My qualm is the snow shovel. My dad has one that he got back when he first got his license (he is now 55), and I kid you not, he is still using it. This thing has seen some serious use too. He has a snow removal route and I can tell you that this shovel has earned him quite a bit of money. 95% of the route is done with his snow plow, but the shovel comes in handy for the odd sidewalk.
Fast forward to the crap we have today. Weird bent shapes that are supposed to be ergonomically correct just make it impossible to balance a full scoop of snow as you go to toss it. Insane designs that make it impossible to clear a sidewalk.
Yeah, they don't make snow shovels they way they used to.
