The inCharge 6 – or as Amazon calls it: The Six-in-One Swiss Army Knife of Cables, Portable Keyring Compatible with Apple iPhone/USB/USB-C/Micro USB Cable for All of Your Devices. This cable is short, about 2”. The whole device ready to charge is about 5”. But it’s versatile. You get USB to USB-C, USB to combo Lightning/Micro USB, USB-C to USB-C & USB-C to dual Lightning/Micro USB. The device is very lightweight and easy to use once you master the ‘hidden’ connectors. With built-in magnets the heads snap together to hang on your keyring, backpack, etc. The company says you can sync and charge simultaneously. And this I haven’t seen before. This cable supports power transfer from one USB-C smartphone to another which doesn’t have to be USB-C, as you’ll see in my video. It can also charge from one USB-C smartphone to another type of portable device. So you can give a charge to a phone running out of juice, or charge earbuds, etc. It was under $20 on Amazon on 3/21/21, but that price can change at any time.

Key Chain Led Light & Loud Security Alarm
In order to find more interesting, useful gadgets in Amazon, I typed “Best selling gadgets under $25”. Of the list that came up I picked the Taiker Personal Alarm for Women. It’s a 140DB Emergency Self-Defense Security Alarm Key chain with LED Light for Women Kids and Elders. According to that description us men are on our own. The company says ‘with a loud 140DB sound, this self-defense key chain alarm can make a sound loud enough to draw the attention of others at a far distance, which can effectively scare attackers in danger and seek people around for help. Also has an LED light. The portable size can be attached on key chain, backpack, etc. The alarm is activated when you pulled the contact pin out, and siren will sound continuously for 30 minutes unless unless pin is reinserted to device.’ WARNING! THESE ARE LOUD SO YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOUR OWN EARS WHEN USING THE ALARM. Most likely just wearing your own ear buds or headphones will help some. Batteries are said to last 90 minutes which is long for that much sound. It comes with 3 LR44 batteries and they are replaceable. The price is unbelievable! 7 units in various colors for $20.99, which comes to $3 each. This price can change at any time on Amazon. They got decent reviews on Amazon too, check them out.
An Idea from The Giz Wiz. Soyou don’t lose the pin needed to silence the alarm, I put the end of the pull cord onto the key-ring. It makes it a touch harder to pull the pin, but it won’t get seperated from the alarm.

Read In Bed Without Disturbing Your Sleeping Partner.
It’s easy to be able to read in bed at night without disturbing your spouse. Or read on an airplane where there’s very little overhead light. Meet the strangely named Takkui Rechargeable LED Necklight. It offers 3 temperature light modes, yellow (3000K), warm white (4000K) and cool white (6000K). Plus each of those settings has a switch for 3 brightness levels. Choose a comfortable setting for reading, knitting, camping, repairing, crafts, etc. It’s covered with a comfortable soft rubber, which the company says is sweatproof, bendable and strong so you can twist, or fold to create the perfect illumination for yourself. Only 0.22Ib so it can easily fit your carry-on, backpack or even (large) pocket. The narrow beam angle design shouldn’t disturb a sleeping partner. Rechargeable built-in 1000mAh battery provides up to 40 hours of power depending on brightness. MSRP: $17.99.

This one didn’t make it to air, but it’s another useful gadget.
It’s a different kind of keychain for belt, backpack, etc.
When keys started falling out my old keychain I decided to buy a new one. I figured I’d search for a different kind of keychain that might be interesting. On Amazon I found the 121 Fruit Way which uses a push button to open the clasp. It’s supposed to make it much easier to detach or clip on your belt loop, but if you don’t think it does that, it still works the old fashioned way by pushing it up against your belt loop. These are very nicely made and you can’t beat the price. They were 2 for $10 as of 3/22/21, but that price on Amazon can change at any time.
