OD 4. 0mm. Copper, 1 mm square Wire made of soft nitrile. 1m(3ft).
No, the wire in these "test leads" isn't strong enough to carry the current required to start a car.
It's better if you make your own. Under 50 feet of distance, 30 amps necessitates 10 wire.

I jumpers a lot as an HVAC technician. These are among the most effective I've come across. Several other brands I've purchased have always had one or two bad ones in the pack. In three orders, I have yet to find a single bad one. They're big enough to temporarily jump some of the high-voltage stuff out, and the clips are sturdy enough to stay put even when you're working around them.
For the past 25 years, I've relied on the same set of Radio Shack alligator clip leads. They're fine, but the wires are super thin and they're all pretty short. I bought a pair of these last year for the same price as a pair of other brand's leads, and while I like them, I got five of these for the same price. These leads are very nice, with a highly flexible jacket and very nice clips. Speaking of the clips, I like how they're a little narrower at the tip, allowing them to fit into more places (the other leads I mentioned are completely squared off, which has caused issues in some cases). I have no way of knowing the wire gauge, but I was just using them on a project that required a little more than 10 amps and there was no visible heating or voltage drop. I can't say enough about the quality of the leads for the price.
The round grip extension off the bottom of the alligator clip is the only reason for four stars rather than five. br>br>The alligator clip springs are the strongest I've found, and because of their round extension and spring strength, it almost takes two hands to open them without them turning sideways in your hand, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is inconvenient when using them. br>br>These would be five stars all the way if the round extension had a flat side for better grip when opening the clip. br>br>In every other way, they're nearly perfect: the length is just right at 3 feet; the width is just right; the length is just right; the width is just right; the length is just right; the width is just right; and the length is just right Wire coating is supple and flexible, and the product is well-made. I only ordered one set of five, but I put them all through their paces with a multimeter and they all passed. br>br>This is a good product that should last for years in normal use, whether daily or on a rare occasion. br>br>I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others. In my 25 years of equipment service and repair, I've seen the best, most durable test leads I've ever seen.
While the current draw is limited to 15 amps or less, the length of these leads makes them extremely useful! I've used them to repair wiring at fuse panels and for lighting at all four corners of my 34-year-old pickup truck. Because I'm old and lazy, I connect the test leads to two different sounding horns (one in the front, one in the back) so I don't have to physically see the circuit power up. It certainly makes my life easier at 72 years old and partially disabled, and they can make your life easier as well. I would definitely buy them again and would recommend them to a friend!.
They have the ability to drive a large number of amps without becoming overheated. I have a lot of the standard alligator cables (the ones we're all familiar with), and in my most recent project, I started having a lot of problems as the power transfer increased. They have a tendency to overheat and even melt; at first, I connected up to four cables, but I could still feel the heat from the cables. As a result, I needed to come up with a plan. br>br>I decided to buy this set instead of the old ones because I wanted to keep the old ones for smaller scenarios. br>br>These cables are incredible; the quality is excellent, they are simple to open and handle, and they have a powerful force. And the cable itself is far less resistive and, in fact, quite durable. Attempting to break one will be difficult. br>br>So, if you're having trouble with the thinner regular Joe alligator cables, pick up these. I highly recommend them, and I will undoubtedly purchase from them again.
These leads perform admirably, the clips are sturdy, and the wire is of a useful gauge. Another set of inexpensive leads was rendered useless due to the wire's low gauge. These don't specify what gauge they are, and I haven't opened one to find out, but I've never had any issues with low-current DC equipment. I wouldn't use these for high current or AC because they're most likely aluminum wire, but they've worked well for small DC items like battery chargers and LED strips.
The cable is nice and flexible, and it is well insulated, but the description claims copper alligator clips, which it is not. Copper is used to make the cable. The clips don't appear to be copper in the photo, but I trust the written word more than the image, so I tried them. Copper isn't used in the clips.
Wire is heavy enough to be useful, but it's also soft and flexible. The clips are extremely durable. springs that are extremely strong. Designed to provide leverage for your fingers. For around $50, Snap On sells a similar set without the heavy-duty clips. Instead, I'm grateful I came across these. The circuit is rated at 15 amps.
