Product Information
Full details
This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require precise cutting in potentially wet environments, such as wallpaper installers and window film applicators. The key benefit is the durable stainless steel construction offering rust resistance for consistent performance. A minor caveat is that these are standard duty blades, best suited for materials that do not require excessive force. The OLFA 9282AB-50S is a pack of 50, 9mm, 13-segment snap-off blades made from high-quality stainless steel, designed for extended use and resistance to moisture. The included blade container also functions as a snapper for used segments.

FAQs
Are these blades suitable for heavy-duty materials like thick plastic or metal?
No, these are standard duty 9mm blades. For heavier materials, OLFA offers specialized heavy-duty blades and handles.
How do I safely dispose of used blade segments?
The included blade container features an integrated snapper. Place the used segment into the designated slot and apply firm pressure to break it off. Dispose of the broken segments in a designated sharps container or appropriate waste receptacle.
Can I use these blades with any brand of utility knife handle?
These blades are specifically designed for OLFA standard duty handles that accept 9mm blades. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
How many segments are on each blade?
Each blade consists of 13 individual segments that can be snapped off to reveal a fresh cutting edge.
What makes these blades suitable for wet environments?
The blades are made of high-quality stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, maintaining performance even when exposed to moisture.
Do I need to purchase a handle separately?
Yes, these are replacement blades only. You will need an OLFA standard duty handle compatible with 9mm blades to use them.
What is the weight of this 50-pack?
The approximate weight of the 50-pack is 0.220462262 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Blade is not cutting cleanly
Snap off the dull segment using the integrated snapper. Extend a fresh segment for a sharper cutting edge.
Blade seems sticky or difficult to extend/retract
Ensure the blade is clean and free from debris. Check the handle mechanism for obstructions. If exposed to moisture, dry the blade and handle thoroughly.
Blade snaps unexpectedly while cutting
Ensure the blade is securely locked in the handle mechanism. Avoid applying excessive sideways pressure.
Container snapper is difficult to use
Ensure the segment is correctly positioned in the snapper groove before applying pressure. If debris is present, clean the snapper groove.
