Been using my grandfather’s 1/2 inch drive wrench as long as I can remember, just found the patent that was pending on it was registered in 1941

Pretty sure you could nuke TNF Basecamp duffel bags and they'd still be in one piece (this one is at least 2 decades old)

I’m 32 and my father has been brushing his Italian mane with this bad boy since as long as I can remember

My Swift Whip egg beater from the 1930’s. It’s an absolute dream!
