"I was very happy that I found these particular machine needles. I've been using them since they arrived in the mail several days ago and still have not broken one needle compared to the regular machine needles I had been using for several months. Some days I was going through as many as 5 needles a day, sometimes more due to breakage. I didn't even know these special needles existed until I accidentally came across them on your website, they aren't found on most other web sites that sell machine needles, including Amazon (that I know of). It was a pleasure doing business with Allbrands and I will be a repeat customer. Thank you!". Debra M.
The HLX5 Chrome and/or PD Titanium is in reality a step up from the Schmetz 130/705H-J since they are an “Industrial Needle” with a flat shank. Keep in mind that the Schmetz 130/705H-J points are medium ball point so you might want to use the HLX5 in BP in chrome & PD. The HAX130EBBR can also be used in place of the Schmetz Jeans as they too have a reinforced blade and are automatically ball point.
