Thinner wires are better for jumping off all do to with the current flowing

How exactly??
The thinner the wire te more the resistance so therefore more drop in the power and they will also get to hot and melt....
I made some jump leads out of 10mm think welding cable and they will start anything from a car to a bin wagon :laugh:
