People forget or don't know we used to have straight aluminum wiring in the 70s. It worked fine except for idiots incorrectly terminating/splicing with copper.
Copper clad is an issue on high gauge signal wires over distance. Low voltage at reasonable amps on low gauge doesn't give a shit.

Ok here's my attempt to help justify BOTH!
Click, click battery seems newish. Yes cold out but still. Yes car is 10yrs old but was fine? Jump pack doesn't help....might be a ground wire. Use the jumper cables to quickly go from battery to good ground...it starts. Yeah, not sure I'm convinced to buy yet.
Now still need to find the bad ground under car or near starter etc..but the long jumper cables helps you figure this out quickly.
PS, old car owners giggle your keys turn until failing ignition switch catches. Also shift to neutral back etc and see if it starts.
Many the plastic parts wear and don't register car in park neutral, key contact in correct spot anymore. It will have to be fixed later but at least you can start and get home.
Mainly have one as my Prius is not supposed to be used to help jump start others.

Those battery jumpers have a long way to go before any and all are considered reliable as jumper cables.
edit:
and those multiple times I've offered to hemp people, I've been embarrassed I even tried the stupid battery pack.
jumper batteries are now in my book considered a big source of e-waste, and cheap ones being available in box stores, is accelerating that.
