Aluminum, not copper

A good tool that is always at hand. I have it handy to connect my inverter to any car or boat battery in an emergency. Plastic alligator clips are fairly strong, with copper jaws. However, only one of the jaws is connected to the wire. Bad design, for a good power connection you need a maximum contact area and they only left 50% of the available surface separated. I cut the wire to connect to the quick connector. It was actually 12 AWG as advertised. However, it is aluminum and not copper. Aluminum has a higher resistance than copper. So this 12 AWG aluminum wire is roughly equivalent to a 14 AWG copper wire.

Pros
  • Lighters and spare parts
Cons
  • No gun
