Jumper cables? Nah....there is a newer better solution.

In regards to helping people with a jump start, my Dad had a problem, and needed a jump. My Dad's car had an electrical issue, and it burned up my wiring. After that, I prefer not to use jumper cables.
Now, I sure that I will get some flak, but, I bought a Harbor freight jump box, and it has worked great for several years.
