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?

    Bought my ridge wallet in 2015 and use it every day. Replaced parts on that sucker a few times bcz the straps wear out and screws come lose and fall out. Only nearly lost it once.

    Second iitems are a safety razor handle and brush I got in 2008.

      I bought my regular wallet in 2006 and I use it every day. No parts to replace, and it cost $12 not $150.

        The Ridge is hella overpriced, but there are clones which cost $20-$30 and do pretty much the same.

        Couldn’t go back to a regular-sized wallet now.

          I hate wallets without coin pockets. My current one has the one that kind of ‘clamps’ and doesn’t have a button. It’s nice and thin but still way bigger than the Ridge. If one day I don’t carry coins any more I will switch

            Mine has this coin basket thing. Card sizes, a bit thicker though of course. Works for like 6-7 coins, more than good enough for me
