Reply to Sunbeam Mixmaster served my parents dutifully for 51 years but tonight it succumbed to mashed potatoes. by mwknight

My father has an older Hobart mixer. It was used when my mom moved here in 1964, so it's at least that old.

My mom used it daily until my sister dropped a pipe into the mixer, it jammed, and melted the motor.

I was maybe 12. Learned to rewind the motor. Still runs today as a daily beater about 30 years later.

Do your mixer a favour: next down time, take it apart and fix it for real. Quality tools are meant to be maintained.

Reply to Looking for Cool Parka for Guy by Twewy1997

As someone else said... Patagonia.

I've got a 3-1 that after ten years, the inner puff was a little flat. Took it in to get it refluffed... Instead they gave me a free exchange with a brand new jacket...

Lifetime warranty that they stand by, and a focus on sustainable practice? They get my money every time.

Reply to Wanting to upgrade hair clippers for self cut by StarrkC

I really strongly feel that the Oster classic 76 is the ultimate BIFL. Instead of blade guards, you have different blades for each length. The blades can be sharpened. Every single part of the thing is designed to be replaced. The design is unchanged over more than 50 years. Buy one today, will it to your grandson one day.
