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?

Boring answer but my hair clippers.

Ain't been to the professionals for years.

Hadn't even though of this. I don't think I've seen a barber in 2 years. I'm glad my partner had experience shaving their dad's head though, they do a nice job
