I'll start my own thread with OXO for their kitchen goods. After a decade of dealing with subpar containers and utensils, I've slowly started to rebuild my set with OXO stuff and habe yet to be disappointed by anything of theirs.

Seconded with Knipex hand tools. They're far pricier than the competition you'll find on the store shelves, but the quality and engineering is better than anything else you can reasonably find (barring boutique toolmakers).

Le Creuset... but there's a secret... They're SUPER expensive.

So you find your local outlet store and sign up for their mailing list. You'll regularly get 30%, 40%, 50% off deals.

2nd trick, they have an outstanding warranty. Bring it in, they swap it out.

I have an outstanding warrant ...is that the same?

Not quite, but I encourage you to visit your warrant provider for more details to prevent loss of service.
