I kind of wish I had gotten my CDL before the classes were required that cost a few thousand dollars to take. Our township road supervisor asked me to drive some for him. I’ve wondered if he has his CDL but I don’t want to open that can of worms.

So last night I was chillin looking at FBM and an ad for a set of Buyers 1000 AMP jumper cable set, new in box came up. Lady selling it was 3 miles from me. I googled them and best price I found new from a retailer was $300.
She offered to sell them to me for $50! I ran up the street and grabbed them. I wanted a jump start kit for the 7500. I have a similar set in the Ram and use them pretty regularly.

Installed today. The 4th battery compartment is a perfect space to store the 7’ battery side cable and Andersen plug.

I stuck the case for the 25’ jumper cables in the new Buyers tool box. It’s fillin up fast!

Definitely a good deal on those cables.
Yes on the bumper, I can see it being useful in some of the situations you have posted...if it's a good price that is.

The set on my Ram has saved my bacon a few times. Just once is all it takes to pay for them.

Seller wants $2500.
I bet that thing cost $15,000 new????
The only thing I can’t tell is how much cable?
Common sense/experience says 100 feet?

For $2500 I'd jump on it, you can test it out first I presume? 100' of cable at least, 1/2" ?

It doesn’t appear to be in too rough shape, a wire brush, grinding wheel and sanding wheel, and some paint will go a long way with it as long as the winch is in reasonably good working order
