Saw this article about cocoa prices going up. Not sure how that affects my angle grinder, but maybe I should stock up on flap discs before inflation hits everything? What do you guys think?

Tim, you might be onto something. But honestly, I'm sticking with Harbor Freight discs until prices actually go up. Not gonna pay more for a brand name that might not even be affected by cocoa prices? Ha.

You guys are missing the bigger picture. Cocoa is in abrasives? No, but higher commodity prices mean higher shipping costs, which means everything goes up. Buy quality now before the price hike hits the big brands. My Makita grinder deserves good discs.

Gary's got a point. I've been using Diablo blades and they last forever. Might grab a few extra packs before the next price wave. Steve, your Harbor Freight stuff might get the job done but when you're doing a big deck job, you don't want to run out mid-cut.
