Company Profile

Arbutus Grinders Limited has been in business at its current location since the 1970's. The company, established by Guy Boileau, is best known for its unique hand tool the Steel Stud Crimper. The Steel Stud Crimper was initially developed, in the late sixties, by Guy Boileau, in conjunction with the help of local drywall contractors. Arbutus Grinders Limited secured both United States and Canadian patents for the Steel Stud Crimper in 1968 and as time went on the word, about the Steel Stud Crimper, spread through the entire drywall industry.

Arbutus Grinders Limited continues to improve the Steel Stud Crimper through the use of creative design and evolving manufacturing processes. We have gained a reputation for a superior quality tool that is warranted against defects and is unparalleled in durability.
