Why it's buy-it-for-life
An owner used an original ReTrak retractable cable set for years after buying it in 2016, until a friend broke the cable through misuse. On a newer universal set, the wall charging unit failed, but ReTrak customer service replaced it free of charge within hours of the request.
What owners say
The original poster used a ReTrak retractable charging cable set for years starting in 2016, until a friend accidentally broke the cable. On a newer universal set bought with a USB-C tip, the wall charging unit later failed, but ReTrak's customer service replaced it within hours after the poster sent photos of the fault. The poster notes electronics aren't typically considered BIFL, but believes the original charger would still be in use today if it hadn't been damaged by someone else.

ReTrak's customer service rep responded within hours of my initial request to replace the wall unit. They asked for pictures, and sent out the replacement right away.
