A big cast iron pan and two smaller carbon steel pans. I think I'll be able to pass them on to my grandkids.

Leatherman wave 10+ years EDC repaired once. Replaced a 20 year old Leatherman classic which I now keep in work apron. Wave has a blade lock and is superior.

An American made walker mower. I don’t expect me or my son will ever need to buy another mower again.

Stanley hammer 30ish years ago - still going strong. (Actually I have numerous tools I’ve had for 30+ years)

Probably not for life but damn long for a tv - a Sony xbr lcd flatscreen 1080p 46” that’s 15+ years old and still going strong with daily use.

A pair of bogs boots, they seem indestructible.

A McDermott pool cue - about 35 years old

Cast iron pans

Orvis fly rod

I have a Columbia winter coat that’s 15 years old and used all the time. I actually hate how long it’s lasted, I want a new one but can’t justify it.

My house - it’s a good house that will certainly outlast me.

I think everything else will fail before I kick the bucket. There’s a few things that’ll last for a while - but not for life.

Leather wallet with limited space. Forces me to not carry too much. Also a quality built wallet that had lasted very well for the last 5 years... Admittedly I have been bad at maintaining the leather though.

Don’t get me started on my guitars

Everything I own, except the burial plot. I bought that for death.

Dualit classic toaster. Was replacing Breville and other brand toasters every 18 months or so.

Dualit cost more than twice my previous fancy units. So far, it has lasted 5 years, of nearly twice daily use. All parts repairable or replaceable, but haven't needed to yet.

Bought a belt and wallet from hanksbelts.com and they have aged very well! They come with a 100 year warranty so I'm sure if anything does happen I'll be covered, though I doubt they ever get destroyed in my lifetime.

Chromecast 1. Still going strong after over a decade.

Japanese made Makita half inch router my dad bought in 1976

Zojirushi steel drinking bottles. Holding up very well. Being able to completely disassemble and clean the components of the lid seals saves me from my worst habits.

Plex Lifetime Pass back in 2015. Worth every penny.

Before the haters start, Jellyfin wasn't around back then and yes, I've tried Jellyfin but it's not as featured rich as Plex for what I use it for. So, no, I'm not switching.

Lodge cast iron pans Wolverine boots Steelcase office chair (caveat, had go buy new arm pads after 8 years) Boos block cutting board has been holding up damn near daily chopping

Not something I bought a long time ago but I want to share the idea, I have now got myself One Single Ballpen. I was moving and saw that I'd got way too many ballpens that were not even used and that I would not use at all that were just offered or I don't even know how I got them. So I bought myself a metal ballpen with some recharges, and well in one year i've not even finished the first recharge, and i've basically only written with this pen and signed with this pen

A $30 Under Armour water bottle, I bought the thing back in 2014 and I'm still using it even now. The push button latch for the lid doesn't really work anymore, but it still has a lid lock so not really an issue. The thing has stood up to almost a decade of abuse and still works great.

A Baratza Virtuoso coffee grinder.

It's solidly built, works great, all parts are replaceable and if you need parts or advice all you need to do is mail Baratza.

I've owned it for 15 years now and it still works just as well as the day I bought it.

Edit: I also bought an expensive 1zpresso hand mill (a K ultra?) from someone who had buyer's remorse. Sometimes I don't want to make tons of noise grinding coffee in the middle of the night and it's nice to have a quiet way to grind for a cup. It's built as solidly as the electric grinder so I'm pretty sure I'll have it for life as well. Both were great BIFL purchases.

Stax SR-007A headphones (Sorry Stax mafia, I meant Ear Speakers 😰).

I used to buy headphones and IEMs like crazy and I was never satisfied. There was always something nagging me, I could never find a pair of headphones that sounded "perfect" with all types of music so I'd have a selection of headphones that I'd use for specific genres. Now I only have this one pair and a second pair I kept for guests to use on my guest gaming rig.

Thankfully good audio gear doesn't really lose much value so I didn't end up losing all that much money over the years of buying headphones but it's nice to not have to think about it anymore and just enjoy the music. Headphone addicts will understand lol.

Bought my 1st watch in '85, simple analog/digital display commodore and it still works.

Red Wings work boots. The quality has admittedly gone down a lot in the past decade but it's still leaps and bounds better than any other off-the-shelf work boot. Saving up for a pair made by a PNW bootmaker, but my 4 year old 877s keep going

My Stanley thermos is as good as the day I bought it
