The items in the picture are not the actual item. That seems to be $60. The $10 deal only has a few things.

This looks like a bunch of play toys. Spend a few more bucks and get quality items for emergencies. And if you do get a kit, get one with a reflector or flare so you can put behind your car in the dark. Also a window breaker is another good item to look for in kits or buy separately.

I would also suggest to keep a roll of duck tape in your car

I was given one of these by my parents a couple decades ago and when I moved homes again I finally cracked it open and looked through it and what a blast from the past. You'll probably never use anything but maybe the jumper cables. I guess it's pretty cheap though if you have trunk space to spare.

The Roadside that comes with this is a fiasco.

Quote from big mike :
While 10 ga isn't going to start a car with a stone dead battery it may be able to with some patience get a battery up to a point where the battery plus cable current can start it. Which is not great, but honestly by the same rate most modern cars don't work worth squat without a halfway working battery anyway because they're so electrically sensitive. So I'm torn. Jumper cables this size are kind of a joke, but they do work in some situations and probably if they don't you may not have much better luck with "good" cables due to the lack of battery "help" to keep your charge voltage high enough.
Actually these are good when people approach you in a parking lot asking for a jump. You can honestly say "Sorry. My Jumpers are too short to reach your battery AND they're too thin to jump it even if it could." Smilie

A link to said "few more buck" set would be great. If you don't reply back with the info, we'll all take that is a retraction of your statement.
Quote from Nut4speed :
Unless you battery is just barely too low to get your starter to engage, 10awg is too small to get enough current through to jumpstart anything but the smallest engines.
Not true at all, current does not care about wire size. Wire length does add resistance BUT at these distances (feet) you are talking numbers almost too small to measure.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu....irega.html note: these resistance numbers are at 1,000 feet.

And most 'dead' batteries are the case of a slightly low voltage battery, not a dead as a doornail battery. And if so, let the good battery charge the bad battery for a few minutes. Amazing how understanding the process solves the problem Wink
Quote from Giantcrazy :
I love it when people buy things 'in case of emergency' and somehow don't consider the possibility that they're such poor quality they'll never be of any use.
Which of the items in this set would not work for the intended use? LOL...

I love when people talk about the great things they PLAN to buy LATER when talking junk about the actual things other people OWN currently Wink

Reminds me of this guy I used to know. All he'd talk about was cars, trash every car he saw, Hondas are junk, Fords break down, Chevys are a waste of money, your car sucks, his car is crap, etc....dude rode the bus and not by choice. And a decade later? Still does. The irony.

If you can afford to buy better, do it. If your needs demand something better, don't skimp. But if you are like 99% of people buying this kit. Having it is far superior to not having it. Works out much better than realizing you let your AAA membership expire in 2013.

I would not get anything less than 6 gauge for jump starting purposes.

Unless you're okay waiting a while to slowly charge up the dead battery until it can provide enough juice to start up.

Thanks for the semantics lesson. Trying to explain the issue in layman's terms as many people buying this kit likely aren't fluent in electrical terminology.
10awg is next to useless in most scenarios like this.
Fun story. Tried to help someone who had thin jumper cables (probably 10awg like these, didn't note the exact size). Their 1.5L Ford Fusion would not jump, even after being hooked up to my vehicle with an HD alternator and fresh battery for 10mins and still no dice on getting it to fire up.
Finally put their fisher price cables away and got my 4awg cables out. It started immediately. Sure their battery ended up being toast, but it got their car fired up and running off their alternator so they could run to the part store to get a new battery.
Most of the time cheap tools are just fine for the average user. Cheap jumper cables aren't.

Depends on what you consider an emergency. For me it's being able to get out of the car if there's active danger there like fire/water - seatbelt cutter and glass breaker. And to be visible in case of a breakdown - flare, reflector triangle, or high visibility vest. Also something to charge your phone.

Air pump, jumper cables, bandaids lol are all secondary to me.
From 30 seconds on google, I'm sure I could find more.

The 10 AWG wire alone might be worth $10. Would make good audio/speaker/hookup wire. Anyone know if it is copper?

I love antidotal stories which contradict how electricity is transferred. More than likely you had a poor connection on the clamps...

Question, have you seen the gauge size on the wire connecting to the battery? You need #4 wire for jumper cables but the battery is connected to the engine via #6-8 (or thinner)? Wonder how that works *wink wink*

"In layman's terms" (not how that is used either) I've jump started a F350 using a tiny warehouse forklift connected to the truck via a #10 electrical "whip" for an air conditioner Wink

I remember this deal was posted atleast a year back and is supposed to have a free 1-year Roadside Assistance.

Has anyone who bought this last time used the roadside assistance or is the whole thing a scam?
lol! You break down, you pay for someone else for the assiatcne.
Then you submit dated, photocopied identical copies to some fly by night company.
then they re imburse about $60. think 3 months or more to hear back from them. maybe.----- All the previous as i checked into it once about 4 years ago.

No one was talking about any of those things. Wow....

I bet you've jumpstarted more batteries in your life compared to the number of times you've cut yourself free from a seat belt while your car was on fire. Parachutes are great...when you are jumping out of a plane but might not be suited for a first aid kit. Catch my drift?
Not sure what the point of that was. A jumper cable of the same gauge as this one...for 3 times the price? Oh, includes latex gloves, some wet wipes, and road flares? Road flares are important but hardly worth the extra $20 when you can get them far cheaper.
