Cleaned out the shop and found my first trowel from 15 years ago

It's crazy to think I've been laying brick for over half my life now. That old tool has seen more yards of mortar than I can even count. What's the oldest piece of gear you guys still use?

Half my life, wow. My dad still uses the same tape measure from when he built our deck, the numbers are totally worn off.

That's so real, my dad has this old hammer with the handle held together by duct tape. He refuses to get a new one, says it's just broken in right lol. It's wild how they get attached to tools that are basically falling apart.

Oh man, @the_val, my grandpa's wrench is pure rust.
