What is the most useful length to get?

Definitely 20 feet because you will pay a bunch more for 25 feet.20 feet should be plenty to connect two cars, or two trucks, together at the batteries.

The longer the better, since it allows you to jump a car from behind on the interstate. 18-20 feet at least. Just make sure you get the heavier gauge cables to account for the greater length.

in my opinion yes.............mine are 25 and there have been occasions i have been glad i had the extra..........what if you were even 1 foot away from making a connection, because of how they/you are parked....you'll be glad you did. Plus, these are a better quality, the last pair I'll ever have to buy!

The length depends on the battery locations of both vehicles, drivers side or passenger side,, and the positions of the two cars, side by side needs about 12 feet, back to front could require 25 feet. Longer cables have higher resistance, so to compensate, and allow for sufficient current transfer, a heavier gauge, lower number cable, should be purchased, such as 4 gauge. If the running car has a big capacity battery, and a big capacity charging system, starting will be easier, especially if the non-running vehicle has a very dead battery, and /or a large displacement engine. The colder it is outside, the more amperage will be needed to start the non-running vehicle.

longer than you think you will need...it never fails, you need a jump and you're parked the wrong way, I will say that the 20 footer is the minimum

at least 20 feet.......heres why....say you have to pull up behind a dead battery car (end to end) you will want the cables to fit from yours to theirs......hope it helps!

The longer the better. Just understand that you want to make sure if you get long (beyond 15 feet) they are of suffencient gauge to start an engine of your size. 4ga cables are good for engines up to about 5L in displacement. And extended lengths like the 25ft length offered here mean that unless both vehicles are extremely long, you can actually jump a vehicle from behind (like parked on a residential street.)

Probably the medium-sized. The top portion is stretchy, so I wouldn't be concerned with the length.

I can understand your asking this question as product description is anything but straightforward. The size displayed must be the shipping package. That said. These come in varying sized. You can get lengths from 4', " WMS4-C000674 " up to 8' " WM96SS ". Keep in mind this is for one hose. If you require two ,one can buy a two pack. This particular model is 5 feet in length, " 2PBSPW60-1212 5-Foot Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hose, 2-Pack ". In most application 4 feet is sufficient.

It'll more than do the job. Just measure the distance you need and then add a foot or two. Get the length closest to that. Better to have a little too much length than too little.

There is a whole lot of variance in this answer. I'd like to know as well, since I'm looking for a longer cable.

its always has to be full length. I think if you need it shorter, you have to by shorter extensions.

Order the 6ft one, it is ideal to have some free space so that you have some leeway on the top near your head !

You definitely need the 4 ft. It doesn't hurt anything to have the extra length. You can either cut the extra length and burn the end to prevent it from unraveling, or fold and tuck the extra length under the velcro.

They are different lengths depending on which one you are using. The longest is approximately 3/8 of an inch long.

I don't remember the exact size that I got but it was a full. If I remember correctly there were actually 2 different lengths available. I just researched and go the one that was closest to my requirements. Fortunately, it worked out beautifully.

In all honesty unless your goin to have a much longer cable it will make no difference performance wise. So far this give crisp clear signals for me. That length should not be able to make a difference in the performance

Don't skimp on extension cords. Buy a good one and get a thick (low gage) one that matches their recommendation for the length of cord you plan to use.

The cable is three feet long. If you feel that's not long enough, then get the six foot one(the six foot one would probably be more than enough).

It's not too much, you will be prepared for a situation where you need the length to either reach your battery or that of a stranded motorist. With a full-sized car, that extra length may be necessary.

What is its maximum length? (Why don't products come with some specifications?)

Just one thing to think about. Be sure that the length of these cables is the length you require to do the job. I didn't do that and find these cables were shorter that I really needed. I ended up hooking these two end-to-end to make one replacement for a longer cable that I messed up and had to replace.

I haven't noticed that at all. Sorry, though, cannot verify. The length more than serves all of my needs.
