Stanley introduced today the debut of its new Stanley Carbide Utility Blades, which the company is claiming lasts more than 5x longer than competitors because of their use of Carbide Blade Technology. These new Carbide utility blades (11-800, 11-800T and 11-800L) are made to last longer, maintain first-cut sharpness and provide snap resistance – 3 important factors that today’s pros require. Stanley’s Carbide utility blades provide serious pros the durability they need to keep working, on tough materials like roofing felt and shingles, drywall, ceiling tile, and other building items that prove challenging for traditional blades.
“The introduction of the new Stanley CARBIDE blades represents a strong commitment to innovation that began with extensive field research with professional contractors who rely on our products every day. By lasting significantly longer than other blades on the market, we’re confident our new utility blades will meet contractors’ needs and lead to greater productivity on the jobsite.”

Stanley Carbide Utility Blades Features
Stanley’s Carbide Utility Blades are distinctively manufactured using a patent-pending procedure that makes use of high-powered laser technology to deposit tungsten carbide powder right onto blade’s edge – where it’s needed the most.
Stanley then uses diamond wheels to grind a perfectly sharp angle on each Carbide blade. They’ve got the process optimized for speed and efficiency while still meeting all of the quality parameters they specified in the design. This high-speed process produces a durable sharp edge while not losing flexibility in the body of the blade itself.
The Carbide Utility Blades are available in stores and online now. They come in packs of 5 (11-800) for $4.99, packs of 10 (11-800T) for $7.99 and packs of 50 (11-800L) for $24.99.
