This retractable fast charging USB-C cable is a must-buy for just $9
When you’re in a hurry and shoving charging cables into your bag, you risk them getting damaged or tangled. That will never be an issue again if you grab this retractable Baseus USB-C cable that’s only $9 on Woot right now—a stunning 55% discount (was $20). Baseus made an amazing cable for anyone who hates worrying about their cables getting snagged on random crap. This one automatically winds itself up in its protective casing, so it takes up less space and avoids unwanted snags and doesn’t get tangled. This thing is only 3.3 feet long, but that’s enough for most needs. Sure, you might want a 6-footer when you’re lounging in your bed and plugged into the wall, but for any other time, this length is perfect. And with it supporting up to 100 watts of charging power, this cable can fast-charge any phone or laptop (as long as you have a power bank or wall plug that’s capable of pushing that much wattage). At $9, this retractable Baseus USB-C cable is a no-brainer impulse buy. And with this being a Woot deal, you can even score free shipping if you have Prime. But it’s only available for the next few days—or until stock runs out—so don’t wait. Order now before it expires! This retractable USB-C cable is an absolute bargain for $9Buy now via Woot
