This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

That metal toaster we got for a wedding present. It was apparently someone's parents wedding present from the 60's. We had it for several years until a friend jammed a bagel in it and melted the cord. I replaced the cord and we used it for another several years before losing it in a move.

I like to believe someone found it and it is still toasting to this day.

Was it one of those automatic toasters? Technology connections made a video on it.
