Thread in the handgun section today about a product improvement got me to thinking about how many products I've used or known that were discontinued or changed because they work TOO well.

I'll start:
Rocky Mountain Titanium Broadheads
Skyhook tree steps

My ProMac chain saws. Still cutting great after 34 years. Did buy a Pro Stihl when one was down for a week, but always start work with the Macs. How can a company make a buck when the product never seems to wear out?

Early thermal video cameras? I heard that the video companies have downgraded the thermal imagery abilities due to the perverts recording women to check out their figures through the clothing.

Disston Abraders...
In the '70s they made a huge line of abrasives with carbide tits (VERY sharp) arranged very uniformly and of exactly equal sizes. They cut wood like a beaver on speed and NEVER wore out.

They were cheap, too.

Someone bought the rights from them and stopped the manufacture... hard to sell sandpaper with those bad boys around!

I have an old Horse that is still going. I swapped the engine out a couple of years ago, and the tines are about due for replacement. Everything else still goes fine.

Simms waders circa 2003 or so. I've got a pair that is still keeping me dry.

I think they've cheapened them up since then. When a guy who fishes as much as I do can go a decade + without buying a new pair, it's going to hurt sales a little bit.

All great picks except the Vasque boots? Only because I've never heard of them.

Danners are the only hunting boots I'll buy! And while Shakespeare Ugly sticks may not be in the top 10 best fishing rods, they are the ONLY fishing rod that I've never been able to destroy. They are definitely my favorite catfishing rods!
And the Ruger RedHawk is by far the toughest double action revolvers ever built!

I'll also add Simms GuideWear Waders to the list. Toughest damn waders ever made!

Cialis. 4 hours, Pfffttt!!! Try 3 days! Im serious. When I drank a lot, I needed a little "help" on the weekends. Asked the doc for a sample of viagra, he said nah, you want this and gave me cialis. If the wind blew wrong you were pitching a tent. Strong stuff!

I wore the Vasque Sundowner boots for 30 years until they took them to China. What I wouldn't give to have two brand new Italian made pairs in 11 narrow.

Danners are for flatlanders. (yes I have had a couple of pairs of Danners, they didn't compare)

All great picks except the Vasque boots? Only because I've never heard of them.

Danners are the only hunting boots I'll buy! And while Shakespeare Ugly sticks may not be in the top 10 best fishing rods, they are the ONLY fishing rod that I've never been able to destroy. They are definitely my favorite catfishing rods!
And the Ruger RedHawk is by far the toughest double action revolvers ever built!

I'll also add Simms GuideWear Waders to the list. Toughest damn waders ever made!


I had a pair of Vasque that lasted a LONG time before they came apart.

Danners, though we don't have anything newer than likely 2002 or so, have fallen apart quite quickly, though they were very comfortable for my wife and she has asked for more, I"ve said I think next time she gets fitted HanWags like I have...

In great detail... All Sony did was install another IR filter to block that level of IR. The camera sensor still sees it and there are known hacks to make it do it's tricks again. grin

They're making them again, JJ. I saw a NIB 4" Redhawk in .45LC and .45ACP (uses moon clips) at a local gunshow yesterday. grin

I had an '86 F150 4wd, super cab, long bed, that got 18+mpg highway, 13-14mpg putting around town. One on the last carbureted ones. I sure miss that truck.

Add Phisohex and regular, no ethanol gasoline to the list.

I can still occasionally get no ethanol gas, but it's expensive.

We paid 10% more for Ethyl gasoline because it had more lead than Regular gasoline. They quit making Ethyl and took the lead out of Regular and charged us more for the unleaded. Then they added ethanol and charge us more because ethanol is expensive.

Now, they charge us more for leaving the ethanol out.

See..... it's not so strange that we may elect Hillary.

At the going rate of $5.00/lb for a good cast steel anvil they just aren't your everyday handyman/homeowners tool anymore.

Delta single stem shower faucets. They are so good they last to long . They are in the assembly so long (hard water areas) often they are stuck and you can't get them out. So you have to replace the entire assembly.

Back in the 80's my Wife worked for an old Dr. and He had the nurses make the ones He used. Fluff a piece of cotton and twirl the stick into. Sounds simple but those nurses were good at it, and they looked store bought. He also made a purple medicine that He used on lots of things. Good stuff, but the recipe died with Him. He would never tell all of the ingredients. miles

Royalex canoes. Royalex is no more and we're still waiting for a comparable replacement.

My old Canon SLR. Still works perfect and all the lenses still awesome glass - but unusable.

All those made in the US knives from Schrade.

Gave my father in law Lou Gehrig's disease, along with the majority of servicemen stationed on an air base up north on summer. Sprayed it every day for mosquitoes. Said he remembered marching in formation through clouds of the stuff. Pretty much everyone on the base came down with ALS. Sad situation.

If that was the case, everybody in East Arkansas would have came down with it, and I only know of one person that did. The house that I grew up in had permanent stains on the ceiling from DDT that was sprayed there when I was a baby. miles
