 Good Price/Quality compromise. May 22, 2010
I finally bought one after reading all the reviews, the product is good for moderate use not for professionals I believe, it claims to have a 4 gauge cable (flexible weldering style) it looks a little bit less than that to me but can't prove it with facts, clamps could be better they all have a different tension feel when you squeeze them (bit annoying) it comes inside a heavy duty carton with handles for storage and it's very compact for a 16 footer. Conclusion, a GOOD cosumer quality product if you are not looking and wiling to pay for the very best. I'm satisfied.

 Good sturdy and reliable! May 16, 2010
What more do you need in a set of jumper cables? I had a car safety kit and need to give a friend a jump so I pulled out the cables and hooked them up. After 10 minutes of waiting his car still did not start. I left the cable attached to my car and touched the other two together and nothing happened. I ended up having to tear each handle apart, strip each conductor end, and reattach to get the cables to work. Even after that the cable were extremely hot after using them. With this set I will not have to worry about any of that.
If you think your cheap, thin gauge jumper cables are going to do the trick, think again. Without a set like these you are likely to end up stranded or start a fire.

 Good Jumper Cables for the money, But..... Mar 29, 2010
For the price and in the right situations these are good cables. Good length, good ga. wire and copper connectors. But for me where they fall short is at the clamps and this type of clamp seems to be on MANY cables available today. I could not see it in the photos but the clamps are uneven at the ends because of the extra notch the manufacturer adds on one side to make it easier to connect to side terminal batteries. Also there are NO teeth on the end of the jaws so you HAVE to make your connection using the teeth on the sides of the jaws. This does not sound like a big deal until you are in a tight situation and have to clamp onto a top post battery straight down, then you have an uneven clamp end and no teeth to grip the post. I happen to also have a car (a domestic) with a remote mounted battery, not a HOT ROD or modified car, just a stock factory production car where the manufacturer could not fit the battery under the hood for space saving and design reasons and put it elsewhere in the car. Remote batteries used to be a rare thing on mostly European cars but it is fairly common now on all makes of cars. With the battery not under the hood or in the trunk I have a Pos. and Neg. lug under the hood at the end of battery cables to jump the car with. The Pos. lug is surrounded by plastic in a depression to prevent anything from accidentally hitting it and shorting. Because of this there is little room and I can not get the side of these jumper cable clamps to grab the lug, I need teeth on the end of the jaws to grip the Pos. lug. I'm returning these cables and for $15 more (on sale) than the price of these cables I got the same length, the same 4 ga. wire, clamps with teeth on all 3 sides, even jaw ends, a side terminal connection in the jaws, and they came with a hard plastic storage case, safety glasses and gloves. After shopping around for a week I found this is a great deal. I shopped all over the Net and in my local stores comparing prices wire length, size, and end clamps. There are many great items for great prices at Amazon but if you need what I need in a jumper cable go to your local SEARS.
Nice Heavy Duty Jumper Cables Feb 13, 2010
Normally you don't need jumper cables, but when you do you need a good set that are long. These are heavy duty, long and very durable. I bought these to go in my pickup truck.

Very well-built Jan 30, 2010
These jumper cables are quite big and heavy because of their gauge. That makes it a little difficult to keep your trunk organized. However, they are very durable and feel very well built. I don't think the cable will become detached from the clamps - they fastened pretty well.
