very bare bones but fully functional jumper cables to throw in the trunk of your car. lacks the fancy safety heavy coverings on the grips you will find in much higher priced versions. if you know what you are doing and understand the protocol for safely jump starting a vehicle, don't spend the extra money on a heavier set, this set will serve you just fine.

The Coleman jumper cables are great - good quality material. Five stars.

I'm posting this review specifically to remind other potential buyers to review the "Cable Type Selection Guide" (which is featured in one of the product photos). Don't make a dumb mistake like me and buy 8-gauge cables for your full size pickup truck. I am giving these 8-gauge cables to my wife for her sedan and buying Coleman 4-gauge for my vehicle...

It is made by Coleman. They are a major cable manufacturer. It does the job too. I am happy with my selection and I do recommend it to others.

For the price of this product, you can't go wrong if you need to jump start your car in a hurry or emergency. My car battery dies often and in the last 3 weeks we've had to jump it 4 times. This does the job. The cable is a little short so you just need to make sure the cars can be relatively close together.

I ordered these for emergency purposes in my 3rd car. The cable is fine, but the clamps on each end are flimsy and I am not sure how well they will clamp to a side terminal battery, if at all. Since my Toyota used top terminals I decided to keep them and hope if I ever need a jump, they will also have top terminals available. Checked Walmart website after buying and they have similarly priced items, so consider looking at brick and mortar before purchasing these "name brand" cables.

So far they seem of good quality and they worked well when my car needed to be jumped!

Both of our cars were sorely lacking jumper cables, so I purchased two sets of these. Thankfully, I've only had to use my set just once since purchase and it worked perfectly. I love the pack they come in so they stay neat in the trunk. If you need cables, this is a great choice.

Long enough to do the job, thick enough to release the charge, and I like the yellow color.

It is nice to have cables that are long enough that you don't have to have both cars on top of each other to use them. Decent quality.

im not the type to criticize people things that they put hard work into,but consumers should get valve for their money,this cable look good ,work good,but the red clamp just fell off ,when i examine it the connection just barely hitch on,this after 3 uses i tried to fix it but it were hard because the clip to hold down the cable to the clamp dont have any sturdy clip to hold it,to make it work i have to use a hammer to flattten a loop that the cable go thru to have any use but it seem it wont last very long,to the people who sell this look what u r sending to consumers properly.i paid $20 to ship it.
