    The price difference between decent ones and cheap ones is 20 bucks. Also with cheap 8 gauge cables if your batteries are real low it can take over an hour to get a charge up enough to crank the engine over fast enough to fire. Good luck finding someone to be willing to give away that much time on the elog. A set of 1 gauge cables will do it in 5 minutes.

    Also usually has poor clamps with poor connections between the clamp and the cable. You get what you pay for
