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

USB-Cable - Anker

3 years ago I bought a double pack of usb-C to A cables on Amazon. Description mentioned a lifetime warranty so I took a screenshot for future. The only thing Anker wanted to know was the production number (which is on the packaging) and a proof of destruction of the old broken cable. Not a single usb cable survived longer than a year at our household despite Ankers.

Ugreen aswell. They chargers and powerbanks are sturdy, compact, and work great.

Amazon Basics’ line of braided USB cables is comparable to Anker, btw. Lots of people estimate that they’re made on the same production line.

I bought a three pack of their lightning cables five or six years ago. Every single one of them sees daily use (at my work desk, in my car, next to my bed) and every single one is still working just fine. Hell, they outlasted the phone I bought them for.

Someone is going around downvoting everyone who says something good about Anker without replying to any of the comments.

Poor etiquette, imo

I'm an Android developer and have owned a huge amount of cables and use them an absurd amount for times. Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience with Anker cables. They seem to die on me as fast as other brands, usually what happens is phone connection ends up being hit or miss after a lot of use (eg. You have to wiggle it or the connection is lost if the cable is lightly disturbed).

From my personal experience UGreen is currently holding the record for longest lasting cables. So far they have outlasted all of my other cables to the point where almost all of the cables I have left are UGreen because all of the other cables have failed.

Anker cables and USB splitters are the absolute best.

They look good indeed. Can you also recommend their USB chargers? I am looking for a 3A USB charger with at least 2 ports.

For the last one I had one of the pins broke and got stuck in the outlet, it was a very funny experience.

Anker is basically the only phone accessory brand I use. Now that iPhone moved to USB-C, Costco finally carries USB-C cables and they sell a really nice set of Anker cables, and Costco vouching for them tells me all I need to know.

I’ve had an Anker 2 port 3A charger for at least 5 years or so and don’t have any complaints about it. I’ve been an Anker fanboy for a while (albeit, I don’t buy a ton of electronics, but when I do need something Anker is my go-to), but I will say that doing some Googling recently it sounds like their quality might be going down. Just something to be aware of; I’ll probably keep buying from them unless I have a bad experience or keep hearing similar things. I’m just not aware of an alternative that’s as good as they have been.

I got one of their 100W chargers and it's awesome. Can charge my MacBook from work, but is smaller than the bundled Mac charger.

Can power my personal surface + phone + wife's phone.

It's great!
