last year I give `` sensible '' gift to some of my family in northern Minnesota : Long cable super heavy duty jumper cable for sub-zero weather and maneuver a jump around snowdrift . and I get this Bucket Boss Jumper Cable Bag to hold the cable . it look great and hold the 20-foot 4-gauge -lrb- thick -rrb- jumper cable . much better than a plastic bag with a twist-tie ! here be the heavy-duty jumper cable I get . incidentally , longer and heavier gauge cable be well worth it . they still carry voltage well even when the weather be freezing .
