My dad gave me my Swiss Army knife when I was about 11-12. Still has the tweezers, but the toothpick disappeared one of the times it got washed/dried. I'm 28 now. I can't even tell you how many PCs have been disassembled using those :p (it's the model with a philips head on it)

my aunt bought me a nautica down coat when i was in 8th grade. i'm now a senior in college and i still bust it out for winters. it's in great shape and i'll probably use it for 20+ years.

it's ugly though. :(

My $40 (in 1996 dollars) Mr. Coffee "Elite" coffee maker is going on 9 years old. It was one of the first things I bought when I moved out of my mom's house (for the second and final time). It's brewed thousands of gallons of coffee. I'm drinking a cup right now.

my ice trays, and an old '40s leather alaskan jacket are both older than me, don't know how long ago I got the jacket, but I've had the ice trays for 6 years now.

First thing that comes to mind is my 12 year old radio/alarm clock. I am not a morning person. This poor thing has taken a lot of abuse over the years.
