If you want indestructible, gotta have some trade offs.

I’ve found that this Yeti (different sizes) is damn near indestructible. I have no idea what day to day situation you could be in to break this.

Plastic time and heat don’t work well together sadly. Sometimes it’s just a matter of buying a more durable material

Are you trying to use it as an everything tool for every day? Why wouldn’t you buy the correct tool when doing reparative tasks. I’ve never had a leatherman fail on me or my family. Had mine for a decade before I lost it

Eh, other than no safety measures I don’t believe anything due to fatigue could fail, much less cause a fire.

Because it’s aluminum it will fail at some point. It isn’t ferrous, so it doesn’t have an endurance strength( Infinite life). How many stress cycles it can endure, I can’t tell you. It all depends on how they designed it.
Pressure vessels are usually required to have a factor of safety of about 6, but I’m not sure if something like this would need to adhere to that. If it did have that high factor of safety, it would last quite a long time.
For a reference point, it could be designed for 10,000 or 100,000 or 1,000,000 cycles. You’d have to ask the engineers who designed it that question.

Your best bet is to find one in person and feel how sturdy it is. Not much can fail on a lamp

I disagree. A camping subreddit is much more specialized, and would have a much greater knowledge of equipment.

Can’t go wrong with a Honda engine. Just make sure to follow the maintenance schedule and I can almost promise it will outlast you.

Honda, just make sure there’s no excessive gimmicks that could break on it.
