So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Picquic screw drivers.

Ploopy classic trackball mouse which is open source and can be easily repaired.

looks interesting, thank you for this, I'd like to see a mini or micro version if they exist...

They make stubbies. These are prettyuch ubiquitous here in Canada where they're made. I've never had an issue with one except for losing bits which is on me.

I'm sorry, I was looking for a very small mouse for a computer. This is a small screwdriver. Did I miss something? Just the same company that makes them?

This is their mini trackball.
