Review on πŸ”Œ TEMCo WC0034 - 5ft 1/0 Gauge AWG Welding Lead & Car Battery Cable - Red Copper Wire, Made in USA: High-Quality Welding and Car Battery Cable for Reliable Power Transfer by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

high quality, good price, very flexible!

High quality conductor material, 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! The insulation is (perhaps) very soft and pliable, feels great, but I'd hesitate to leave the cables exposed as it looks like they could rub easily in an automotive environment. I don't know what they really are, just more feelings. Since I also intended 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 make it more abrasion and heat resistant and then put 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 change Wiring through places that aren't that common and on the off chance that a workshop does work on my car, this 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!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
