Cutlery from William Sonoma. Partner said she loved my kitchen for cooking because I had the best stuff. Now it’s our stuff.
My pliers. They’re passed down from my great-grandfather. He bought them used.
Let me guess; Knipex?
No, they’re Soviet pliers he bought in the 40’s. They look similar to these:
Noted.
In Soviet Russia, pliers cut you!
I got a boker plus antigrav (zirconium knife, great box openers) for Christmas and I could never get one on my own dime. I plan on keeping it forever and never using disposable box openers ever again.
So long as I can replace parts like battery and storage, my Steam Deck. That, and pretty much all the consoles I currently have.
Second this. I will likely upgrade to a steam deck 2 in the future just based on how good the OLED is, but honestly if it never comes I’m fine for years and years with kt
My Brilliant Cut grinder
My Benchmade pocket knife. Because even if I do damage it they will fix it lol.
I’m not huge on brand loyalty but they have always taken care of me and my buddies whenever anything goes wrong with one of their knives. I will always recommend them for anyone willing to spend a bit more on a very solid knife with a great warranty.
Edit. Spelling
Benchmade switchblade was my first thought too. I’m so happy switchblades are being made legal again.
My guitar.
I’m old enough to realize most everything will either need to be replaced or given up as lifestyles change, but young enough not to count random stuff I happen to have.
Some really precious things I’ll keep forever, but don’t really use.
Just looking around the house and thinking, will I have any of this in my last years is sobering.
That said there are a few knickknacks I’m likely to keep since they are small and easy to keep up with. Maybe my collection of old Christmas albums. A few ornaments. A few Keychain. Deploymas…
My house.
Yeah, I’m never going through that process ever again haha
The cast iron has made it 30 years with me and I expect it to live past my lifetime and my kids’ lifetimes and if they have any kids who want them, outlive them as well.
I have some furniture (cabinets) from my grandma that my kids want when I die too, in particular the gun cabinet my dad converted to a shelved cabinet.
I never want to move again, so the house I hope but it requires so much maintenance I don’t know if it counts.
If I can possibly keep my 2014 Honda going I will. Would prefer to keep it until I stop driving (love it so much) but like the house, at some point I’m not sure it’s the same car.
Inbefore:
Toaster
Pretty much all of my music stuff (instruments, amps, pedals). I could maybe see myself selling some, or trading or whatever. But at least the physical instruments should last a long forever…unless some catastrophic event damages them.
Electric shaver (oscillating)
Bone-conducting headphones
Multi-tool (all stainless construction)
What has made bone conducting so good for you? I got a pair from my partner but we aren’t super impressed vs earbuds, except they suit fitness better
I like them, because most of my use cases are to still be able to hear if other people close-by call out.
Being able to use them wet is a bonus.
The 8hr playback is good for me.
They are quite hardy
The lower sound quality and lower volume is not a problem for me, because it is at a passable level.
If I want crisp sound, it’s on monitors or decent enclosed headphones.
Does the shaver and headphones have replaceable batteries?
Thanks for asking.
I just looked it up and the shaver has an ifixit video on how to replace the battery. Looks like a 10-15 minute changeover.
No video or instructions for the headphones, but a replacement battery part is available.
Sadly nothing yet, maybe just a couple of T-shirts… Mainly because I had to move/relocate every 1-2 years for my entire adult life until now & had to sell/give/throw away anything I couldn’t bring with me every time I move
Honestly? The only thing is my Swiss army knife. I might need to restore some tools and not sure if they’d honour warranty on them, but it’s the only durable thing I have faith in.
Also my wife’s pussy! (I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself)
