I got these jumper cables and they fit perfectly onto my nipples. I walked around my house all night, and they didn't even slip off. They're very comfortable to sleep in as well. Highly recommended!

I've bought at least two booster cables in my lifetime and this is one that is long enough for most situations for my old car.

Heavy duty jumper cables. 20 foot cables take up a bit more space, but sure is nice when you cannot get right next to the car that needs a jump. 4 gauge is great for this length. This is good guality cable that stays flexible below freezing. br / br /I bought these for my young daughter who lives in the city. People are amazed that she knows how to jump a car. It is becoming a lost art and new vehicles can suffer damage from a jump. br / br /Anyway if you want serious cables for a fair price these will work for you.

I purchased these cables based solely on internet research. Coleman seems to be a well respected company. After inspecting the 08660 twenty foot long four gauge cables, I am satisfied with my purchase. The materials appear to be of good quality, and the clamp design is intuitive. There is a top of page review dated September 14th 2006 by Privacy Advocate titled "Slight disappointment" in which he describes his concern about the clamps having only one side of the jaw plated with copper. This actually is an intelligent design. The copper cable is connected to only one jaw (the jaw that is copper plated for increased conductivity). Copper plating the non-connected jaw would be counter productive. I recommend purchasing a minimum length of twenty feet, a minimum of four gauge cable, and clamps rated a minimum of 500 amps. The length is recommended because you may not always be able to place a boost vehicle nose to nose or side by side. The gauge and amps are particularly important if you live in a cold climate. Check the vehicle OEM battery specifications regarding cold cranking amps (CCA) for a clear understanding of why gauge and amps are important.

The weakest link in any booster cable is the clamps. If the connection from clamp to terminal is even slightly weak then the amperage is critically limited (even 1 ohm is too much at 12 volts). I chose these because of their fairly heavy gauge to maintain amperage despite their length, but (and you can't tell from the listing) the clamps are not as impressive as I would like -- they are the sort where there is copper on only one side of the jaws and I would prefer both. Most of us have had the experience of working clamps into corroded terminals to try to get just a bit more power. I haven't used these cables yet but assume confidently they will work fine. The cables are fairly flexible and appear sturdy and well-insulated. Don't skimp on cables, you get what you pay for, and I think these are merely a fair deal in light of their much higher price.
