Already mentioned in thread, Anker cables. It has very good threaded covers that are strong and hard to damage. Internal copper cables and the USB ends are also very well made so there is no chance for it to fray or crack.

Bought a pair pack over 6 years ago. Still haven't used the second cable because the first one is as good as new.

Also NGK spark plugs lol.

This is what everyone told me, so I bought a two pack of Anker branded cables. Both of them broke and wouldn't charge without being held at a weird angle within a month. I bought an Amazon basics cable after that and it has worked for years just fine.

I seem to be in the minority here, but I will never buy Anker again after this awful experience.

The main thing that kills cables is sitting a phone in portrait on one's chest and having it plugged in for charging. That creates a nice 90-degree or nearly 90-degree bend that just destroys the cable over time.

Anker has been hit-or-miss for me. It either craps out early, or lasts much longer than it has any right to. They're still my go-to for cables, because I usually lose or give many of them away before they have a chance to show their worth

The Anker Powerline 3 Usb C cables are amazing. 100W rated, nearly impossible to tangle and I've had no issue with them being used continuously for either my phone or laptops, including surviving a lot of falls, being pinched, run over by a desk chair, etc. I have two and would buy more but I'm waiting for USB C to up the max wattage before I do. The colors are also a nice touch.

I've now got NGK plugs, leads and coils in my 21 year old car. They definitely don't need replacing often. Especially of you go iridium.
