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

MSI motherboards. I've seen one fail out of 1000+.

2 out of 3 I bought failed. One was due to bad power supply ruined the GPU slot but the other mustve been bad from being used on eBay for a reason. My main MSI board b450 gaming pro carbon max WiFi has been a tank.

Sony MDR-V6. I've had them for 15+ years, only had to change ear pads to velour ones after the first 5 years of use, after that 10+ years, no issues.
