What's the most expensive item you've bought with the intention of keeping it for life?
My Veritas plane (for planing wood, not flying). That thing is a piece of art and it will hopefully be used for generations.

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Vitamix. Robocoupe. Bosch (kitchen appliances). Lee Valley/Veritas. Lie Nielson. Herder chef knives. Mac knives. G and L guitars. Taylor guitars (I'm not a fan of their style/tone, but their QC is best in the acoustic factory guitar scene. PRS guitars (some of the best factory electric guitar QC). Toyota/Lexus. They just work. I have a Honda, which is pretty reliable...but they chitzied on plastic floorpan clips instead of metal. Bottom of my car started going "whoosh" after 54000 miles. Never had an issue on my 1997 Corolla. Spyderco. Victorinox. Leatherman. solid warranty, and decent QC, even with all the Chinese clones. Mitotuyo micrometers. Built different. Tom Bihn bags. Waterfield designs. IMHO significantly better and tougher than Chrome (wore a hole through a corner in 1 month) and Timbuck2. Excellent ergos. Excellent workmanship and materials. Patagonia.

Buyitforlife from Canada, what’s your favourite things made in Canada?
As an American who enjoys Veritas and Jessem tools, I'm extra pissed off about this tariff bs by Cheeto Benito. Lumber prices, too. Just stupid, senseless decisions that are gonna screw everyone.

Has everything we buy reduced in quality over time? Has anything increased in quality or stayed high quality and durable?
you can still get excellent quality woodworking tools - Lie Nielsen, Pfeil, Veritas, Narex, Kirschen/Two Cherries, DMT DiaSharp. Even some of the Wood River stuff is pretty good. Sawstop stuff is also amazing, and most modern power tools are surprisingly excellent, even the battery powered stuff.
