What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

Epson Ecotank Printer

Has ink tanks so money isn't wasted on cartridges and the printer is actually initially expensive unlike those printers that make money back on ink catriges

Hammer Drill with the proper bits

Makes it easier to mount shit to bricks, goes in brick like butter if you're using the right drill and bits

I recomend Ryobi Hammer Drill & Bits

Air Fryer

I've stopped using my oven and only use it rarely for things that I don't want blown apart thst I can weigh down with a fork or spoon like Pizza for example

Refillable Japanese brand pens and mechanical pencil

I recently got these to aid in Japanese study and refillable pens are more economical in the long run

And Japanese brands go hard on the quality of stationary and I got introduced into the cult of stationary obsession with this

I'll edit my comment if I can think of anything else

Make sure you use that printer once a month. I let mine sit and the ink dried on its nozzels or somewhere and now it won't work. I've attempted to fix it with no luck. Was a great printer until that happened.
