Jump Leads

Hello wise ones Thumbs Up

I'm after a reccomendation for a heavy duty set please

For once it's not for my D4 Whistle ....the wife's Troopers battery was dead so I got out my jump leads and eventually got it going,but when I went to disconnect them they were hotter than my "Carolina Reaper" flakes Laughing .I then worked out that my grandma bought me them when I was 17 ...so time for a new set me thinks Laughing Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

As above. I have the same set as Robbie

Any thinner, and they start getting a bit warm when jumping a D3/D4. Though I dont remember paying that much for them. My D3 Build Thread

Unfortunately they're cheap for a reason.

They self disassemble when you aren't looking Rolling Eyes .

TH White have these in stock at what appears to be very good price, only 3m / 400amp ones though but would easily be enough for Discos Troopres etc

Never used them yet, but they are biggies!

Are they any good though ?
