Compared against Weldingsupply, Knukonceptz and other welding companies of wire that meet the AWG standard or better.

Current ratings may be different than what you expect and this is because the current ratings are based on a precise voltage drop %.

Just because a wire can handle or is rated at a certain current rating doesn't mean that's the best capable for the job!

If you have seen current rating of wire higher than what is listed above, that means it will have an even worse voltage drop % at the given length comparison.

Wow I just realized I have been buying 1/0 lugs off this site for a good amount of time and haven't ever taken the rime to look at their wire. Those prices are great!
