Are Cheap Multitool Blades from Temu Worth It?

Temu, AliExpress, Shein — these platforms are filled with tools and accessories at rock-bottom prices. Multitool blades for a few bucks? Sounds like a deal… especially when branded ones can cost 5 to 10 times more.

But is it really worth it?
Do cheap blades = poor quality?
And can you still save them if they go dull fast?

Let’s break it down.

Do Temu blades come from the same factories as branded ones?

Actually — yes.
Most blades are made in China, whether you buy from Temu, Amazon, or a premium store.

But here’s the difference:

👉 Branded blades go through strict quality control (QC)
👉 They use better materials (like real bi-metal or HCS steel)
👉 They’re tested, measured, and consistent

Cheap blades often:

• use soft or mixed metals that dull quickly
• have uneven teeth or poor welds
• are "ghost batches" (products rejected by major brands)

What can go wrong with cheap blades?

• Dull after 2–3 cuts
• Bent, warped, or poor precision
• Frustration mid-job
• Compatibility issues with certain multitools
• No return policy or warranty
