Not viable either given that plenty of them have

And what matters much more with the worst of
the jumper cables is how the clamps are done
because that limits their performance much
more than the cable gauge in the situation
where high current is needed over the cable
because the battery in the car that wont start
is so ****ed that it wont even turn the engine
over and so needs to deliver the full current
needed to turn the engine over at a decent rate.



Use some telephone station wire then, dingaling!
