NO DURABILITY - Copper clad aluminum will not work in the automotive industry

I purchased this product 1 year ago. In 30 years of auto repair I have yet to come across a copper clad aluminum primary wire - nor did I notice the fine print at this point. I have a busy auto repair shop and do electronics repairs on a daily basis. About 8 months after the repair, I noticed "returns" with bad connections - the cable was rusting and either losing connection or completely detaching from the connectors. This happened with both soldier and crimp connections. I've found this to have happened on over 25 repairs to date - a garage's worst nightmare! Stay away from these products! Only use copper primary wire!

Pros
  • Copper clad stranded aluminum | PVC insulated | Rated 105 C, 6 to 80 volts
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
