Maybe look at commercial soap dispensers? Commercial products are almost always repairable and readily available. Anything electronic usually isn’t BIFL though, at least not anymore.

I like Fisher Pens personally. They’re not fancy or the “best” but, they’re relatively cheap, readily available, and can write in basically any condition, including space lol

Wasn’t he? In the end wasn’t he a Samurai after all?

I personally find that anything made out of metal is always(almost) better than there plastic alternative. I used to work in plumbing in my youth, at some point in my plumbing career I started refusing to install faucets made of plastic because the customer would always call us back because it started leaking.
