 Might as well get the long ones.... November 1, 2002

It never fails, that when you need a jump, you are parked nose-in the parking space. With 25 foot cables, you don't need to push the car out. Plus, it doesn't matter what side the battery is on. AMAZON.COM sells 12, 16, 20 and 25 foot lengths. Compare the prices, and the 25 foot is a good value for just a little extra money. Thick, heavy, 4 gauge wire provides quick starts (these things weigh about 15 pounds!). Each clamp has a glow in the dark polarity indicator on it. At first, this sounds like a solar powered flashlight, because the cables are stored in the dark trunk, but ten seconds in front of the booster car's headlights will charge them up. Cheap jumper cables are no bargin. Buy the best and be done with it. I can't wait until my next dead battery! (Well, almost).
Quality cables November 21, 2006

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.
Great Jumper cables from a name you can trust... June 14, 2000

I had one pair of these cables that I keep in the trunk of my car, and now I am getting a second pair for my second car. Solid construction, nice thick guage. Clamps are very secure and the no tangle feature is amazing. The fact that it is also secure on side post batteries is a major plus. This is a must have for the trunk of your car, however I recommend going with the longer cables. It's also a nice feature that they stay flexible to -94F for those of you in colder states/areas. These things will never let you down!! Coleman is a name you can trust in all sorts of products. I also recommend getting the jumper cable bag just in case they ever get dirty, you don't want the truck of your car getting dirty because of jumper cables. Very sturdy 4-guage wire provides all the amperage you need, you wont lose power through the cables length, you will always get a nice clean start using these cables, whether it be starting your car, or just charging your battery, they will not let you down. Handles are also nicely insulated to protect you from getting electrocuted from the battery terminals.

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.
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.
Anyway if you want serious cables for a fair price these will work for you.

i got this one back when my old car used to die on me all the time
when i finally got a new car i was almost upset that it always starts by itself thats how good this cable is
i also have another ( even more heavy duty 2 gauge ) coleman cable but that one is TOO heavy and clamps are too hard to compress. this 4 gauge one is ideal IMHO for a mid-size car. clamps operate smoothly, the cable itself is not too heavy or stiff and power transfer is good.
i had a cheap cable literally MELT on me once and wouldn't start the car because it was too thin. don't use cheap jumper cables - go for a nice solid one like this.
