These are not advertised as light duty, but when I got them that's what they are. But hey, I drive a Corolla, they work fine. My manly side wanted some flippin' awesome heavy duty cables, but it's okay.

Apparentely I didn't read the first guy's review before I purchased these cables because the same thing happened to me. I think I actually saw where it said "heavy duty copper plated steel clamps" and was just thinking heavy duty everything. So although I falsely assumed, it was somewhat misleading at the same time. It's not exactly what I was wanting, but I'm not unhappy enough to return them; I didn't pay a lot for them. Read the reviews and carefully read the fine print!!! Know what you're looking for; all specifications!!!

I read the other reviews when I purchased these, and decided that I didn't need hardcore heavy duty cables for my little Protege. When my battery died, they fired up my car on the first try.

Two weeks later we tried to jump a V8 jeep with these cables and it took about ten minutes of letting the cars sit together before the jeep would start. I don't know the exact physics of this (whether it was the cable or the battery), but when the jeep died again we had better luck with a more intense set of cables.

Since the jeep isn't mine, I'm quite happy with this purchase. They're cheap and they'll get my car started in emergencies.

Got the job done.

After leaving my lights on at work, I had to ask around until I found somebody who had cables in their trunk. I immediately went to amazon and picked up a set of jumper cables to keep in my trunk.

These are no frills cables--the cable is decent and the clamps are smallish, but for most cars, these cables will be sufficient.

Jumper cables should be in every person's emergency kit.

Bought sets for everyones car!~ Then I bought the boss bag to keep them in. You never need jumper cables if they're in your car!~

These battery cables are a great value! Some reviews criticized them for being so light but that is exactly what the description says..."light duty". For those applications these are certainly lighter and more flexible than the much heavier gauge would be and when you don't need the heavy ones why subject yourself to the hassle? They are well made and because the two wires are molded together you don't have the tangle problem that you have with separate cables. I actually bought them because I needed a 10 foot heavy 12volt cable to connect a power winch and these were much cheaper than buying bulk wire!

It was much lighter and cheaper than I expected, but it has done its job several times now. I don't expect it to last forever, but I needed one in a pinch and this works just fine.

Product is great, arrived in nice packing and brand new condition. Useful and i would recommend this product to my friend.

I haven't used this yet, but it looks like a nice, inexpensive, lightweight set of jumper cables. These will live inside the spare tire in the back of my car, for emergency use only. It's exactly what I wanted.
