Some that come to mind are:

Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

    This is no exception. Thinkpad used to be great years (decade?) ago. The stuff they have produced in recent years is crap. I had two work laptops in the last 4 years and both are absolutely terrible compared to the old stuff.

      Yeah when I took my issue to Lenovo customer service, their first response was that my laptop has reached the end of its usable lifespan. 5 years!? I’m not wealthy and that thing cost me $1,500 and I will never be able to afford another laptop again.

        consumer electronics are engineered for 3 years of use.

        I bought a Lenovo 82k100lqus and I baby it. I try not to even open it or plug or unplug anything. external peripherals with a powered USB hub let me get away with this most of the time.

        and I still think it’s going to break exactly 3 years into it’s life. I can hope not, tho.
