What equipment has lasted the longest?

[Mikegh]

Hilti TE5 110V SDS

Has outlasted everything, must be 20 years old
and loads of use

The trafo must be 40 yrs but they don't give much trouble

My clow ladders are heading in that direction too, seem to be built to last forever

Cheap 1/2” drive metric and imp socket set bought from local Sunday market 1990…. So 31 years…. Not lost any bits, but the plastic inlay tray is disintegrating.

Bending machine been around forever longer than the trafo

They don't give any trouble either
