a couple spots it did not cut on the corners properly. But it looks fine, and the letters I cut were pretty curvy which can always cause that in my experience with cardstock. With the lower quality white vinyl that I used, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LUUF5MM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 you can see from the images that all blades even the brand new cricut brand blade had issues cutting. I was not that surprised because the design was small. The blue blade worked the best for this, even better than the cricut brand blade. Every run was done using the washi paper setting under custom settings. It is what I always use for vinyl. With the higher quality holographic vinyl, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNLBYLQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the outcome for all blades was pretty excellent but the blue blade really shines for this one, almost exactly as good as the cricut blade. Same mat and settings as the white vinyl. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with these blades. I really feel like I could tweak more settings depending on what blade I am using and get the results I need. For the price, I don’t really care if I can only use them for less intricate things and use the cricut brand for the intricate stuff. Excellent deal!

Worked well on cricut air 3

work well great price. no reason to poke my eyes out.

Great product

Good enough for the purpose it was purchased for

These work as well as the one that came with my Cricut.

these are great. blades can be expensive and this is a great alternative to Cricut blades. They work great

I mainly use my cricut maker 3 for paper and vinyl craft. After reading a few reviews stating that the blades were horrible for paper I decided to take a risk and buy these blades. The standard blade (red cover) cuts paper like butter and I didn’t have any adjustment issues trying to find the right settings. There are few 1 star ratings complaining that these blades are a scoring tool.. please note that the blade has a coloured protective case to indicate what blade it is and to protect the blade itself. This must be REMOVED prior to use.
