very bare bones but fully functional jumper cables to throw in the trunk of your car. lacks the fancy safety heavy coverings on the grips you will find in much higher priced versions. if you know what you are doing and understand the protocol for safely jump starting a vehicle, don't spend the extra money on a heavier set, this set will serve you just fine.
I'm posting this review specifically to remind other potential buyers to review the "Cable Type Selection Guide" (which is featured in one of the product photos). Don't make a dumb mistake like me and buy 8-gauge cables for your full size pickup truck. I am giving these 8-gauge cables to my wife for her sedan and buying Coleman 4-gauge for my vehicle...

For the price of this product, you can't go wrong if you need to jump start your car in a hurry or emergency. My car battery dies often and in the last 3 weeks we've had to jump it 4 times. This does the job. The cable is a little short so you just need to make sure the cars can be relatively close together.this item was not the same item as picture there are no glow positive and negative tabs on clamps like it is pictured and the teeth on clamps are not the same as picture not so happyI ordered these for emergency purposes in my 3rd car. The cable is fine, but the clamps on each end are flimsy and I am not sure how well they will clamp to a side terminal battery, if at all. Since my Toyota used top terminals I decided to keep them and hope if I ever need a jump, they will also have top terminals available. Checked Walmart website after buying and they have similarly priced items, so consider looking at brick and mortar before purchasing these "name brand" cables.Save 53% Off
