FAQs
Can I replace the blades once they become dull?
The set is designed for hobby work; while individual blades are not sold separately by Rolson, the kit includes a wide enough variety to keep you working for a long time.
Is this set suitable for cutting leather?
Yes, it can be used for light leather crafting, provided you use the appropriate sharp blade and apply multiple shallow passes rather than trying to cut through in one go.
How do I safely change the blades?
Always hold the blade by the non-sharp edge or use tweezers to handle it, and ensure you are working on a flat, stable surface.
Are the handles compatible with standard scalpel blades?
The handles are designed specifically for this set, though some may be compatible with standard hobby blade types found in the craft industry.
What is the best way to clean the handles?
A soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh solvents that might damage the plastic components or rubber grips.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels loose inside the handle
Ensure the collet nut at the end of the handle is tightened securely by rotating it clockwise until the blade is held firmly.
Blade snap during use
The blade is likely too delicate for the material thickness. Switch to a thicker blade or a saw blade for more robust materials.
Handle grip slipping
Ensure your hands are free of oils or debris, and consider using the rubberized grip handles if you are applying high pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your set, always match the blade type to the material you are cutting; for instance, do not use thin scalpel blades to cut thick, dense card or wood, as they are prone to snapping. When swapping blades, ensure the collet or handle chuck is tightened firmly to prevent blade wobble.
Maintain the tools by wiping them down with a light machine oil after use if you have been working with damp materials or in humid environments to prevent corrosion. Store all sharp items securely in the provided case, and keep the set out of reach of children. The sanding block can be cleaned by lightly brushing off accumulated dust or replaced with small strips of adhesive-backed sandpaper if the original surface loses its grit.
