Avoiding the usual toilet paper and paper towel answers, Bluetooth speakers.

Decent sounding ones can be had dirt cheap, but I've found that ones made by power tool brands tend to last longer and be more reliable when abused. I'm more than happy to pay double price if it will last me 4 times as long before it fails on me. I haven't had my current one very long, but the last one lasted almost 6 years of genuine abuse before it died after falling into a vat of used motor oil. The usual life span for bluetooth speakers is about 6 months (general abuse) to a year or two (battery failure). I'm a bit rough on my kit.
