you'll be curiously attracted to these
0:01
charging cables let's find out why Dave
0:12
Taylor here and I'm looking at a bunch
0:13
of G pail quick tip magnetic cables now
0:17
we're gonna talk about them but let me
0:18
just demo exactly why they're so cool so
0:21
here's the Lightning one and it's
0:23
charging my phone and now it's
0:25
disconnected now where this is really
0:27
cool is because it works with a magnet
0:30
watch how easy it is to get it back into
0:32
the right place that's it now imagine
0:35
having this on your phone and wanting to
0:37
connect it to charge while you're
0:39
driving in your car so this is something
0:42
you can do even if you're not paying
0:45
very close attention but a regular cable
0:47
this is when you veer off the road and
0:49
get into an accident not good so the
0:52
secret of all of these Jeep L cables is
0:55
you guessed it a magnetic connector and
0:58
all three of them this is the microUSB
1:01
this is USB C and this one that I have
1:04
in use is actually the Lightning
1:07
connector but all three have the same
1:09
characteristic which is the actual
1:11
charging tip it's just a tiny little
1:13
piece that comes off and then when
1:16
you're ready to use it it just pops
1:18
right into place now let's look at that
1:21
again in super slow motion so you can
1:24
see how strong this magnet is other
1:31
notable features of the cables include
1:33
that they have built-in overheat
1:34
protection and that they have a really
1:37
nice braided cable and reinforced
1:40
connectors between the cable and the
1:42
ends so they're really nice in fact I
1:45
think this is the nicest micro USB
1:48
connector I've ever seen I don't even
1:50
like micro USB who designed something
1:53
that has an orientation that's so subtle
1:55
just not a good design but good news is
1:58
that we're moving to USB see for most
2:01
companies at least and that's a huge
2:03
improvement because it is turn it around
2:06
put it back on orientation free huzzah
2:10
finally orientation free connectors
2:13
second generation cables from GPL so
2:16
they've learned a lot from the first gen
2:17
and these have some really neat features
2:20
one of which is they support faster
2:22
charging so with my lightning connector
2:24
I plugged it into a quick charge wall
2:27
charger and I got a 42% charge in one
2:30
hour so that's pretty fast now you look
2:33
at that and you're like hmm or you hear
2:35
that and you say what does that mean and
2:37
here's the thing is that a lot of third
2:39
party lightning cables actually charge
2:41
your phone slowly because they don't
2:44
inter have interchange or have a
2:46
handshake with the device whatever it is
2:48
that tells the device that they can pump
2:51
a lot of wattage through so a lot of
2:53
times you use a cheap third party
2:55
lightning cable that you get for a
2:56
couple of bucks at Target or at the gas
2:58
station and they take forever to charge
3:01
but this is what's nice is that the GPL
3:04
actually has the right circuitry so it
3:06
charges faster 42% in an hour is pretty
3:09
decent actually now every single one of
3:12
these has a 5 foot cable so 5 feet is
3:16
pretty long you can see that here that's
3:19
a nice length for a cable and what I
3:22
really like is that they come in 1 or 2
3:26
or 3 packs so this is 9 cables that I
3:32
have here I am set four cables for a
3:36
whether my next smart phone is USB
3:39
see.well micro USB or a lightning
3:43
connector although the actual lightning
3:45
connector is in my iPhone 10 we'll just
3:47
keep it charging also notice there is a
3:50
tiny little light that shows that it's
3:54
charging that's really nice so it's a
3:57
little confirmation that you actually
3:58
have a hot connection and that's
4:00
something I really appreciate because
4:02
you can just glance at it and say oh
4:03
it's working good a lot of times in my
4:06
car I noticed that I have the little car
4:08
adapter and sometimes that just creeps
4:11
out just enough that it's not charging
4:13
though I think it is so this little
4:15
light for feedback super cool idea now
4:18
before we get to the price let me ask
4:20
there's a little tiny floating red
4:22
square on the lower right of the screen
4:24
if you can click on that and subscribe
4:27
channel I really appreciated and you yes
4:30
you will get all sorts of great videos
4:32
in your YouTube channel at least I hope
4:34
they're great videos and if they're not
4:36
leave me comments and give me feedback
4:39
now these GPL let's get all three of
4:43
them in the hands huh
4:46
okay these G pal quick tip magnetic
4:50
cables will cost you well let's see the
4:53
USBC 3-pack is 2299 the Lightning 3-pack
5:02
is twenty to forty nine and therefore
5:07
this must be the microUSB three pack is
5:11
$21.99 all at amazon.com why they're not
5:15
exactly the same price I cannot tell you
5:17
but that is roughly watts seven bucks a
5:21
cable for these really great cables with
5:23
the super magnetic tip I'm a fan and I
5:27
really think they've done a nice job
5:28
with these and the whole magnetic thing
5:31
just makes these really fun to work with
5:33
and this magnet is just like
5:35
ridiculously just like the perfect
5:37
strength to make it where you will never
5:39
actually put it on incorrectly because
5:41
you can't they just work well so I'm a
5:45
big fan I suggest you check them out
5:47
cables are really mundane products but
5:49
having the right cables does make your
5:51
life just that little bit better so
5:53
these might just be that so this is Dave
5:55
Taylor and I will hope to catch you in
