Hawt What your favorite "BIFL" item

[Domon]

BIFL = buy it for life. Something you've had for years and years and its just awesome.

I have beat the absolute shit out of my knipex pliers, and they work better than any other set of pliers ive ever had.

So much saw dust...

Most of my horse tack is BIFL. I also spent a small fortune on two Sears (might be craftsman) 100' outdoor hoses that have a lifetime guaranty. 12yrs of abuse & still function flawlessly. Hell, I've now spent more on replacing hose carriers than the hoses.

thats a nice looking saw. Nice heavy tabletop, but still moveable. Looks like a halfway between contractor saw vs cabinet saw.

I tend to buy all my tools with that in mind (either that or the "buy once, cry once" mantra).

My favorite tool is my craftsman engineer hammer, which is a 3 pound sledge head on a 15" fiberglass handle.

So, I guess that my favorite BIFL item is my engineer hammer, because something gets the ever-loving shit engineered out of it every time I use it.

In my world that would be the Fender Precision bass and the Gallien-Krueger 800RB amplifier.

Yup, plus I have the extended rails on mine, so I get like 3ft cutting width or something.

A cat is not made to last for a human lifespan. My first (and best) cat died in my arms before he was 10

My Leatherman multi-tool.
And my Victorinox Swiss army knife.

1/4 of human lifespan aint bad man. ive had multiple 20 year cats.

In tools, I do have a pair of real Channel-Lock brand channel-locks, Milwaukee brand Sawz-all, Skilsaw brand skilsaw, and Klein brand Klein's, that are all decades old and still reliable. I'd consider those BIFL's, or as close as you're gonna get. Their durability is quite noticeably superior to run-of-the-mill brands of the same stuff.

There's a reason their names became nouns.

Mine is my ka-bar. It wasn't purchased but earned. Still a for life item.

Is that to keep track of all the woman the cops say you're not allowed within a 1000ft of?
