There was a comment made in here the other day about getting what you pay for and getting a lifetime of use from something. We've all heard that line countless times but for some reason I started thinking about items that had served me well over the years and which of those I would buy again. The topic somewhat came back up tonight at class when a few of us were shooting the breeze in the shop while on break and talking about buying good equipment/tools
Maybe its a stupid thread, maybe it'll be interesting to see what people from different professions say, I don't know. But name an item(s) that you have bought (or were given) that if it were lost, stolen, or somehow destroyed, that you would replace it as soon as possible with the EXACT same item without even considering another brand or model.
I thought about guns, knives, and tools. The only two things that came to mind that I would buy again without second thought and absolutely zero consideration of another brand were my Estwing hammer and my Henry .22 rifle. Interestingly enough, my brother-in-law had the exact same answer about the hammer.
What's your item?
