Product review- Snap-on Jumper Cables

A while back, the family needed a jump start, and I could not find my Sears heavy jumper cables that I bought oh let's see 30 yrs ago. They were pretty cracked and repaired and long in the tooth anyhow.

Dashed to epay and found a set of Snap-On cables for about $60 delivered [used].

GREAT ITEM, as you expect with snap-on. This morning the truck battery was dead for no apparent reason. Pulled battery from the '85 442 and brought near the truck, used the Snap-on cables and had instant joy.

Nice clamps, proper heavy wire, good strain relief at the clamps...

A proper set of cables, highly recommended for those of us who do more than 2 or 3 jump starts a year.

But are they flexible in below-zero wheather?
We'll have to wait until next winter to find out, eh?

Over the past 40+ years of driving and jumping stuff, the best set of jumper cables are the ones that are handy when needed.
