 A little concerned with no strain-relief for the copper cables December 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just received these cables, and they look fine, except there is no strain-relief for the copper cable at each clamp. The copper wire appears soldered to the clamps, but further back the insulation passes through some eyelets, but the eyelets are not crimped down to provide strain relief. What this means is, strain (bending) of the copper cable will cause fatigue and the copper wire strands will break.
For example, take a paper clip or other metal and keep bending it - it will eventually fatigue and break.
I considered using pliers to crimp the eyelets, but I'm not sure that wouldn't void any warranty for the product.
But, considering how often jumper cables are used for most people, it should be ok. Just be aware, if these get frequent use, they could fail when most needed.
 my favorite jumper cable October 15, 2008
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.
Coleman Cable Systems - 16 ft - 4 gauge July 5, 2008

I bought these and brought them to Colombia, S.A. because the cables here are not well made. Anyway, though I have not had the unfortunate opportunity to use them - they at least appear to be high quality.
I am very particular when it comes to purchasing things - and after doing my homework, I decided that the Coleman brand was reputable and could provide the quality I desired.
Well, the cables and clamps are well made - and I don't think that the clamps will let go of anything - kind of like alligator teeth.
So, if you are looking for a set of "jumper cables" - perhaps you might consider Coleman Cable Systems. Now, I just need the opportunity to use these things.
Coleman Jumper Cable Review June 23, 2000

This 16 ft. Coleman jumper cable is a 4 gauge cable which is a mechanic's grade. It is durable and will last a long time. The length ensures that you will be able to utilize this tool without worry, the clamps glow in the dark and fit both side post and top post batteries. It comes with a lifetime warranty and I am very glad that I bought it.
