Perhaps one of the most interesting things about working in tech is watching products like phones, tablets, and smart home gear rocket toward the future by pushing the boundaries of innovation, while other items stay largely the same.

Sure, cords, cables, and adapters have become more durable and better at providing faster and safer charging, but their overall design hasn’t really undergone much of a radical facelift over the years. That is, until I found Baseus’ Free2Pull retractable USB-C cables.
Baseus has eliminated tangled cords and made traveling even easier, all in one go. They offer two versions of their retractable USB-C cords: a 100W model, designed for larger tech products and quicker charging, and a 60W iteration, perfect for phones or smaller tech items. Both are 3.3 feet long, and use the same retractable technology with locking stops (similar to a retractable tape measure), so you can customize your cord length.

The only differences are, of course, the wattage and minor differences in the appearance. The 100W version has a larger circumference and a glossy front face with a matte-like back. The 60W model is plastic all around. They both come in four colors: White, Black, Blue, and Purple.

They both cost under $30, too, and are even on sale at both Baseus and Amazon (the 60W is 20% off on Amazon, and the 100W is available for 16% off at Amazon), making them thoughtful (and affordable) purchases for anyone.
I don’t know about you, but I will be purchasing several of these for my desk, car, and home, because they’re so useful and not something silly that could easily end up in the trash for being impractical.

The cords easily pull and lock when desired, fit into your pocket, and are ultra-handy. Plus, if you’d like a longer cord, the 100W is available in a 6.6ft version. I immediately added one of these to my travel kit to have on hand at all times because they’re the perfect charging essential. Plus, they’d be great
This retractable USB-C charger is my favorite travel accessory (and it’s under $10 now)
