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.

Would you really trust 10AWG tho?

For jump starting a car yes 10awg will work but your absolutely correct larger awg such as a 4 would be better.

I use the good year one earlier this week. Somehow I left the keys in the on position over the weekend and it drained it.
Hooked the thin jumper cables and let it charge for about 10 mins. Started on first try. Only complaint was that it was short. I had to get my other car at the correct angle.

The 10 AWG is fine for emergency use, its the length that is more of an issue.

These deals always remind me that I need to get a better set of jumper cables, or make my own. Maybe one day one of those jump boxes will be big enough and cheap enough. Although I do wonder what the smallest one is that would jump my Duramax.

Everyone arguing about the gauge of cables, what about length!? I want to be able to jump someone while parked behind them. These cables are so short, I don't think you can jump start them if your batteries are on opposite sides and you're parked side by side, which is common in a driveway.

I bought some from Walmart and they're a decent price and long, under $30, I think close to $20ish. Jumper cables are dependable, you don't have to keep them charged, they don't take up much room. Get a set for your mom, whatever. The longer the cables, the thicker you want. You don't want them to heat up under heavy amp output. Trying to jump a battery that is too low will draw too much amperage. If it barely cranks, you need less amps than if it's dead, or if you're trying to jump a truck or my E-450 bus versus a civic.

I'm going to use Anderson connectors on jumper cables to plug in to my grill permanently and won't have to open the hood to jump start it.

with these cheap cables, you'll need to use 2 of them to jumpstart immediately.
Otherwise you'll just need to sit around and "let it charge" wasting expensive gas.

The plus side of having 2 sets is that if someone is parked face in down hill, you can just
connect the cables to each other so that they reach and then you can "let it charge".

I highly recommend getting a lithium jump box before buyign cables. you can jump start yourself anywhere, and others if needed. the one branded "cat" has worked pretty well for me and has an air inflater and usb ports on it too. I've also bought some almost el cheapo ones from kohls when i had a giftcard and they actually worked pretty well.. Also bought some of hte walmart clearance flashlight style jump boxes and it worked well too.. just remember to check them periodically.

Yes but wit extra length, gauge, quality etc....comes a much higher cost. No one is saying that heavy duty, long, thick wire size, etc cables are bad but you'll never find them at this price point. Having a 10ga 8' cable in your trunk in realty is better than having a 4ga 20' cable in your trunk in theory. That is the only point. Want to spend more...great. But if spending more means you won't....not great when you actually need something Wink

I've never seen someone double up jumper cables except when they don't have enough reach...have you? Bigfoot might also attack during this process so make sure they also have a sword attached to the cables to fight him off...gotta cover all the imaginary bases Wink

10 minutes of gas at idle, 50 cents worst case? Most cars use less than 1/2 a gallon per hour at idle, a big truck maybe an entire gallon. $3.50 a gallon @ 15% of a hour @ 1 gallon fuel per hour would = $0.525 fuel per jump. It would take you 40-60 jumps, each at a 10 minute idol to offset the fuel you'd hypothetically expend. But if you were jumping that many people, even a $40 set of cables would be chintzy.

Yes i've used double cables. that's why i said it. it works. Over my life time i have jumped hundreds of vehicles.. jumpstarting a car is a waste of gas unless your vehicle has to be running anway. I wouldn't throw away a quarter if it was in my pocket so why would i do it in gas, when it's better for me to have a jump box with me at all tiimes anyway?

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.

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

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.

The mantra of the person who drives around with "nothing at all." (The story about the guy riding the bus applies here too)

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.
You are correct that wire gauge won't affect current draw but it will most certainly affect voltage drop and overall power throughput. Idly charging a battery via small gauge wire might be fine because the battery will only draw a few amps but when actively jump starting a vehicle the power consumption increases considerably. At higher amperage the resistance of the wire becomes much more significant.

Of course it will work, just never seen it done in my life (except when length was an issue).

Agreed, a portable jump starter is 1000x better than a set of 'quality' cables. That is part of my point. Why would you upgrade to a heavy duty set of cables when you can just bypass cables all together with and upgrade beyond that? The "how much is blah blah worth" people always draw a line in the sand above their purchase price yet criticize when someone draws the line below it.

no way 10awg can jump start any truck or suv. it might be good for a small compact car

And again, 'just spend more' on a jumpstarter that works better every time and works without a donor source of power. Mine also has a compressor on it...does that make it "exponentially more useful" than your $30 cables? I bought my jump starter for about $40.

Why not just 'spend a little bit more' on a jump starter battery? Odd to draw the line in the sand at a set of cables.
While true, don't forget that jump starter batteries do die over time as well. The lithium ion ones bulge especially when left in the heat of a summer car, the lead acid ones die after 3-4 years since you'll inevitably forget to charge it to keep it from self-discharging itself flat.

Plus, if your in the winter, batteries do not like low temperatures. Plenty of these jump starter batteries fail cranking until you "warm them up" as seen on project farm's video where he tests them here https://youtu.be/JN8A2nIMUWA. Good luck warming them up when your engine won't start and you're stranded.


Bottom line, while portable jumpers are handy, they do have a lifespan as well. It might not work when you need it do 2-3 years down the line...All the ones I've tried out failed when I tried jumping other people in parking lots or on the road after 2-3 years, but that's just anecdotal experience. YMMV.
