1.
3M Post-It Notes. Making an adhesive strong enough to stop the notes curling up at the edge and falling off, but weak enough that you can remove and replace them at will, seems to be outside the skill set of every other company. -u/emefluence -
2.
Zojirushi rice cooker -u/ScrubbleDubble -
3.
Any paints. House paint, car, boat, trains and planes. Usually the higher the cost, the better the paint. Love Sherwin Williams “Emerald” products as house paint. -u/TooRational101 -
4.
Ticonderoga pencils. I’ll write a whole 10 page essay by hand with one of those babies. -u/EatAssForTheHallPass -
5.
Crayola. Rose Art crayons have haunted me since I was a child! Till the day I pass. -u/TheJechtShot -
6.
As a lefty, Zebra F-402 pens. Fine point, no smear, no pressing hard to get a clean line. Since I discovered them I can’t go back to other ball point pens. -u/jalopycat -
7.
Herman-miller. My chair from them saved my back over quarantine. -u/cash_masheen -
8.
Faber Castell colored pencils are some of the best out there. -u/scottbob3 -
9.
Stanley stainless steel vacuum/thermos bottles. I have one that holds a 12-cup pot of coffee that I bought at a neighbor’s estate sale 30 years ago and it was probably 20 years old then. It still works exactly as promised. -u/sopsychcase -
10.
Miele is usually the best in class for anything they make, usually at least twice as expensive though. Worth it if you can afford it! -u/Lthomasa1993 -
11.
KitchenAid stand mixer. I’ve had mine for over 10 years now, use it at least once a week and takes a beating during Christmas time and it still works like a charm. -u/ochlee -
12.
Fiskars stuff: axes, shovels, hammers, but also scissors. -u/sebaska -
13.
Dawn dishwashing liquid. I haven't found anything else that works as well. -u/retailguy_again -
14.
Corelle ware. That sh*t is damn near indestructible and bonus it’s been around for forever so you often find it super cheap at thrift shops. -u/yaoiphobic -
15.
I always pay the little extra for a Bic lighter over the cheap transparent ones. They rarely break and they're more ergonomic. -u/readaugkx -
16.
Shimano Ultegra bicycle components. Works smoothly. Reliable. Can't complain. -u/Hermiones_Butthole -
17.
Darn Tough Vermont Wool socks. Every day, trust me. -u/Atro_Demerzel -
18.
Q-tips. I don't know what all the other brands and generics are doing, but I swear their cotton to stick ratio is always off. Too pokey or too soft. Can't be just me... -u/derekwilliamson -
19.
I got a Bosch set for my washer/dryer and so far they’ve outlasted 3 sets of my father-in-law’s LGs, Samsungs, and another one I don’t remember. People complain appliances don’t last as long as they used to, and while I don’t disagree, it’s often because they buy the cheap models. -u/eclips1st -
20.
In all honesty, tupperware. My mom has some tupperware containers that are almost as old as me and they are still in good condition. It's rare that I can find plastic containers that are even close in quality and durability. -u/Slish753 -
21.
Pilot G2 Pens. -u/uninc4life2010 -
22.
I'm a chef. Kitchen knives, you never cheap out on. I suggest Wusthof. Or Shun. Buy a good knife once and you'll be giving it to your kids one day. -u/iamaneviltaco -
23.
Kerrygold salted butter. -u/chimpdoctor -
24.
Pyrex glass cookware and food storage containers. I've had cheaper things crack on me, lids break. But Pyrex lasts forever. -u/chefjenga -
25.
Redwing work boots. I only buy their upper-level boots and have never regretted the purchase. I started with other brands and once I hit Redwings I was done. -u/Caspers_Shadow
