Just looking down at my desk for things I've had 30-odd years and still using:

Pentel Kerry mechanical pencil (https://www.pentel.com/products/sharp-kerry-mechanical-penci...)

Concord nail clippers (https://www.amazon.com/Concord-Black-Executive-Nail-Clipper/...)

Leatherman Micra (mine is made in USA) (https://www.leatherman.com/micra-20.html)

Have you replaced the mechanical pencil over the years or is that still your original one?

Original, old version with "Pentel 5" on the cap. It's had heavy use but shows no sign of it except tiny marks on the finish. I did buy a second one recently to have a different color. (Midlife crisis, I guess.) The new one is just very slightly not as nicely constructed.
