--- Quote ---Why did you pick Makita tools for an example --- End quote --- Just a well-known professional brand. Dewalt is another, but it didn't make it to my fingers first, that's all :) |

But power tools are absolutely not in the scope of this directive as a few have already pointed out, why would you keep bringing that up? |

So what's not to like about that? :-// 6months later the USB-C is broken! because that biscuit connector in the middle is really really FRAGILE! :wtf: The ease of plugging it in allows you to become complacent with it, not surprising then it broke so easily, so more e-waste. I have never broken a micro-USB in years and years, i've got them on various rechargeable bike lamps and torches and more too, all still perfectly good. |

Tangentially related: Interesting video on looking at USB-C cables. They do seem to make the error of comparing Thunderbolt USB3/DisplayPort cables to USB2 cables, but it's still a fascinating insight into how these cables are constructed. |
