What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)

POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 244 points –

This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

297

Ah right, the post confused me a bit.

I recently bought a zojirushi rice cooker because of their reputation for making perfect rice and lasting decades. So it's the AK of rice cookers. Or more like the AR because it was $200.
