They have free public healthcare, less crime, legal marijuana, AND BETTER CUTOFF WHEELS!  Red Green, here I come.

I just ordered some based on the glowing reviews they're getting in here. 

I like their "cut, grind, finish" all in 1 pack.

I switched from Harbor Frieght to Dewalt because I moved too far from HF and Home Depot was much more convenient. I haven't blown one up since and I find the name brand ones cut easier and last longer. Or I'm just better at using them now...

My favorite:

I think this thread was bumped by a canoe, but it worked as good timing for me, just ordered from benchmark.

I like the unintended focus on the use of safety gear here.  I too have had many an H-F wheel splode in my face, but hey, it was mostly protected by a crappy H-F face protector.  Same thing goes for the hands, with gloves of leather; contrary to popular west coast lizard-based theory, fingers do not grow back after leaving the body. 

Don't be the pro-genius on Y-tube who doesn't "need" basic safety equipment to use what is so commonly and reasonably known as a "death wheel."

Oh, yeah.  Dollars have been spent on the competition, but no outstanding reason ever kept me from going back to cheap-o H-F wheels.  Most of them don't splode . . .

Man, I was an hf wheel god. Then I had to buy dewalts. Holy berkeley do they last. Five times as long as an hf. Saves $$$, time and bullE36 M3 hassle.

I, too, favour wearing some dead cow.  Gloves at least slow the cutter down before it gets me.
