Wife and I were driving across the country to AZ years ago.  I told her to rent whatever economy car she wanted.  Came home from work the day we were to leave and there sat a Pontiac vibe.....  She knows I HATE Pontiacs and did it trying to be funny....  So I made a bet with her that we would count the broken down cars on the highway all the way to AZ and that I bet the most would be Pontiacs.

Not only were there 0 broken Pontiacs, the most broken down vehicles on the shoulder were Dodge Rams....  Which was my daily driver.  She took much joy in this.

I only like real pontiacs, and to me the last real one was a fiero, any thing after is just a shell of a once great automaker.

Mine gets slammed by elements(direct sun,rain etc) due to my work. This ones about 4-5 months old. The swivel clasp at the shoulder strap is a week spot. Cheap metal.
There's about 16-18+ pounds in there iirc.

It varies... We manufacture phenolic panels (a relative of bakelite), which can be further processed and laminated wood products. Could be anything from casegoods, medical equipment parts, cutting boards, machine parts, cladding (fancy siding ), wall paneling, etc... I get a good mix and it keeps it interesting at least. Phenolic is an underappreciated product, the things you can make are pretty broad and varying. It is for more than circuit boards. I made my home backbar out of some 1" thick stuff, only drawback is it is a nutbuster to move.

I have a potato pic of the router from my  old phone, at home now.
