Taking a "rest day" for the hardworking White man was to maintain your tools. It was your half-day of normal work so you could leave early to do other things. Wiping off grime, sharpening, special oiling. It was a sense of satisfaction of giving some love back to the tools you would work with all year.

When I worked on the DOT survey crew, Friday afternoon was reserved for cleaning and oiling equipment, sharpening brush axes, making sure moving parts did so freely and clasps, latches and locks functioned as intended. That's also when someone got to sharpen the chainsaw chain. All that equipment didn't maintain itself, and it all spent hard time outside and needed the attention.

how about that lightbulb that still workss after 100 years but nowadays they need to be replaced every X years.

Lightbulb manufacturers are literally a cartel. They got together decades ago and all agreed to artificially limit the lifespan of their bulbs.

That one lightbulb is a heavy carbon filament that's rated a few candlepower for a lot of watts.

Related and recent tale. I bought a pair of Zwilling/Henckels poultry shears at an estate sale maybe 15 years ago. Great steel and they still function well, but the stainless steel tubular spring that returns them to the open position broke last week. I messaged Zwilling's customer support, sent a picture and the model number and enquired about getting a replacement spring. Well the model isn't made any more, they can't (won't?) furnish some specs so I can attempt to locate one on the secondary market, but they WILL send me a version of their current poultry shears gratis. Bonus: Because I sent a pic documenting the "damage", I don't have to return the "broken" shears.

Don't get me wrong - that's pretty excellent customer service. But it's ludicrous that they can't furnish parts that are essentially consumable. They don't stock replacement springs for the new model either (I asked), so I guess I just get another new pair when their spring breaks too. Going to look on Amazon and Ali Express to find a spring that will work and repair the old ones. Probably give the new ones to my son.

So if you're in the market for poultry shears, you could do much worse than to purchase from Zwilling.

I've had 2 sets of the better version. Can't remember if zwilling or heckler but I have had to make 3 warranty claims and never had to send in a product. I did send in some scissors last year. Same thing happened where they did not replace with the same quality shears which is understandable since the scissors are first items to break in those sets. So I did receive much cheaper scissors. It wasn't even on pat with the cheapest pair that comes in a full set. I complained 2 separate times to no response but 2 months later I received 5 more sets of different kitchen scissors from them. Still not top of their line, but 6 total is much better for me.

Yeah it leaves something to be desired, but they're still better than most companies - for now anyway. But how hard is it today to stock replacement parts - particularly ones that wear out/break?

I’ve been tired of it for a long time

It's time we plan the obsolescence of both the niggers and the jews. They are already obsolete, but they haven't been taken out of the toolbox yet. Spring cleaning is upon us. Clean house.

2 years ago bought a new trailer home to use as camp site on some property since taxes on them actually depreciate every year. I understand the appliances inside were not of highest quality, but within 2 years, have had to replace fridge, hot water heater, washer, dishwasher and last week the AC went out. FML. Would have been better to build the cabin and stock with top of the line appliances but of course I thought I could save some money

I'm sick and tired of the excuse they keep using, that, boohoohoo they won't make any money if the stupid goyim won't buy new shit every year. But somehow they never consider that by making a quality item they will multiply their userbase by a margin because people will constantly recommend it to each other? Maybe someone wants two or more? The cheap disposable chink trash has to go. The means of production must become domestic again.
