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?

Eventually I'll get around to fixing it, right now it will power up find and then will cut out after a few minutes... Or at least that's what it was doing last time I messed with it so it's just been unplugged and back in the box for nearly a decade now.

Thanks for all the info, definitely let's me know not to just toss it in an oven (that was the original plan, then I shelved it).
