Reply to I know it's a cliché around here, but my Saddleback Leather satchel is over 10 years old and has a quarter million air miles on it, mostly shoved under a seat. It does not lead a sheltered life and it's in fantastic shape. by is_it_on
I have their thin wallet, love it. Definitely seems like it will outlast me.

No, but I know they make extra long ones that come with sandwich cages, that may do what you want.
All of them have really nice double sided heating elements though, that’s their claim to fame.

Nah, Hobart Manufacturing. They only make foodservice equipment AFAIK.

Well the insides of these older ones are better. They were made by Hobart, who still make commercial mixers to this day.
Main differences are in the gearing inside (metal on older vs plastic on newer ones). Newer ones will still likely last quite a long time, and the plastic gear is a wear part/sacrificial to prevent more expensive damage.

Reply to comment by Ganglar in Saw a post comparing leather belts, heres my grip6 belt after 3 years of daily use. One of the only new products ive brought that could outlast me I think. by Borgey_
In the US, you would be hard pressed to find quality belts like you describe in department stores.

Try a belt from Hanks Belts. They are solid leather, super thick.
Most “leather” is bonded garbage that’s loosely sewn or glued together, which will indeed fall apart over time. These belts (and others like them) are solid leather, much closer to a saddle. (You ever hear of saddle leather falling apart in 5 years?)

Stainless isn’t rust proof. It’s just quite rust resistant.
