Reply to Have to give a shout out to KitchenAid tongs, some of the best I’ve ever used. by technetiumobviously
Metal tongs for me are not bifl. They always fail eventually. The rivet on that kitchenaid for example is a weak point.
I long ago switched to a type of plastic tongs, never going back as they seem near indestructible. I even leave them on my pan and zero issues with melting. Far easier to clean also.
A cheap set like this is basically bomb proof:

A lot if the “newfangled tech” in modern vehicles is required by law now (safety features) so some of the stuff he will have to accept if buying a brand new car.
With that said, have you looked at Hyundai? I know three older folks with Hyundai sedans, and all love them.

Stainless steel is usually pretty good and glides across cooktops nice and smoothly.
All-clad is always a good choice. I try not to buy a pan with multiple layers.

Well they are all pretty simple to operate, gas breaks turning signals….you don’t have to touch any of the fancy buttons. You might be overthinking this.

Following this line of logic, I think small shops are the only ones with aligned incentives. A single person or small team is never going to run out of people to sell to, provided they can ship far enough. Of course just being a small shop isn't a guarantee of quality. Probably the opposite— there's a lot more variability between good and bad between small shops, or even between different batches from the same shop. But at least the possibility is there. So I guess that points to… something like etsy? Or local, if it exists in your area.

Original controllers have the best quality control/quality. Anything else will break even faster

I have had these for 4-5 years:

They have held up good, but I dont use and abuse them. I use them for brewing beer and smoking meats so I maybe use them 10 times a year.

I don't see any pans on the Mauviel site that have 2.5mm of copper, although I do see some on other sites. Are they discontinued?
They do have a set specifically for induction though. Very expensive!

Yeah but ATK generally chooses OXO over kitchenaid. Or at least that’s the trend I feel like I see.

Highly recommend checking out Parachute Home! Also, I'd make sure to wash on warm and line dry to make the fabric last longer! :)

Yeah no doubt. Meant to comment on that. Fibrox is the best value in kitchen knives by a mile.
