Never seen jumper cables where the black and red leads were distinct wires, but I can see where that saves on money without impacting functionality, at the expense of ease of storage.

13' is on the shorter side, but 0 gauge solid copper is very good for year round use in colder climates or with larger 8+ cylinder engines. I'm actually amazed they can even buy the copper for $26.

The 13' 0-gauge jumpers are 3.62 lbs item weight. Copper is $4.47 per pound. Take off the plastic clamps and insulation and you probably have about 3 lbs of copper, so really just about $13.50 worth of copper on them.

Good to see some proper heavy quality gauge jumper cables instead of the crap that comes with emergency kits. Reviews seem suspect tho.

looks like more Chinese crap on Amazon... sure the PVC cladding is garbage, sure the clamp springs are garbage, sure the plastic clamps are garbage, sure the actual teeth are garbage too.

Go to your local Home Depot and price out 0 gauge copper wire then get back to me. I guess I didn't think I needed to be fully explicit by indicating I meant the copper in wire form.

Reviews look pretty worrying for these. The only positive ones are very vague and from generic looking accounts.

If they are really 0AWG and copper that is an amazing deal just for the cabling. I note that they don't say AWG though, so some room for fudgery. It's Amazon though, so I'll roll the dice.

They also fugged up their video. Where they show copper clad aluminum it says 11ohm and pure copper is 50ohms. It should be the other way around.

Everybody skip this garbage. It's not a deal unless you want to be disappointed.

They look to be copper but the insulation is 3/4 the diameter of the wire. Looks like less metal than my 8 gauge cables.
