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:
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.
Which Leatherman?
This is absolutely a decision based on aesthetics over functionality, but I just got myself a Signal. (Text references the bureau of sabotage from Frank Herbert's ConSentiency novels)
I'd love a Signal, but it's so god damn expensive where I live. It's literally 1/2 of my monthly rent.
Holy shit it's beautiful.
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)
i use jerboa and thunder. i can't see the cross-post option in either.
are you on a desk/lap-top+browser? Would be nice to learn how to cp
i tried "share post". it seems to work 🤷
I got a Skeletool, but I don't think this specific model is the best.
Pretty basic, but powerful enough. I also have skeletool + bit kit. I'm using it when I do not need bigger tools - as it's easier to reach and do something quick.
I have it in my pocket for like 12 years. And style cs as keyfob - just because it was sold in a bundle with skeletool and price was the same or almost the same (like 2-3$ difference) as price of skeletool only when I was buying it.
Been thinking about buying something else, looking at different options for longer time, still didn't make my choice.
It's the one I wanted to buy, honestly.
