OP's question begs another ... how many drip tips has he chewed though whilst inspecting the ways hooples try to disprove the "darn near indestructable (high explosives the possible exception)" durability reputation?
I was working with some heavy equipment and aggregates the other day and considered making a video of scooping a big bucket of rocks onto my REO, then driving over the pile, then digging the REO out for use, but I only had my ONE (1) REO on me and such abuse would probably void warranty. If, for some ungodly reason, I had destroyed my REO in the process, I would have probably lost my mind.
All is well with my REO, today. I rock the same thing as the REO Grand prototype. I think it should last, unless I run it over with a machine or drop a boulder on it lol.
