Shelled clamps, and a slogan that belongs to another brand
K KRIËGER 6 AWG, 16 ft, shelled clamps
The same 6-gauge pair as the Energizer lead here, with a shelled clamp and three dollars more.
What you are getting
Sixteen feet (4.9 m) of 6-gauge cable in a thick vinyl coating, copper-clad aluminum, with shelled vinyl-coated clamps carrying a strong spring and a comfortable handle, stated tangle free and flexible at −40 °C, in a high-grade travel bag. Stated for “trucks, SUVs, full-size cars, mid-size cars and small/compact cars”. $22.97.
It is the Energizer pair’s listing with one clause changed
All five bullets match the Energizer ENB-616U pair on this shelf, in the same order, with the brand name swapped. The fifth ends:
“THE BRAND NAME YOU CAN TRUST — We are here to power your car battery and truck with our booster jumper cables. We keep you going and going!”
“We keep you going and going” is Energizer’s own long-running slogan, printed here.
The two EANs share a prefix — 0841915005694 here, 0841915003072 on the Energizer pair — and a shared GS1 prefix means one company registered both numbers.
So there is one product and two labels, and the published difference is a single clause in bullet two:
| Energizer | This pair |
|---|
| Bullet 2, second clause | “Thick vinyl coating for protection against rust and corrosion.” | “Safety featured of shelled vinyl coated clamp for rust and corrosion protection.” |
| Price | $19.96 | $22.97 |
That one word is the only specification difference, and it is a real one
A shelled clamp has a molded cover over the body of the clamp rather than a coating on the handle alone. It is the difference between a clamp that can short against a wing when it slips and one that cannot.
Where it sits on this shelf:
| Lead | Clamp insulation |
|---|
| Noone | non-conducting rubber, UL listed, full cover |
| Nilight | “fully wrapped with PVC insulation coating” |
| This pair | “shelled vinyl coated clamp” |
| CARTMAN | “rubber-insulated clamps”, dual-grip |
| Energizer | “thick vinyl coating” on a handle |
| Einhell, published | “4 fully insulated pole clamps” |
| IWH, published | “solid cast clamps” |
The introduction’s third clamp test is “insulation that does not crack in the cold — which is when they are used”. Five of the nine leads here describe a covered clamp body; this is one of them and the Energizer pair is not, on otherwise identical cable.
Whether a molded shell is worth $3.01 is a judgment. What is published is that one listing says it and the other does not.
Six gauge is 13.3 mm (0.52 in)², which is the shelf’s thinnest section
Six AWG is 13.3 mm (0.52 in)², in copper-clad aluminum — which the introduction says carries “roughly two-thirds of what copper carries for the same section”, so about 9 mm (0.35 in)² of copper equivalent.
Every lead published earlier on this shelf is thicker: 16 mm (0.63 in)² on the Schumacher pair, up to 50 mm (1.97 in)² on the IWH pair. The only American lead that is not 6 gauge is the Noone pair at 2 AWG ≈ 33.6 mm (1.32 in)².
And the vehicle claim here is the broad one — “trucks, SUVs, full-size cars” — identical to the Energizer wording and made on the same conductor the Nilight pair limits to “small/compact cars, coupe, sedan”.
Minus forty, and nothing above room temperature
The fourth bullet states that the copper-clad aluminum cable remains flexible even at −40 °C (-40 °F).
Shared with the Energizer and Nilight pairs; the CARTMAN pair stops at −25 °C (-13 °F); the five published leads state nothing.
No upper limit here. The Nilight pair publishes 75 °C and the Noone pair 60 °C, and the upper figure is the one that applies to a lead left clamped on while an engine idles.
The bag, and nothing else in the box
“Our Krieger jumper cables come with a high-grade travel bag.”
The Nilight and Noone pairs add gloves; this and the Energizer pair do not. Four of the five American leads include a bag, and the published AEG page gives the reason: it “stops the clamps biting through their own insulation in a boot”.
What is not published
No cross-section in mm² — gauge only. No amp rating. No upper temperature limit. No clamp jaw opening, which no lead on this shelf publishes. No voltage range, where three published leads state 24 V. No engine sizes, where four published leads state petrol and diesel capacities. No warranty term, where the Noone pair states three years. No weight.
At $22.97 it is a $19.96 cable with a better clamp cover and another company’s slogan in its last bullet.
