ColemanRoad Power 86660104 16-Feet, 4-Gauge Heavy-Duty Booster Cable with Polar Glow Clamps Car Battery Jumper Cable

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.

I purchased these for jump starting our Yukon XL that we infrequently drive. We've had problems in the winter keeping the battery fully charged enough to turn over the engine. These cables are great because we can easily connect to the other vehicle without moving either one to get close enough for cable connection. They are long enough for the job and I love the 4 gauge wire - easily boosts the Yukon's battery without needing to sit connected for a long time - just long enough to start the boosting car, get out, walk over to the Yukon and start it! Despite being 4 gauge, they are very pliable and wind up nicely without kinking and twisting.Only negative is the clamps slip a little on the Yukon's battery terminal. But I think that has more to do with the location of the terminals on the side, rather than on the top.

I purchased this jumper cable set expecting it to last longer than a couple months. The cable worked fine in the beginning and it seemed "Heavy Duty". After couple uses, I noticed that the wires near the clamps began to snap off with it eventually breaking off completely. I would not recommend this product to anyone and I think that amazon should stop selling it immediately as it poses a definitely safety hazard.

Cable is good quality. Clamps are not that great. The crimp connection doesn't last. I had to re-crimp it twice. I finally bought a set of 2 gauge Deka cables.

I bought these and brought them to Colombia, S.A. because the cables here are not well made. Anyway, though I have not had the unfortunate opportunity to use them - they at least appear to be high quality.I am very particular when it comes to purchasing things - and after doing my homework, I decided that the Coleman brand was reputable and could provide the quality I desired.Well, the cables and clamps are well made - and I don't think that the clamps will let go of anything - kind of like alligator teeth.So, if you are looking for a set of "jumper cables" - perhaps you might consider Coleman Cable Systems. Now, I just need the opportunity to use these things.

These cables showed up in good condition and in their original box and they do seem well made just the cables themselves are no where near as heavy duty as I was lead to believe. They will remain in my truck and I am sure they will do what they are intenteded to do but really wouldn't consider them mechanic grade.

i got this one back when my old car used to die on me all the timewhen i finally got a new car i was almost upset that it always starts by itself thats how good this cable isi also have another ( even more heavy duty 2 gauge ) coleman cable but that one is TOO heavy and clamps are too hard to compress. this 4 gauge one is ideal IMHO for a mid-size car. clamps operate smoothly, the cable itself is not too heavy or stiff and power transfer is good.i had a cheap cable literally MELT on me once and wouldn't start the car because it was too thin. don't use cheap jumper cables - go for a nice solid one like this.

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.

The extra length is perfect for side by side boosting.Strong clamp with copper contacts. Soft cable, wont get stiff in winter. Quality product.

Not that impressed. Length is correct but lamps are copper coated on one side only and cables weigh less than my old 8' copper cables. The word Coleman is nowhere to be seen on the box. I use infrequently so will keep them but a good example of getting what you pay for!
