Review on πŸ”Œ TEMCo WC0050-10' High-Quality Welding Cable - Reliable Performance for Industrial Applications by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

high quality, good price, very flexible!

The conductor material is high quality, low price and if you need a flexible/manoeuvrable cable, this type of welding cable is for you. How flexible is it? Well, about 15ft 2ha, both red/black, were coiled like coil springs, they were no wider than my arm in diameter and about 9 inches tall! Again, this was for a red/black combo, allowing 2.2 AWG 15" wire to be wrapped into a ring less than 6" in diameter! If you need something more flexible then I don't even want to know what you are trying to do πŸ˜‚ As many battery cables you probably buy, there are no twists and turns you can come across that you can't get through! I'll probably make some of these this winter as my old cables have always been a hassle to store clean and they don't have the capacity that this cable has! be (maybe) the insulation is very soft and pliable, feels great, but I would hesitate to leave the cables bare as it looks like they could rub easily in an automotive environment. I don't know what they really are, just a feeling. Since I also wanted to use it close to the engine, I also had in mind a slightly lower thermal capacity than the SGX battery cable. that shouldn't be a problem most of the time, I'm just always up for the worst of thoughts. So I sleeved the cable in an Insultherm braid to give it more abrasion resistance and thermal protection, and then layered a red stretch braid over it to add a bit of visual appeal and also to draw attention to its position when I'm doing the route changed. Running cables through places that aren't as common and on the off chance a workshop is doing work on my car should help prevent accidental damage as it's hard to see. it is necessary?. no, probably not, but i like to do things meticulously in a compulsive way, the added protection is peace of mind, and i look great too!
