Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

Daily basis is what makes this so hard for me. I think you just made me realize I need to change my toothbrush soon.

There's literally nothing else I use every day without fail. Closest would probably be my around-the-house belt, but I don't always put it on. My phone is fairly new still...

Probably my Leatherman Skeletool or Wenger Toolbox: I don't remember when I got them but I've had them both for years and they never leave my side (unless I have to fly on a damn airplane or something...)

Some of my kitchen stuff, hand tools and a few ornaments come from my grandparents place. Ive been handling/seeing them my whole life. Add x years to that before me.

Probably my Whip it! Butane torch

Not as long as you, but I've had my wireless earbuds for around four years now and they still get daily use. I can use them both to listen to music while I play my drums and to watch videos or listen to music while my husband is watching tv or whatever, they're fantastic.
