DELTA, B.C. — Power tool accessory maker EAB celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, launching a limited edition 40th Anniversary Blade. The brand got its start in 1976, with a philosophy of quality, competitive pricing, and recycling and remanufacturing everything possible. Today, it has three brands for its bits, hole saws, abrasives and other accessories: Exchange-A-Blade, Stay Sharp, and RazorBack. At its facility in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, EAB remanufactures more than 35,000 blades annually from its 40,000-square-foot facility. In the average year, the company says it manages to keep 60 tons of steel out of landfills—equivalent to 60 small family-sized cars. “Our customers have appreciated the savings our exchange system offers and supported our green initiatives since our inception,” says founder-owner Rob Forbes.
