I don't use my Makita jigsaw much but had a project recently & my blade selection was getting low. I also have bag of 'never again' blades, probably some random Crappy Tire or clone that either didn't cut well or wore out quickly. Amazingly very limited supply of 'good' brand name stuff on Amazon etc. The Home Depot / Lowes Rona box store tend to carry certain lines but sparse selection like blade style / TPI / tooth configuration... compared to a much wider offerings in blade maker catalogs & always on the high price end. Amazon has some interesting ones (China) that might be OK but I wasn't willing to gamble.

Anyways I found a good selection here of all places. I got a variety of Makita & they are awesome. Shipping was very quick & reasonable (combined with other items). I just wish the Tapmatic cutting fluid would come back in stock, they are less than KBC which I am starting to loathe. So check them out as you are shopping, some things lower, some not, pays to have a look though.
