    No bad for having it shipped to your home.

    But if you have a harbor freight near you they have the 24in for $5.99

    No. The blade's not that strong, and it bends or gives slightly. The handle is plastic. If you paint, the blade has to go *under* the trim, or the paint will flow beyond the blade to the surface you are trying to protect. I have 2 of these, in different sizes, and I find they are hardly used because of these issues, and that painters tape and/or rosin paper is a much better option.

    Is it ideal for cutting trim?
    Does it have a strong stainless steel blade?

    Maybe I was using it wrong but when i tried to use these to mask while painting it was a disaster. paint all over the surface i was trying to protect. I did however use it to smooth out some expanding foam i had applied and it worked great for that

    So if one doesn't have prime, such as myself, and u don't hit the minimum free shipping limit b4 deal is over, the HF one is a comparable option

    I'm with you guys. I've had something like this for decades and every few years I think I should try it again, but always just go back to taping or carefully edging by hand with a nice little stubby angled brush.

    HF normally has 30% coupon 2 to 3 times a year. Good deal if you live nearby.
