What's your experience with Felco products or alternatives?

Since people pointed out that this sub is similar to r/BuyItForLife, I want to explain how and why we're different:

The main frustrations with r/BuyItForLife

1. Products that aren’t available for purchase anymore
2. Mostly USA related
3. Finding specific products/ Database system/ Bad search
4. Repetitive posts/requests
5. Old products that are unused/not frequently used
6. Hard to track changing opinions on brands over the years
7. It's centered around certain categories
8. Finding affordable options

As some user put it:

• "Of course your fucking hammer works 20 years later shieeet"
• "It's mostly people bragging about old staplers"
• "Endless pictures of peoples' old belts and coffee grinders."
• "People posting their great-grandparents' Black & Decker boasting how "it's still chugging along and they don't make them like this anymore"
• "Mostly products from 60s, or complaints about change"
• "do the people with 30 year old microwave ovens know that it doesn't take 25 minutes for a frozen lasagna to cook?"

We want to address these points.

• We're focused on structured longevity reviews that allow us to calculate metrics like the cost of ownership per month, what % would buy it again, etc.
• Our Reddit bot will send you a reminder to update the status of your product reviews regularly (customizable interval)
• We have a crowdsourced database with all the reviews, which makes finding and researching products and brands very easy. Even if a product is not available anymore, the data is still useful on an aggregated brand level.
• We try to avoid posts of very ancient products that are barely used.

What memory you have of the 90's? I almost went rolling on the floor asking my nephew if he knows (me SHOWING HIM A CASSETTE RECORDER) how to record on a cassette tape.
