What is B-Stock?

What is B-Stock?

At FocusWorks EDC, we make high-quality everyday carry (EDC) gear. We
want every product to work perfectly and look great. But sometimes,
small mistakes happen. That’s where B-stock comes in. By choosing
B-stock, you’re not just getting a great deal—you’re also making a more
sustainable choice that helps reduce waste.

What is B-Stock?

B-stock items have small cosmetic flaws but still work just as well as
regular products. They might have tiny marks, scratches, or other minor
issues that don’t affect how they function. Instead of discarding these
items, we offer them at a discount to give them a second life, reducing
waste and making better use of resources.

Why Does a Product Become B-Stock?

We check every item carefully. If a product has small flaws but still
works perfectly, we label it as B-stock. Here are some common reasons a
product might be B-stock:

  • Engraving Mistakes – The logo might be missing, off-center, or not as
    clear as it should be.
  • Scratches and Scuffs – The finish might have small scratches that we
    can’t fix.
  • Dents or Tiny Marks – Sometimes, a product gets a small dent during
    manufacturing.

Why Buy B-Stock? (Sustainable Shopping)

B-stock products are a great deal. They allow you to own high-quality
gear at a lower price while still getting the same durability and
functionality as first-quality items. But beyond saving money, buying
B-stock is also the more sustainable choice.

When B-stock items don’t sell, they often end up being recycled or, even
worse, in a landfill. This wastes valuable materials, energy, and effort
that went into making them. By choosing B-stock, you help reduce
unnecessary waste and make sure these perfectly functional products are
put to good use instead of being thrown away. Every B-stock purchase
supports a more responsible approach to production and helps conserve
resources for the future.

Whether you're looking for a backup item, a budget-friendly option, or
just don’t mind minor cosmetic flaws, B-stock offers great value while
also being an environmentally conscious choice. Buying B-stock extends
the life of a product, prevents waste, and helps us all move toward a
more sustainable future.

Final Thoughts

We always aim for top quality. Even though B-stock items aren’t visually
perfect, they still work just as well and are built to last. By choosing
B-stock, you’re not only getting a functional and durable product, but
you’re also making an eco-friendly decision that helps reduce waste.
