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.

I believe my 1998 Kelty backpack, Leatherman PST II, 1990 Volvo 240 Wagon and Mohawk Royalex canoe will outlast us all.

I have been looking at a Leatherman for a while now. Are they still worth the money?

I use my original almost every day (actually, not quite the original; I lost my first one after 15 years in a 2013 car accident, and replaced it with the same 1998 model from an eBay sale. My wife has a newer Wave model and loves it. To be honest, though, I haven’t kept up with the latest versions, but I’ve never met anyone who regretted buying one.

You just pushed me over the fence and made me order the Charge+ TTi. Thanks?

Nice. Unless something’s changed recently, you shouldn’t be disappointed. Enjoy!
