In my case 30 years, I've never been able to bend it. Still has the original handle. I'm sure there are cheep ones out there, I forget what I paid, but purchased on for my son when he first moved out and it was around $30 and that was 10 years ago. I've lost track of all the other shovels I owned, none lasted more than 10 years. The shovel is aluminum so it cannot rust. Go to a store and check one out.

Im not an optician, but my wife is. Here is her reply.

"Anyone who stares at a lighted screen is receiving unwanted blue light that can potentially harm the retina. Most eyecare professionals recommend buying blue light protective lenses. Usually this involves a blue light filter incorporated into an antiglare (non-reflective) coating. That provides sonewhere around 30% blue light protecton. Another method is Essilor's Transitions Extra-active photochronatic lens. This is a light changing lens that gets extra dark outside... BUT...it is supposed to block at least 80% of blue light, so it us valuable inside as well. Prices on these (and all other optical products) can vary greatly. Don't be afraid to shop around! The discount optical chains are just as good lenswise as the expensive stores, they just don't have the most expensive frames!"

It won't be cheap, but look up Dutch Crafters of Myerstown, PA. There is no veneer, all solid wood construction. They make everything. It's the quality your grandchildren will be fighting over. They made our dining room set, and our bedroom set. We weren't rich and literally purchased one piece at a time over 5 years.

Majority of the major brands of ovens are good, not like a frig, washer, dryer or dishwasher due to.moving parts. We have a Frigidaire for an oven, going on 10 years with no problems.
When talking with the appliance repair man who was in to fix the dishwasher, his one comment was never use self cleaning! This is due to all makes putting the control board on top of the oven where the high heat leads to failure. His recommendation is not to let it get too dirty. And if needed spray oven cleaner is the way to go.
