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?

yeah but stupid knows no bounds!
look at first I was enamoured with USB-C, I mean you could seek the plug blindfolded,
I mean wow, with micro-USB you had the eye ball it, align it up, and push it in.
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.

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.
