Wheres do you buy your welding cable?

I've bought from weldingsupply.com before. They give pretty good discounts if you buy longer lengths, and when I bought it they had the 50ft price on the 25ft so I got 25ft for something like 1.70 a ft.

Also THIS was the best $8 I ever spent...crimps 1/0 in seconds

Actually it's not...What you linked to is the older KLM line. They sell KLMX on the website and it only takes like 10 seconds to register...

It's "COPPER CLAD" aluminum. Which is slightly better than aluminum. But you are correct SPLaudio. IMO that klm stuff is garbage. Either go with welding cable or spend the extra on the quality fleks cable. Copper clad aluminum is just a way to for them to make more money saying that the cable is a certain guage (which it may be) but does not have the conductivity or continuity that pure copper has. There is a reason that stuff is cheaper.

I'm sure the klm has it's applications, but not in most of our cases here.

If you want to spend money, get Kicker Hyperflex. If you want to save money, get the welding cable.
