Some that come to mind are:

Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

i kind of can't believe how long my Seasonic PSU is lasting. It's been on continuously for the last like, 12 years. unreal

Have you tried unplugging it with things powered on to make sure the battery is working? The batteries are supposed to be replaced every couple years, I found out when I started having power outages last winter and my (seasonic) PSU just turned off when the power flickered and PC was running. I bought a replacement battery off Amazon for cheap and it was easy to swap out.

PSU is different than UPS. PSU is the Power Supply Unit and doesn't have a battery. UPS are Uninterruptable Power Supplies and do have batteries. Seasonic only makes PSU's.

Yup that's my bad, I misread the acronym and I guess imagined the brand of UPS I had.
