Any "accidental" BIFL finds from AliExpress lately?
I used to avoid AliExpress thinking it was all disposable plastic. But my new neighbor just showed me a heavy-duty steel tool chest and some heavyweight cotton tees he bought there 4 years ago—they’re still in perfect shape.
It really challenged my "buy cheap, buy twice" mindset. I’m trying to stick to a strict budget, so I’m looking for more of these unbranded gems that actually last.
What have you bought in the last year that turned out to be a "buy it for life" workhorse?
