| I’m planning on making a set of jumper cables with one-aught (1/0) welding cable—and since what I know about welding cable you could put in your eye, I’m wondering what to look for in the product: the type of outer jacket (neoprene, EPDM?), the type of cable/jacket separator, the construction of the cable itself.
I find that I can buy cable on line at a substantial discount over the local supplier —even with shipping. Yet I’m not sure of which vendor to go with. Has anyone any experience with welding cable—or with homemade jumper cables—that I could use? |

| You may find that just buying a set actually costs less. |

| Thanks so much for your response. Likely, I could buy a substantial set for less than I have now in the clamps alone: $57+. But . . . in for a penny, in for a pound. And for personal reasons I want to have the best cables money can buy. Many thanks, again, for your interest. |
