Survived years of abuse and still going strong
581282
Purchased these 5 years ago and they have been through a lot since. I've sent them through the washer and dryer at least once, tangled and yanked on the cables a bunch, and even ripped one of the silicone tips. I use them when I'm working out, studying, and in a pinch I've even used them as in-ear monitors for live shows. Even through all the wear and tear, they still perform fabulously and rival my ATH-m50's. They definitely have a bass end, with crisp and clear mids and highs. I would highly recommend these to anyone.

I purchased this backpack in 2011 before I started university to carry around my laptop. It has survived two years of regular use back and forth to school as a commuter and 1 year having traveled and lived abroad. It has not torn, ripped, or suffered any damage that I can see even after years of abuse. It is the best back pack I have owned, hands down. It also has very good protection for laptops, the "traveler" feature isn't very useful since most airports are going to make you take out the laptop anyway, but the section that unzips completely works well as another pocket. The laptop I carried using this backpack is still going strong and never suffered damage while in this backpack, so in my opinion it protected my stuff very well. I believe this backpack will server me for many years to come and will serve you well too.

Worth every penny!  Durable and still pretty after quite a long time.

Solid structure, has held up well for years.

This case has mostly held up for the almost 4 years that I have had it.  You do need to occasionally clean it not only on the outside but on the inside surfaces as well.  The little "nubs" on the bottom plate that keeps it attached to the base of my laptop have broken off after 2.5 years, but the bottom plate does still stay on the laptop.  Considering how much use it has had during 3 years of grad school, this case has held up really well and seems to be worth the cost

I've had this for years and have accidentally washed it several times, dropped it often, and otherwise tortured the drive. It still works well after all that abuse.  Next time I need a new drive, the latest model will be on the top of my list.

I bought these headphones about 5 or 6 years ago and they're still going strong.

The two best things about them:
-Great sound quality (especially bass): only the most picky audiophile could complain.
-Durability: they've been on many vacations and car/bus/train rides, and have endured every possible form of abuse. The cords have been bent and yanked many, many times and have yet to short out on me. The folding joints (both ball and hinge) are still in great shape, and the adjustable band still stays firmly in place. The only sign of wear is that the ear padding has worn a little thin.

These headphones are definitely worth what you pay for them, and then some. They can handle a lot of abuse, so unless you severely mistreat them you're set for many years to come.

We purchased this for Christmas in 2011 for our three boys. It has withstood . . . abuse of many sorts. We still have no rips, cracks, or breaks despite it taking many trip down our steep driveway. Heaven help my children's future children.

These are very well made and have remained looking new for several years, despite all the abuse they have endured.
I would definitely buy them again.

My kids love this bll pit. I bought it for Christmas in 2010 and it's still holding up great. My kids are very rough when they play in it, and we did buy extra balls (probably have about 1000 balls now). I did buy a small tunnel to attach to it to help keep the balls inside when the kids get in and out of it, but other than that, we haven't done anything special. We pull it out frequently and it always makes the kids happy. We haven't had any rips or damage to it in the almost four years that have owned it.

I bought this bag in 2014 and I'm finally writing my review. The reason I waited so long was to see how this bag would hold up. After buying several disappointing other brown leather backpacks over the years, only this one has survived pretty much perfectly! Zippers are still operational, leather is still intact and the straps have not ripped off. This bag has traveled the country and after carrying my personal belongings as well as diapers and wipes (mother of 2), along with the continuous rough treatment of being thrown around, dropped, pulled on by my daughter, this bag has lasted. I would absolutely strongly recommend this bag for anyone looking for something that will take a beating. See pics.

We bought this set back in February of 2010 and I am still happy with it. We use them daily and have really put them through hell, but they still look pretty darn good and still work great. They cook everything quickly and have great heat control.

I came across a used model of one of these about 7 years ago and it became my everyday work knife. Since then I have put this thing to the test on a daily basis and it was still in great shape despite the abuse its been put through every day for 7 years. It even got run over by a truck in Seattle when I dropped it crossing the street.  The best utility knife ever made as far as I know. Sadly I finally managed to lose it and am now buying a new one. Five stars cuz that's all they'll let me rate it.

I've been using these knives for almost 8 years. They have been holding strong and only with a few stains on some of the knives. I expected less so i am pleasantly surprised they've lasted this long. The block is solid as well. Great buy and durable.

I've had this for about a year now, and there are no problems with it.  It's heavy, but it's strong enough to absorb the abuse I put it through.

I've only had 2 retractables so far, but this one outlasted the other by a LARGE margin. I got this flexi when Jake was a pup, and 7 years later, it's been chewed on, spit on, dropped, dragged on concrete, dragged through mud, dirt, sand, water, snow, etc. It's even been caught in my hair every now and then. I got a different retractable last year, and it promptly broke on the same day I got it. Even before it broke, it was having problems retracting the leash-string (so I'm standing next to a busy street, 20' of leash laying in the grass, Jake standing next to me, and I'm trying desperately to get the darn thing to work before the next car goes roaring by). That leash was thrown out, and the old black flexi was given kisses and apologies for being undervalued.

The only problem it has right now is that the button needs a little more force from the thumb every now and then, and that's only because Jake chewed it out of shape a long time ago. Most of the time it works great, needs no pressure at all, but once in a while it will stick and you'll need to repeatedly press it in to "work out the kinks" and I've only had to do it less than once a year. But other than that, I never have to worry about holding a broken flexi while Jake is running like the wind after a truck. It's actually kept me out of such pickles and it's suffered a lot of abuse. More than once, it's had to withstand the pressure of a 50-60 pound dog lunging at top speed, full strength, at the end of the leash (or whenever I've pressed the button). Sometimes I see the crack on the plastic body widening a little bit under the strain, but I'm still very comfortable knowing it won't break. It's one hardy thing. Too bad retractables just don't get made the same way anymore.
