#19 never replace those they might need a new belt every couple of decades but they will last almost forever.
they just don't make things like they used to. because of stupid planned obsolescence.

Modern manufacturers could take some lessons here.

#14... You should have left it just as it was. It was beautiful

#3 I used these in the army (back when they still had C-Rations) and still have some that I keep for emergencies. The only thing that beats this is the Australian version that works the same but is longer and includes a small spoon at the end.

#19 I have a 50+ year old A606 in the same Harvest Green color that still does at least 2 loads a week, cost me $50 about 20 years ago, and has had only rubber parts replaced. I might, someday, take it apart and rebuild it, but it's not going anywhere. And, after lasting this long, it really gives new meaning to the Lonely Maytag Repairman adds from the 70s & 80s..

#20 Herman Miller make great chairs if you have a bad back. Get them setup properly and they can really help.

#15 Nope that model is 20 years old. Kirby's do however last forever. We have a Kirby Legend II (1989 model) and it still works perfectly

#5 Still have and use my original Leatherman Supertool, bought in 1997.

#24 I have a similar set from Revere inherited from my Grandmother. Recieved an expensive modern set as a gift. I still use the Revere's more often.
