TL;DR: Get the GoCable 8-in-1 EDC 100W Cable for $24.99 (reg. $49.99) and combine charging, data transfer and several handy travel tools in one compact cable.
Carrying a charging cable is already a necessity for most people, so GoCable tries to make that one piece of gear do considerably more. The GoCable 8-in-1 EDC 100W Cable combines charging, data transfer, and several built-in tools in a compact design, and it’s currently $24.99 (reg. $49.99).
The cable supports up to 100W charging, making it suitable for everything from phones to laptops when paired with a compatible wall adapter or power bank. Universal connectors support USB-C-to-USB-C and Apple Lightning devices, while an LED display provides a quick look at charging status. A magnetic wrap keeps the cable contained instead of turning the inside of your bag into a knot factory.
The extras are what make this more of an everyday-carry gadget than a standard charging cable. A built-in bottle opener handles one common travel problem, while a concealed safety cutter can help open packages without requiring another tool. There’s also a carabiner clip for attaching the cable to a bag or belt, plus support for high-speed data transfers when you need to move files between compatible devices.
That combination is great for travelers, commuters, and creators who already carry several devices and want to consolidate some of their gear. A photographer, for example, could keep the cable handy for charging a camera or other equipment while also having a way to transfer files. It’s also small enough to keep attached to a backpack or keyring, so it doesn’t disappear into the bottom of a bag.
GoCable takes the familiar charging-cable concept and adds tools that don’t need their own space in your bag. Just keep in mind that the charging source isn’t included, so you’ll still need a compatible power adapter or power bank.
For anyone looking to simplify their everyday carry, the GoCable 8-in-1 EDC 100W Cable is available for $24.99 (reg. $49.99).
