Let's see . . . . I could name a few things I've used for a long time that have never broken on me.

Benchmade knives
Several vises
A Ford F250 with 215K miles
Many of my American made S X S shotguns
Many of my American made rifles
My Apple desktop MAC
A Chef's Choice knife sharpener, along with a pantry full of my wife's appliances

I could continue with more but, the point to be made is that all the above were USED AS THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE WHEN THEY WERE BUILT.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
