Proper tools made by proper craftsmen.
My father's lightsabre*, an elegant weapon for a more civilised age.

Also his screwdrivers, reference plane, sliderule and electric drill.

All of which are vastly better quality than can be purchased these days, and will in all likelyhood be handed on my own kids in the fullness of time.

*May not contain actual lightsabre

I have some of these sorts of things
handed down tools ftw.

I made my own contraption for determining what angles my wonky walls are at over the weekend. If I had made it from metal I could've handed that down to the kids I'm not going to have.
