I wish they still made them like this. 20+years of heavy duty abuse and still going strong. Arc'teryx Bora 30 backpack.
My 3100p (80’s) and Grandma’s 3100/2L (70’s/og) crockpots. Both fully functioning.
This is what BIFL is really about. Not only does Lee Valley still sell the consumable blade for their old marking gauges (discontinued nearly 20 years ago), it's actually a dollar cheaper than the blade for the new model.

My grandpa's old watches. He got the left one for his 25th birthday in 1939 and the right one for his 50th birthday in 1964. Still running strong and frequently used by me.

Not only has my 1985 Sharp VZ2000 survived the death of albums and cassettes, it now bears witness to their revival again nearly 40 years later. Yes, that’s an album, not a 45. These boomboxes are still highly collectible and there is a whole new aftermarket of repair parts to ensure their survival.Submitted by sparksofthetempest t3_11h5xcg

My collection of thrifted/secondhand BIFL shoes. Cole Haan, J&M, Allen Edmonds, Frye, R.M. Williams. My goal is to give them a second life as long as their first.

My 2001 Honda Rancher ATV that I've had since new. It's not big or fancy, but it just works. I've never needed to do anything but basic maintenance on it, and it starts and runs better than all of my friends ATVs.
Discovery Trekking hiking/travel towel. Can go from immersed in water to dry in a matter of minutes. Rolls up smaller than a thin t-shirt. Been using my full grown man strength to wring this thing out for over 10 years now and it could still pass as new.
