Some that come to mind are:

Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

For espresso machines I would recommend Gaggia. I bought one that was at least third hand and from 2000. It still works great and if anything breaks all the parts can be bought online

Bosch electric drill. I’m not a tradesman or a professional, but I’ve had mine for over 30 years, doing household and hobby work, drilled holes in brick, concrete, wood, metal, and it’s never let me down.

Dyson vacuum cleaners. I've had mine for about 20 years, had to replace a part here and there, but it's just as strong as the day I got it. Probably the single best purchase I've ever made. A close second would be my Sonicare toothbrush.

Benchmade are horrible. If you're looking for a good knife, go with strider or extrema ratio.
