    I'd suggest 15 quid Argos or Halfords will see you right.. Why pay more for something that does the job and you'll hardly use, if ever..

    Because the better they are the longer they'll last.

    I've borrowed Jump Leads that were that thin, they couldn't get the current through to boost the battery in my car.

    the old guy across the street gave me a really long set that are made from old welding wire, they are really thick and start cars first time, got them free which is even better,,
