What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
The handle is basically junk
Dreadful quality
These are low quality
Breaks very easily
Snapped
I wouldnt expect them to be particularly durable
doesnt feel robust
no confidence in the strength of the shaft
Cheap and flimsy
very difficult to fit into the handle
Unfit for use
Not useable
not as per the pictures advertised
The blades are fine however the scalpel holder is not a Surgiclass one as shown in the product description
Not Actually Size 10 Blades. Product Description says Size 10. Box says Size 10. Photo on box shows Size 10. Upon opening sterile pouches, blades are size 11. Frustrating as not suitable for intended use.

resulting in more blade changes which given the extremely tight awkward fit is risky
