Shoutout to the $40 clippers I bought 8 years ago that still cut clean

Picked up a pair of Wahl Magnums back in 2016 for around 40 bucks at a swap meet. Figured they'd last a year tops. Still using them today, just swap the blades and oil them regular. My new $200 cordless set sits in the drawer half the time. Anybody else got an old tool they can't let go of?

Man I got a Craftsman 3/8 ratchet from 1997 that I swear will outlive me. Found it in my dad's old toolbox after he passed, still clicks smooth as butter. I bring it to work sometimes and the guys laugh at me for using a 25 year old tool over their new snap-ons but honestly it's never let me down. I've changed the gears once and that was my fault for using it as a hammer. These old tools were made different man, they don't make them like that anymore. I think about that ratchet every time I buy something new that breaks in a year.

Hey @ben_shah93 that ratchet story really hits home, I feel the same way about my old clippers.
