Good “Buy for Life” Brands
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 what everyone told me, so I bought a two pack of Anker branded cables. Both of them broke and wouldn't charge without being held at a weird angle within a month. I bought an Amazon basics cable after that and it has worked for years just fine.
I seem to be in the minority here, but I will never buy Anker again after this awful experience.
Anker has been hit-or-miss for me. It either craps out early, or lasts much longer than it has any right to. They're still my go-to for cables, because I usually lose or give many of them away before they have a chance to show their worth
The main thing that kills cables is sitting a phone in portrait on one's chest and having it plugged in for charging. That creates a nice 90-degree or nearly 90-degree bend that just destroys the cable over time.
I'm in the same boat. I've bought their cables at least 3 times at 3 different points in my life. All of their cables have failed within about a year. That being said I use them extremely heavily because I'm an Android app developer. I have many test devices and I'm constantly plugging in new devices and sometimes have up to 3 devices connected at the same time. I'm also not just charging the devices as I'm transferring data between the computer and device.
