Which brands/products have gotten better over time?
Harbor Freight is legit now! Remember when they were basically the dollar store of tools? Now their Icon line actually competes with the big boys.

Companies with good warrenties that they actually honor?
I’ve had great warranty experiences with Hunter Douglas, Kohler/Kallista, Schlage, All-Clad, Wusthof, Harbor Freight Icon tools, and Concept 2.

Has everything we buy reduced in quality over time? Has anything increased in quality or stayed high quality and durable?
I haven’t seen tools mentioned. I get 98% of my tools from Harbor Freight, I can afford the Icon line of stuff and it’s really good quality and it’s relatively well priced. The power tool technology is vastly improved and it’s cheaper. I got a dewalt 14.4v drill probably 20 years ago and it was like $120 buck for a drill and battery, maybe a charger. I can get a 20v system for under $100 bucks now and it’s much better quality. I’ll spend 40-50 or more on a good ratchet because I know it’s likely to outlast me, has a lifetime warranty, so the manufacturer has an incentive to make it last, and it’s nice to use. Craftsman used to be good when it was made in USA, now they are slightly worse than a ton of other brands that are sold everywhere. Icon, Milwaukee, Kobalt, Quinn, Duralast, Gearwrench, and Tekton all make super good tools and I’d buy any of them and not be concerned with them not lasting many years.
