Hmm - if they're anything like other Aldi blades I've experienced they're "single use"

 

[KraftyKev]

Ah, So that would imply the Metal ones are "No Use"

Have a couple of boxes of these, work fine in wood and plastic but they do dull pretty quickly. I would have thought the so called metal cutting blades are too coarse to be of much use, but never actually tried them on metal. Very cheap, so good for jobs where you know the blade is going to have a hard time, tree roots etc, and you dont want to ruin a good one.
