Customer Reviews

These are absolutely the worst leads I've ever seen. They prove that the "cheap overseaas" moniker is deserved and --astoundingly-- devolving. The wire is maybe 28 AWG, _maybe_. It's uncoated copper, pre-corroded (turning green/black). The plastic coating is a bit rougher (which initially seemed nice, versus the previous el-cheapo leads with shiny plastic coating). The clips are of course awful. The clips are crimped (not soldered) onto the wires and coating, with the bared wires folded back over the coating...meaning that simply "adding a dab of solder to the crimp" (which used to work on all previous el-cheapo leads) no longer works and instead causes a molten, stinky plastic mess.
Beware this product; they've actually made what was already horrible much worse. I'd send them back if it didn't cost more.
I find my opinion of Amazon decreasing as I discover they carry such total garbage. And the clowns who write positive or blaise or non-critical reviews of technical products, well, maybe they should go overseas, too. It pains me that such garbage products have been put into place and have put out well-made products, American or otherwise. The commentator Gerald Celente mentions a "Made in China" backlash that's been long brewing. Total garbage products like this junk frenetically propel that eventuality, but not nearly enough. These leads are total, absolute junk -- build your own. Get American made Mueller clips from Digikey and some real 22 AWG Teflon coated wire from Weico and save yourself the trouble, cost and aggravation of discovering Yet Another piece of total overseas garbage.

Some of the specs on these leads (from the package):
Length: 19 1/2"
Alligator Clip Length: 1 1/2"
22 ga Insulation for protection against shorting and shock
Assorted colors: red, green, black, white, and yellow
These Chinese-made leads are very light duty becuase of the wire gauge and length. Much more suited for circuit board work than for automotive applications where you are possibly handling higher current loads. At 20 1/2" long (measured clip end to clip end), you can't span a very long distance with them and the small clips are barely big enough to grasp connections 1/4" in size. Two leads of each color are included. They are fine for low voltage apps and short jumps; buy something with a heavier gauge wire and bigger clips for automotive work.
