 Mostly good, but beware in emergency situations Oct 21, 2010
By BDoyle282
I bought these because it was a good price on a reasonably heavy gauge set of jumper cables. And if you've ever seen somebody screw up connecting two cars- or the results- you understand how much damage it can do. Plus I needed a new set of cables and these were available.
Unfortunately foolproof makes them unusable sometimes. If the receiving vehicle/battery is completely dead the cables can't register polarity and will not charge the dead car. Only one LED light will show connection (on the running vehicle) and the other will not- no juice = no charge. You'll need to use standard jumper cables to get enough energy in the dead battery to produce enough polarity for these to register.
Also the cables are a nice heavy gauge but the clamps have really poor surface area so I don't think there's much gain in the flow of electricity. Takes time to charge a battery enough for a jump and there doesn't seem to be enough juice through the cables to jump directly without first charging the battery.
Otherwise extremely handy. Really convenient if you're trying to charge in the dark. I leave these in my truck that I loan out to friends- never have to worry about them accidentally messing up!

 JUMPER CABLES FOR DUMMIES Apr 06, 2010
By J. Paduano
"car guy"
Great fool proof cables. Doesn't matter if pos. or neg. cable is attached to the wrong battery post.Keeps the possibility of getting burns from sparks from occuring. Always makes it certain that you get it correct each time. Heavy duty construction, yet light weight.

smart cable Feb 03, 2010
By Rebecca Hughes
I have this product and it works wonder. I do not have to worry about what end goes where.The lights let you know if the unit is hooked up correctly and if the unit will be able to take a charge. This would make a great gift.

 Nice cables but could be a little longer Jun 13, 2010
By C. Atkins
These cables work perfectly. I love the fact that you don't have to pay attention if you have the right clamp on positive or negative. I also like the green light that shows you have a good connection. The only minor problem I have is that the cables could be a little longer.

They really work Oct 02, 2010
By David Hanthorn
Just got these today (Oct. 1, 2010), and had cause to put them to use immediately. They worked perfectly, just as advertised. No need to worry about polarity issues, no sparking, just quick and easy and problem free. Highly recommended.
