My accoustic guitar, I desperately hope, I love it way too much to ever be without it.

My umbrella. It's been absolutely worth it to invest in a solid umbrella.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Come to Wales, it won't last 6 months. Whenever I see someone with an umbrella I can't help think they're new here

I'm going to assume I'll live another 45 years here.

My first electric Guitar should probably last and holds some sentimental value. My other guitars I can imagine selling at some point even though right now I like them.

Maybe some tools will last that are little more than solid pieces of metal. But how much use I'll have for them when I'm in my 80s i don't know, so maybe they move on before I do.

Kitchen table and coffee table are very solid and may out live my kids. But maybe we'll decide to swap to something else with a different style after 30 years, who knows.

That's all I can think of that has any chance of me keeping that long without breaking through standard use.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

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.

My Brilliant Cut grinder

My headphones: AKG Q701. I've been using them for well over a decade now and have repaired them a few times. They're easily repairable and nothing compares to the sound quality unless you shell out $500+.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

You can't get Q701s anymore.. and K712 which was supposed to be an upgrade sounds like shit, so I keep repairing mine and postponing switching to the backup pair I managed to snag as new old stock..

My hammer and crescent wrenches seem pretty durable. I guess, this being Japan, the humidity might cause them issues at some point. My kitchen knives and cast iron dutch oven will probably also make it that long. Whatever accumulated heavy metals are in my body along with a rod and several screws holding some of said body together.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A morakniv knife, a ka-bar knife and an Opinel knife.

A Citizen watch A Kenneth Cole mechanical watch

A lighter

Now I understand why we men love all these things. They last forever and for some reason this really appeals to men.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Opinel knives are the shit! I use them exclusively for fletching.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My Seiko 5 mechanical wristwatch, my kitchen knife, my cast iron skillet, and the parts I always migrate over, each time I replace my main bicycle (Deore XTR pedals, Brooks saddle, Tubus rack, SKS fenders, Busch&Müller lights)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I own a 10 y-o kinetic, I hope I can keep using it till I pass...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

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

My Black & Decker Matrix drill. I have 2 other attachments for it and I could see myself getting as many as 8 of them. I'm sure they're sub-par compared to their standalone counterparts but I'm not a hobbyist so I'd much rather have versatility and not have to make room for a chest full of tools.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Nothing... I like replacing things and I'm not attached to things at all.

If anything, I like the feeling of buying new things to replace old ones, just for some minor feeling of change.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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)

I have a decent camera setup, a Lumix S5 with the following lenses

Lumix 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6

Lumix 24-105mm f/4 Macro OISL

Lumix 50mm f/1.8

Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary

As it stands now, I have no plans to move from L-Mount, and if these lenses keep working, I will keep using them.
