The Cable Wrangler is a "landing pad" for your cables that encloses a super strong magnet underneath a beautiful fabric design. Simply holding one of Silk's specially designed cables close by is enough to have it "land" in place and stay put. If you have a traditional cable, they include three adaptors that turn any cable into a compatible magnetic cable. The rubbery base combined with the heft of the device ensures the Cable Wrangler should stay put.
Pros
- Attractive design
- Keeps cords in place
- well built
- Affordable
- Clever idea
Cons
- Need special cables, or use the included adaptors
- Keep away from credit cards, pacemakers, etc.
Final Verdict
If you find it hard to locate your cables, the Cable Wrangler from Silk is an attractive option, literally and figuratively.
