Review on Spartan Power Welding Battery Excelene Tools & Equipment by Jeff Pettis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It seems like Royal Excellene has introduced the Great Value line.

This is the cheapest 1/0 oxygen free copper wire I could find. I knew it was smaller but needed this smaller size for a universal PDU/ground for a stereo project I'm working on. I wanted something that was a little thinner on the shell and preferably a little smaller in diameter than the oversized 1/0 car stereo I usually use. It's more like a 2 gauge but slightly larger. It's smaller than the size 55 1/0 filler wire I bought from Royal Excellene, but for this application... it's fine. Totally normal. I have no doubt it will still carry 350 amps 12v but it is a smaller diameter. Flexibility isn't too bad, but I'm sure the ends will get pretty stiff after the ferrules are crimped. Can't say much about this jacket but it cuts easily with a knife. For car stereos I would recommend some Techflex for aesthetics and a second protection from sharp edges. Be sure to use your grommets. Not bad for the price, but be aware that if you use it for more than just static/fixed installs, I'll probably go for something better. This is a good choice for installing a car stereo, but be aware that the reviews on it are far from positive. It's great for battery cables and solar panels, but for welding I'd probably choose something better.
