16 gauge is about the thinnest jumper cables you can get. while they might work for a small car, dont even think about trying to jump start a bigger truck else you just might have a fire to deal with on your hands.
^ Where do you see them listed as 16 ga? That's a very small wire more like you'd see in the lighter outlet to lighter outlet type charger-jumper type cables.
To me the cables look closer to 12 ga.
This looks like a $5 kit with $8 shipping.
The gauge is not the problem, the problem is these jumper cables are at best 6ft long. This is fine if you can get the cars to face each other. If the cars are side by side you will need to put the batteries next to each other in order to reach. Also the best practice is to connect positive to positive, negative on good battery to ground on the car with the bad battery. You want to connect the neg on disabled car to an unpainted part of metal as far away as possible from the battery. Batteries give off gases and when you make the final connection it may spark and ignite the gas.
