From the Manufacturer
Road Power's extra heavy-duty booster cables feature Polar-Glo clamps and T-Prene jacket insulation. This enhanced line of booster cables ensures the highest levels of user-safety and assures dependability in the most extreme climate conditions. The Polar-Glo clamp is ergonomically-designed so that it can be easily handled by everyone and it attaches itself firmly to both top and side post batteries. The clamps triple-polarity identification includes color-coding, indent stamping, and glow-in-the-dark labels. In addition, all energized clamp surfaces are shielded to avoid short circuits and all conductive clamp surfaces are recessed to prevent accidental contact. T-Prene insulation was chosen for the wire jacketing material because it remains flexible even under the severest temperatures and is oil, chemical, and water resistant. Extra heavy-duty booster cables are made using 4-gauge wire and performs best with any vehicle including cars, trucks, or SUVs. This line of booster cables is UL Listed and made in America.

Customer Reviews

Might as well get the long ones....
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).

Coleman Jumper Cable Review
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.

Quality cables
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.
