Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

I've been using the same pocket knife for about 15 years. Part of my EDC.

a stainless steel, vacuum sealed French press (coffee plunger), which I bought back in... 2011? i think? when I broke my glass one a week after getting it.

I got my Frieling stainless press in 2013 and it still rocks. I've replaced the screen twice now. However I don't use it daily since I moved in 2020, I use it on weekends mostly now.

My Secrid wallet. Bought it around 2016, use it every day and it's still in very good condition. I was very happy with it when i bought it and still am. It was a bit on the expensive side but i like to pay for quality.

The bureau I've been using since early childhood belonged to my grandfather.

Similar for me. I still use a chest of dresser drawers my grandmother gave my parents, and they used it for me from day one to store baby stuff. I’d eventually use it for clothes and still do.

Some of my kitchen stuff, hand tools and a few ornaments come from my grandparents place. Ive been handling/seeing them my whole life. Add x years to that before me.
