Recommendations: Looking for a set of 25'/30' decent jumper cables

[Sawyer Rob]

Years ago I bought some expensive HEAVY welding cable, (not some china junk) Anyway, I made up cables to put a couple batteries under a pu, also a set of jumper cables and all I can say is, the outer cover on the cables is now full of cracks and I'm NOT happy with how they have held up.

I'd not ever make a long set out of welding cable to go under a truck again, too much of a fire hazard for me.

Years ago I had a service trailer with a winch. I made 2g 600 strand premium welding cables that went to the rear bumper using an SB50 connector to the trailer. Worked very good for a long time.

I've had welding cable under my truck for many years with no problems. Just be sure to keep away from hot or moving parts and sharp edges. Use a circuit breaker at the battery just in case.
