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

Even though they’re made by a different company now they’re still pretty good ;)

Any specific brand recommendations? Asking for a friend of course.

I was mistaken. Vibratex, which made the original Hitachi Magic Wand, is still making them today. They just dropped the “Hitachi” from the name.
