    Im using floorwise at the moment but they seem to have gone very flimsy and wear out really quick,
    Sometimes use my suppliers own brand sheffield blades witch seem better,
    What do you guys use and are they much cop.

    I'm using floorwise hd blades. They sent me a pack on trial of new blades last week, they held their edge a lot better on a fairly tough backed carpet. Although the last box of hd blades I got from Headlam lasted really well on Amtico and Karndean

    added more graphite to the mix. blades were lasting seconds etc
