Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

So I bought myself a Victorinox Tinker Deluxe SAK, after my friend told me he's been using his SAK for the last 15 years. I'm into small tinkering work, urban partisan activity and like to be prepared.

I'm not sure if it's gonna be a life-long purchase, but from what I've seen, it's quite durable. Will need maintenance and correct usage, though.

can you post that on https://sopuli.xyz/c/edc ? i don't know how to link to another community on lemmy

op, @chaos_rat, can you too post that sak there?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !edc@sopuli.xyz

Cross-posting is actually pretty easy on Lemmy! (Won't work on specific comments, but it's easy to cross-post the whole thread)
