HF warrior cutting wheels

[lightning02]

there is a video going around on FB with these HF warrior cutting wheels where someone taking off the sticker and they have a dewalt sticker on the underside. any truth to this?

Seeing as the label is printed on I would have to say false. Still fairly good for the price.

if that is true , then I don't know which is worse.... the person selling you the rejects or the person supplying the rejects.

Its always neat when the first response to the OP is the correct one, and then folks keep on plowing through a meaningless discussion as if the facts hadn’t come out.

How about a link to the video??

That's normal. Didn't you know? Everyone's opinion is a good opinion. Everyone's opinion needs to be heard. If there was only one right answer, it would be like math. That would be no fun at all. Guessing games are fun!

Yep. All the HF cutting wheels I've seen have printed/painted labels.

And they work great.



That said, it would not be all that shocking if most or all brands of cutting wheels were made in the same few factories. Can't be that many places that make these things.

DeWalt certainly isn't having them hand-crafted by unionized Keebler elves in a very special tree in Minnesota. They're having them stamped out by the zillions by the same Chinese factory everyone else uses. Change the label squirter and keep rolling.

Unless they've changed in the last year all the Dewalt cutting wheels I've seen were made in Turkey...

Went and looked at some of mine. I can positively guarantee that they DO NOT have stickers on them. Definitely printed straight onto the disk

i cant say weather they do or dont. i dont use them. been around 3 people that use HF cutting wheels and they exploded. i always use norton, they have done well for me over the years.

yep, 10,000 rpm spinning objects that cut steel, kinda have to be safe.
horrible fright does not meet that criteria.
dewalt cutting blades, ****. they wear too quiclky. i threw out a full box of 50, less 2

I gotta agree with Metaldad. I did try HF cutoff wheels before Warrior’s and first one gernaded as soon as it got up to speed. Ash canned the rest and went back to Metabo or Norton’s now. Cutoff wheel isn’t something you want to dis-assemble on you

Were Dewalt produces their tools and consumables tends to vary and change over time, and for something like cutting wheels, it’s fully possible that a supplier that supplied Dewalt could have also supplied Harbor Freight at some time.
The Dewalt label under the Harbor Freight label could have been a supplier Dewwlt used getting stuck with labeled cutting wheels after Dewalt ditched them, so they relabeled the wheels for Harbor Freight. Whether Dewalt ditched them because they got a better deal elsewhere, or because Dewalt found the wherls not to meet their standards would be a better question.
Given that cutting wheels are extremely dangerous when they fail and explode, it’s not something I would purchase from Harbor Freight.
If you check abrasive suppliers, there are USA made wheels that get private labelled that are decent quality, but you would have to buy box quantities.

Made in U S A or the similar - gernaded cut off wheels does not sound good.

Well, I'll be! Never would have guessed that.

I have a feeling Stanley’s Black and Decker legal team will have a field day with this.... LOL

Video shows the sticker going straight to the edge, like its applied then the disc is cut so it wont be apparent. Try peeling the very edge or break a disc in half.

I have broke them. Mine definitely do not have a sticker. You cant see in my picture but these definently have directly printed labels. May be different elsewhere
