[QUOTE="bumpin buick, post: 6232363, member: 578001"] A new company by the name of SHOK Industries is hitting the USA. I have gotten some sample wires to test out and would like to share my findings with you guys. I will let the pictures do most of the talking but I could not say enough about this product. It is literally a fraction of the price compared to anything that comes close to it. The Wire [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4413.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4414.jpg[/IMG] I tried to get as clean of a cut on each wire as I could but some simply do not cut as clean as others I have come to learn. Here are a few to give comparisons. American Bass 1/0 vs Shok(right) [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4415.jpg[/IMG] Shok vs KNU Koncept KLMX, it is kind of a optical illusion as the shielding on the KLMX is smaller it makes it look as though there is a larger amount of wire. I can get more pictures with measurement but the Shok actually has over 1000 strands more and is copper not the clad junk [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4418.jpg[/IMG] Stinger Pro Hex vs Shok [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4422.jpg[/IMG] Stinger HPM vs Shok [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4420.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4444.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc256/usask8er1/IMG_4446.jpg[/IMG] My honest take on the wire is this.
