	I have a 22' set of 00 jumper cables made from welding cable. I've  
had them for over 30 years. The clamps were changed at least twice.  
They will start anything and the 22' length comes in handy when a car  
is nosed in or there is an obstruction next to it. I doubt there is  
much current lost along their length thanks to the many fine strands  
and huge diameter. They weigh a ton.
