What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works) (reddthat.com)

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

My only example are zippos

Honest question, how long is the fluid supposed to last? And I'm not talking about burning time. I have a zippo, I fill it, a few weeks later I go to use it and the flame lasts a few seconds as the fuel finishes.

You need to recharge it like every week, no need to be "zippo fuel" with any crappy benzine its ok. Its hard to get out of fuel by use, use it or not will last allmost the same time.
