Roadster NEW HEAVY DUTY 800AMP CAR VAN JUMP LEADS 4 METRE LONG BOOSTER CABLES START

These cables look to be "THE BUSINESS"! Lovely, heavy cables, well insulated, and, very importantly, nice and long. As another reviewer has pointed out, the very generous length of these cables permits connection between two vehicles, with a space between each, so the driver of the car with the dead battery can actually climb in from the driver's side to start his/her car! - even when the two vehicle batteries are on the furthest sides - not so with inferior, short cables.The springs in the clamps are immensely strong, quite shockingly so. The average woman (or weedy man!) would need the strength of both hands to open them!From an engineering point of view, I'm extremely impressed that one end of each of the clamp springs is utilised to press onto the insulated cable, to force it against the inside of the handle of each clamp. This acts as a very powerful and effective strain-relief, to help to prevent the cables being pulled out of their internal clamp crimpings (which I had happen with my former jump leads, which these replace).This is one heck of a product, and I can see no reason why these jump leads would fail to work. Haven't needed to use them yet, fortunately, but I have total confidence in them. A rating of 800A would seem to be more than adequate, though I'm not an electrician.

You never know when you'll need jump leads,for yourself or some friend or neighbour......I went to a well known motors spares company who wanted over £35 for a similar item.These are great for less than half the price and strong clamps and long thick cables.Started up my neighbours 2 litre diesel van with ease......the bag isn't much good,(it split after a short while) but a carrier bag does the job just as well.

I'm sorry. Its dumb question time.I always thought that to use these you clip the crocodile clips (positive) (red) to the car helping you, then the black to black while engine is running anf broken down car turned off.Now what worries me - is that if there is a charge running from live battery through the wires, then should I really be touching metal crocodile clips? :(Maybe both engines should be switched off before connecting? I'm clueless.Can anyone advise me? I'm a bit scared to use in case I get a shock. I've only ever used plastic connector clips.Incidentally- these are very strong indeed. Well worth the few extra pounds paid.Npw if anyone can answer my questions, I'll be a happy bunny. :)

These jump leads are great value for money,long enough to connect when the batteries are on the opposite sides to each other, good grip on the terminals but not too hard to open the crocodiles,and they come in a bag to keep them stored and clean.

ExcellentHad jump leads in the past but none as good as thesesRobust heavyduty well worth the moneyYes there are cheaper ones but these are well worth itDay after I purchased them I jumped a Transit custom from my Sprinter and no clips jumping offNo burning or meltingA must have for any motorist

From personal experience bought extra long cables and what a good job. Battery died on me in busy city-centre street, fortunately vehicle behind was kind enough to pull alongside and give me a "jump", easy instructions so managed to get the clips correctly fitted and first time my automatic car fired-up, took all of 4 minutes from start to finish, they paid for themselves with just this one use. If you have an automatic, worth the investment.

These are very solid, robust and best of all...long! Their length makes them so useful - you don't have to get the cars literally right up against each other and often with a lot of smaller leads you can't put the cars side to side. With these you can and you can also put the cars facing the same way with enough distance apart to get out of the driver side which on some occasions like on a driveway is the easiest way to do the jumpstart. Otherwise you have to roll one car slightly back and reverse the other car in etc. No need for any of that.

I like the fact that they come in their own storage bag so are easy to leave in the boot of the car.Good length so no need to move cars around to charge and also seem very sturdy.
