None, I either buy whatever is convenient if it's a small ticket item, or research the individual make/models to decide what is best.

Aside from battery powered tools, but that isn't brand loyalty, just the convenience of not having to mess around with a bunch of different batteries.

Wouldn't say I'm loyal but out of my handguns, I have more Glocks than any other brand. I do own 1 SIG handgun.

Want to get in the P365 family eventually.

Recently went from using Goodyear all terrain tires for the last 15 years to Toyo. No big deal to me.

Mostly have Vortex for spotting scopes/binos/rangefinder. I buy what I like, is the best, and/or is reasonably priced no matter the brand.

Certainly not going out of the way to buy and wear a company's logo'd hats or shirts.

They're not paying me.

Defense Soap.

That's pretty much the only one I can think of that I never buy any other brand of that product. I mainly stick to Charmin TP, but the wife sometimes buys something else. Mainly stick to Crown Royal for whiskey cokes, but if I send the wife 50/50 chance I get CR or CC. For sipping whiskey, I prefer JD.

There are brands I tend to hold in high regard, but "loyal" is a stretch. When I see quality start to slip, I will look for an alternative. Very few brands manage to permanently avoid the cost cutting "innovation" of some new executive with his head up his ass.

Looks like we all have some of the same base loyalties or types of items that we have a brand preference on.

Ford vehicles.
Whirlpool appliances.
PSB speakers
Apple phones
Rockport shoes
Jockey made in USA tees
Hanks for leather items (belts etc)
Toro and Honda for outdoor equipment
Ryobi for homeowner grade power tools
Glock and Sig Sauer for handguns
Escort radar detectors
Delta and Kohler faucets/fixtures
G.skill for PC ram, MSI for mainboards/VGA
Beautyrest mattresses

I think that covers it well.

None. I support them when they do what I like and don't when they outsource or otherwise crap the bed. I'm kinda loyal to physical factories I guess, but certainly not the brand.

American made thorogood boots possibly.

Glock, cheap and they work

CCI, their primers work

Hornady, their projectiles work

Apple phones, not cheap but they last ~4 years or so

5.11 makes decent shirts that last a long time

Spyderco knives

Personna razor blades seem to work for me

Duracell batteries for disposable batteries

Interstate or Panasonic for car batteries

That's about it, everything else besides my religion is open to change.

I like Oxo kitchen products. They've fixed/replaced a few items for me.

I have an old mandoline and the blade edge was shot. I could not find a replacement online so I called their customer service, emailed them a pic of it (there are different designs/mounting configurations), and they sent me an upgraded replacement for FREE!

Quoted:
Of course there are lots of independent, critical thinkers here. And yeah, it's obviously a no-brainer to evaluate products and goods on their own merits. But in the long run, many folks logically develop brand loyalties based upon repeated instances of that very same critical thinking. And maybe also through knowledge about the entity that produces or supplies the products or goods.

So in general, what are some of your brand loyalties? I'm thinking with all the sharp folks here, this might be an opportunity to learn something of value.

(and IN!!! before mah data mining

Magpul (but the BCM rifle grips are better).
Geissele (ACH is best CH on the market by far). AMAZING customer service (I broke a CH trying to mortar a stuck shell and they replaced it free of charge

).

CZ

That dude who hand builds the Cast Iron slings here on ARFCOM. Best sling on the market and less expensive than competitors by a wide margin.
