These jumper cables use 2 AWG, 100% copper welding wire. They have good clamps, attached professionally to the wire, and they provide very low resistance to current (amperage) flow. They will definitely get your truck started. That said, they are quite bulky. The two wires are separate. e.g. the two wires do not have conjoined insulation with the choice for the customer to split the cables at the two ends. These are split the whole way out of the box. That’s fine, but is two cables to handle and potentially untangle. I think I will zip tie the two cables together to get the two-as-one style that most lower quality cables provide, for less tangling. The 100% copper wire used in these much better than the cheaper CCA (copper clad aluminum) wire found most cheaper offerings. Competing cheaper cables are made with CCA, , e.g. aluminum wire with a micro-thin coating of copper on the outside of strand in the calbe.) They look like copper wire, but if you look at the ends, you can see the shiny silver aluminum color surrounded by copper on each strand. CCA cables simply do not work anywhere near as well.) These cables are all copper 100% #2AWG thickness welding wire. The #2 AWG wire, almost as think as they come; there are 0/1 AWG wire based cables that are thicker, but in all copper cables, only tow trucks tend to carry them. The #2 thickness is plenty thick for 25 ft.) With 25ft. cables, you can get a jump from a vehicle behind your large SUV or truck, and with #2AWG copper cabling and good clamps, the jumper cables will actually work. Unfortunately, the welding wires is expensive, and so are these jumper cables.

These cables are heavy. Made from welding cable, they are heavy duty and durable. Clamps are strong and should hold very well onto battery terminals. These cables are heavy which would indicate that they are made from pure copper (pure copper wire is much heavier that copper covered aluminum wire). Still need to run a few tests, but so far, I’m happy. Note: coppered covered aluminum (CCA) cables are not necessarily bad. For the same gauge as pure copper, CCA will have a lower current rating. So to get the same performance from aluminum, you need a larger gauge cable. I use CCA cables in my wife’s Toyota which has a 4 cylinder engine. For my Range Rover, I will use these Forney cables.

I see some people complaining about the price but these cables are solid as can be and im happy with them. You want cheap then buy cheap you want made to get the job done and more then you DON’T whine about price. I’ve jumped 3 semi trucks so far with no problems and even had to jump my own truck and that alone makes it worth the price. Cause having someone come out to jump the truck would have been more than the $200 I paid for these cables.

Exactly what I needed. For years I borrowed a friend’s cables when I needed to jump a tractor. Finally broke down and got a good set of my own. They are flexible and long enough to reach the invariably inconvenient location a farm tractor is likely to be when it needs jump starting. As another reviewer said, use some cable ties to connect the cables if it bothers you that they are two independent wires. Great, sturdy clamps that I’m sure will hold up for many years of use. Don’t let the price scare you. You are getting what you pay for, a quality item.

These are the serious jumper cables. How many times have you seen cables split from their insulation in the cold? These wont.
Separate cables, Parrot clamps, pure copper. These are Boss mode.

My friend has an old 90’s Buick Century. It succumbed to week-long sub-zero temperatures of the Wisconsin winter and refused to start. I was at his house helping him fix a piece of trim that came loose due to ice buildup, and somehow we ended up trying to get the car started. He tried using whatever jumper cables he had .. guessing ~8-10 gauge CCA cables. Good connection, but the car would barely turnover then fall back to clicks.
So I say to him: “I have basically the toughest cables known to man, wanna try ‘em?”
First try, no hesitation, car started.
My friend is now shopping for jumper cables.
My story is less than glamorous, no massive diesel, etc, but it’s the first time I used the cables and they came through. I’m a huge believer in jumper cables that can handle anything, anywhere. You never know when you’ll need a jump or who else will. You never know if you’ll have access to the front of the vehicle. These are up to the task so far.
Some technical observations:
– Comes as two separate single conductors, one for positive, one for negative.
– These are flexible and easy to manage compared to other large-gauge cables I’ve owned.
– They are heavy.
– I got the bucket boss cable bag and it works nicely with these.
– Made in USA. You already know that about this product, but it’s sad that in so many cases this simple piece of information is hard to find. I like the fact that the (substantial) cost of these cables goes back into the US economy.

I would never have considered paying this much for a pair of jump leads until my cheapo ones let me down. Vowing never again to be in that situation I looked for the best regardless of price, and in these, I think I found them. I’ll echo some other reviews that mentioned replacing the self tapping screws with a nut and bolt. I did the same swap out, although it’s probably overkill. It feels super nerdy getting excited by jump leads, but I have to admit that I feel rather smug knowing that I have the best.

Long length and heavy gauge wire worked like a dream helping someone out.
