Booster Jumper Cables Reviews

These are the second best selling jumper cables - 20ft long, good strong alligator clamps and will work on just about any vehicle. The coil up easily enough - supposing that you prefer order to what amounts to a snake-pit in your trunk, and the 4 gauge copper wiring boosts depleted batteries in a snap.

Of course it's always worth pointing out that when you're in an emergency and can't get going that you use a like for like sized battery/vehicle - never try using something smaller than you drive - the opposing battery may suffer, plus you might find it's not powerful enough to boost yours. That said - great pair of cable, long enough for most auto-to-auto boost, sturdy, well made and cheap enough at less than 20 bucks.

Another top selling set of booster cables - this time from Schumacher. We like Schumacher, they manufacture some good quality, reasonably priced automotive products and these are no different.

They're a decent enough length at 16 feet, strong alligator clamps, polarity clearly marked for those that are first timers to jump starting a car and they'll work fine with either side or top mounted batteries. Also included in the price is a handy carry case - which makes the trunk storage a lot neater. Good set, do the job - great for those unexpected emergencies.

This pair of auto jumper cables are a step up from previous models - focusing on additional safety features. Fixed centrally along the cable's line is a surge protection unit. This is used primarily as a means of prevent potential damage to the cars electrical and computer driven components.

The central unit also contains an LED that lets you know whether or not the connection is a true one - great for those that are unsure about jump starting. They're also an 8 gauge copper wired set - superior quality all round. Nice tight fit with the clamps, 12 foot in length (only downside so make sure you park up close)  and do the job they were designed for.

Last of the list of the best jumper cables are the Hopkins set - 16 foot long, 6 gauge wiring and design for larger vehicles. They're about long enough - though the bigger the vehicle the more length you'll end up needing between connections, and there's a decent quality cable bag included in the price. 

The The alligator clips on this pair are pretty impressive - the clamping jaw mechanism works a little different and you sure can feel the strength when they bite down. Glow in the dark polarity indicator, quality manufacture and do the job - and the price is nice too.
