Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

I've had the Leatherman Skeletool in my pocket for 10 years. That's probably the longest. It goes with me pretty much everywhere.

    Do you do much to maintain it? I always find that the Micra will loosen after a year or so and end up replacing it rather than hammering the rivet of the scissors to tighten it (especially since the blades get damaged and worn too).

    All I've ever had to do is sharpen it. It was pretty tight when I first got it but it loosened up after a couple weeks. The joints on the Skeletool are also star bits rather than rivets so I could adjust it if need be.
