This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.
Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:
Gerber MP600: It’s a multi tool
Old Thinkpad Laptops
Mag lights
Toyota Hilux
Classic Vitamix blender models. They just work. Long warranty. And even post warranty easily serviceable.
Vitamix smell! Dontbreathis!
That’s Blend-Tec not Vitamix lol
Funny enough this is the first video I ever watched on YouTube, back in 2007, after switching from Google Video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1ckCkm8YI
They keep coming out with fancier models, but the 5200 still reigns supreme. Who needs programs on a blender?
And for a buy-it-for-multiple-lifetimes citrus juicer to get juice for the blender, there’s the Nemco 55850.
