In the past six months, I’ve been accumulating a massive list of every possible product one could need. From windshield wipers to tea kettles to lawn mowers, it’s on this list. Not for replacement, but for reference for when an item does need to be replaced. Mods, if a post of this size goes against the rules, take it down, but I have great faith that this is an excellent compilation of BIFL items.
If you were curious about an inclusion, would like to add or remove something, or would just like to give your thoughts, please tell me! I’m in rapid pursuit of the best, and I’m willingly to hear anyone and anything out.

Edit(s): Hi! I suppose that, while this post has gained so much traction, I may as well call attention to things that concern me/aren't as BIFL as I want:
​
- If you know of better alternatives for any of my restaurant supply store items, please do comment them!
- I don't understand how Sub-Zero fridges are so expensive, but every other brand from Bosch to Miele to GE to whirlpool has some sort of hate group after each except $20,000 restaurant grade Sub-Zero (nope we got testaments that Sub-Zero can be shitty too). I'm aware this may be a fool's errand, but if you know of better or equal for a better price, please tell me! I'm fine with commercial! (not walk in, though. I'm not that crazy.)
- I'd like a source of borosilicate glassware, but can't find a reputable manufacturer here in the United States. Please send one my way!
- I want more office supplies. It sounds like Fiskars has more Chinese production than I was previously aware and I would appreciate suggestions!
