Just hit 1000 hours on my wire stripper without a single blade change

I got this tool as a gift from my old boss when I left his crew in Austin. I've used it on every install since, from basic home systems to a big commercial job with 80 zones. The blade is still sharp enough to cleanly strip 22/4 without nicking the copper. Anyone else have a tool that just refuses to quit?

Got a pair of Klein strippers from my dad's old toolbox. Must be 20 years old now. The spring is weak and the handles are beat up, but the cutters still go through 12/2 Romex like it's nothing. Some tools are just built right.

Actually, wire strippers don't have blades you change out, they have cutting dies. That's a crazy good run for any tool though.
