Does not say gauge of jumper cables: RED FLAG..
Gauges go from 12 to 1. Lower the number the better.

At an old job, i directly sold hundreds of jumper cables.
i am guessing these are 12 or 10 gauge.----Very unreliable.
Jumper cables should be 8 or LOWER gauge... 6 is acceptable. 4 excellent.

Buy it? Sure but switch out the jumper cables for a lower gauge jumper cables when you can.

My hot take - there have been more than a few battery pack jumper boxes on here and I've gotta say those things are amazing. I like them way more than jumper cables now.

Used one a few times. They hold their charge and you don't need to get another person/car involved with cables.

If you're in a spot where you need to replace the battery completely, having a smaller set of tools is nice but I'd go for a kit with an inflater, and some reflectors.

This kit kind of looks like cheap crap imo.

still wait hours in a hot state it's just all about availability. I do get your point living in a winter state I keep an emergency bag in the car, granola bars, gatorade, packable jacket, hand warmers, toe warmers etc..

And I agree with you for 14 bucks get the kit, I am certain that these folks have bought a crappy lunch, a ohh that looks good but end up sucking. A shirt, a shoe, a haircut that you now dont wear etc... Hell a pack of AA batteries cost this much.

People "cheap out" on things that can be so vital (given the situation).

I bought either this same set, or a very similar one, 10 years ago. Based on my experience with it, I wouldn't recommend this. The jumper cables didn't last more than a few years - first the cable coating, then the cable itself, started to break near the ends, by the clips. The tire pressure gauge is a bad design - the white plastic gets dirty and stuck easily, making it hard to read the results. I'd recommend something digital instead, or one with a small dial if you wanna go electric free. The tools with the plastic handle were utter trash - the plastic breaks fairly easily under force. The tools that I've gotten from Dollar Tree in recent years have been more durable. I think the pliers and the sockets are the only things that have lasted from the kit.
This is all from average consumer use, with the tools mostly just stored in the trunk, in a hot & humid climate.

I don't know if it's easy to find something better for a similar price. But instead of buying this kit, I'd strongly suggest spending an extra $10-$20, and getting more reliable tools. From personal experience, it sucks being stuck somewhere, and having their cheap screwdriver break on you. I'm all for frugality, but this kit just isn't worth it. If you still want to avoid spending money, you could assemble most of this kit with better Dollar Tree items, for a similar cost. The jumper cables are likely the main thing that you can't get there, and that are going to cost more, but that's something you really shouldn't cheap out on anyways.

TBH, with a lot of modern cars, jumper cables aren't a great idea and you should use a battery powered jump pack. Not only better for your electrical system, but much easier to use, you don't need another car running, etc.

I agree with you on the jumper boxes, they are very handy and I got one for each vehicle. When it's not being used to jump start cars, I hook it up to my portable tire inflator that I keep in my trunk to top up my tires when needed.

This is a "feel good" item, won't help you much in an actual road side emergency.

Get :

good jumper cables (not these) or a jumper pack
road side markers / triangles / flares
flashlight
tow strap
tire patch kit or fix-a-flat cans
12v air pump
actual gloves
a basic tool kit is nice but only if you actually know how to fix some things on cars
a rain poncho
some candles and a lighter (if you live in a colder climate)
